Irma “La Torbellino” García is a professional boxer, attorney, police officer, and member of the Secretariat of Citizen Security of Mexico City. In the ring, she is both a former and current world champion, having previously won the WBA bantamweight world title at 118lbs and now holds the IBF super flyweight world title at 115lbs. She most recently defended her title successfully on MVPW-01 in London, England in April 2026.

Irma Garcia said: “Thank you to MVP for their trust and for making this tremendous opportunity possible. Pursuing the unification of the world titles represents a major challenge. We are working with discipline, dedication, and a hunger for victory, determined to come out on top. Opportunities are not something you wait for. You work for them, you fight for them, and you seize them. And we have no intention of letting this opportunity slip away. ¡VIVA MÉXICO!”

Nataly Estefany Delgado is a 31-year-old pro boxer from Santiago de Veraguas, Panama, Republic of Panama. She has faced top competition throughout her career, including bouts against now-undisputed world champion Gabriela Fundora, former world champions Clara Lescurat and Maribel Ramírez, and Johana Zúñiga for the WBA Fedelatin Championship. Delgado won the Interim WBA super flyweight world title at 115lbs in July 2025 and made two defenses before defeating then-champion Jasmine Artiga to win the WBA world title at MVPW-04 in June 2026.

Nataly Delgado said: “There’s a special meaning behind this next unification bout, and not just because I can be the first Panamanian female boxer to become a unified world champion. As the only Panamanian boxing world champion at this moment in time, it is, once again, an opportunity that comes once in a lifetime… And we’re preparing for it, accordingly. I have MVP and the Republic of Panama counting on me, and, God willing, I won’t disappoint.”

WBA #1 contender at 118lbs Brittany “Eagle Flex” Sims has engineered one of the most impressive turnarounds in women’s boxing, having transformed her career from a 1–3 start into a formidable 10–3 record, highlighted by her current nine-fight winning streak. A well-rounded athlete, Sims brings a diverse background in MMA and track and field, tools that have helped shape her explosiveness, conditioning, and ring IQ. She also dominated in the TCL league, where she put together an incredible 16-fight winning streak. During her rise, Sims captured the WBA Americas Continental title, the NABF title, and the WBA International title, positioning her as the WBA’s #1 contender and mandatory challenger for the world championship. Sims made her MVP promotional debut on MVPW-04 in June 2026 with a decisive win over Naomy Cardenas. She is trained by Lemuel Rodriguez and managed by Dave Dubinsky of DKO and fights out of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Brittany Sims said: “So many times I’ve been skipped over and told I had to wait. My journey has been difficult but I’m thankful for it. The lessons I’ve learned and experienced have been life changing, but they were nothing more than a catalyst. My future is waiting to be defined. This door God has opened is one that cannot be shut. I’ve been chosen, I’ve been anointed, I’ve been blessed, and I am ready.”

Shera Mae “Flying Hawaiian” Patricio is a professional boxer from Waianae, Hawaii. A boxer-puncher known for her combination of technical skill and power, Patricio began boxing in 2014. Her amateur accomplishments include 11 national championships, the 2023 Golden Gloves title, the 2024 Olympic Trials championship, an international gold medal and an international bronze medal. She also represented USA Boxing as a member of the Youth Team twice and the Elite Team four times. Since turning pro in 2024, Patricio has captured the WBA Continental, WBA Intercontinental, NABF and WBA Gold titles. Boxing is a family tradition for Patricio. Her father was a boxer, and she and her six younger siblings were all raised in the sport, with her siblings going on to achieve national and international championships. The oldest of seven, Patricio credits her family and faith with instilling the leadership, discipline and determination she brings to the ring. Patricio signed with Most Valuable Promotions ahead of her challenge for the vacant WBA regular bantamweight title, marking a pivotal moment for Patricio to continue developing her career, expand her impact in the sport, and turn years of hard work and sacrifice into lasting success.

Shera Mae Patricio said: “Arlington, Texas, I’m coming. I’m excited to step back in the ring as an MVP fighter on ESPN and chase another championship. The Flying Hawaiian is ready to take what’s mine and show the world why I’m on top.”

Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, co-founders of MVP said: “MVPW-07 in Arlington, Texas, is shaping up to be a massive night of boxing with four world championship fights as the main card and another title fight on the preliminary card. While we’re disappointed Ellie Scotney is unable to compete, we wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her and Tiara Brown back in the ring soon. Ramla Ali now has the biggest opportunity of her professional career against an undefeated Mikiah Kreps, while Irma Garcia and Nataly Delgado will put their world titles on the line in another major unification bout. We’re also adding more MVP talent to the preliminary card, including Brittany Sims and newly signed Shera Mae Patricio competing for a world title, along with undefeated rising star Nat Dove returning for a highly anticipated rematch. Sunday, November 8 is loaded with high-stakes fights featuring some of the best talent in boxing, live on ESPN.”

Dallas native Fernando “El Capitan” Garcia made his professional boxing debut in 2015 while appearing on The Undercard, a boxing reality series that aired on CW33 and Telemundo. The first fighter taken under the wing of former unified world champion Errol Spence Jr., Garcia has competed on major boxing stages including AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, and Staples Center in Los Angeles, with appearances on Showtime and FOX Sports. Garcia currently trains at World Class Boxing Gym in Dallas under the leadership of acclaimed trainer Derrick James.

Fernando Garcia said: “We’re four weeks away. Come November 8, everything we’ve worked on in silence will become undeniable. Dallas is home, and I know my family, friends, and fans have been patiently waiting for this announcement. From AT&T Stadium to College Park Center in Arlington, Texas, I’m grateful to have the opportunity to fight at home, in front of the people who have supported my career. The show continues. November 8.”

The experienced campaigner is known for volume punching and resilience in the 118–122 lb range.

Alexander Castellano said: “I know that my opponent is tough and coming to put on a performance for his hometown crowd, but that’s not my concern. I’m only focused on proving what I already know and showing what I can do in the ring.”

Following her outstanding amateur career as a 15x US national champion, MVP’s Nat Dove has quickly emerged as one of women’s boxing’s most promising up-and-coming talents. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native first made waves on MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects developmental series, competing at the 6th and 8th installments of the series. Dove scored her first knockout against Michel Novas in March 2025, continuing to develop her undefeated record. She defeated Randee Lynn Morales by TKO in August 2025 on the MVP Fight Night card and most recently defeated Perla Lomeli on MVP’s Jake vs. Joshua Judgment Day Showcase in December. She is managed by Bob Kane, lives in Atlanta, Georgia and trains out of Philadelphia. 

Nat Dove said: “I’m super excited to be back on another amazing MVPW card and can’t wait to showcase everything we’ve been working on. My first fight with Nayeli ended in a draw, and I know I wasn’t at my best that night. On Sunday, November 8, I’m bringing the best version of myself, and this time there won’t be any doubt about who won.”

The 25-year-old Nayeli Rodriguez made her pro debut in August 2024 in Chihuahua, Mexico, and competed in her first pro bout in the United States as part of MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects 12 in May 2025. In the bout, she faced off with MVP’s Nat Dove, with the bout ending in a draw. The El Paso, Texas native now seeks a win as she meets Dove for a rematch on MVPW-07 in November 2026. 

Nayeli Rodriguez said: “I’m feeling good and excited to be back on Sunday, November 8th. We’re finally getting the rematch we wanted and I’m ready to secure the win this time. I’ve been focused and training hard for this fight and I’m just ready to get back in the ring.”

Javier Guerrero said: “I am proud to be given the chance to fight on this MVP event. It is a big opportunity for me and my team and I’m truly grateful. It has been a long road for my team and me and I plan to just fulfill my dream of becoming a world champion and to give my family and team a better life.”

Before turning pro, he built an impressive amateur résumé, becoming a Texas State Silver Gloves Champion and earning the #1 ranking in Texas in his division.

Coached by his father, Julian Anderson, alongside Samuel Clarkson out of Skills Boxing Gym, Aiden continues to build his name as one of Dallas’ promising young fighters.

LONDON, ENGLAND – April 5, 2026 – Most Valuable Promotions’ (MVP) historic MVPW-01 took place tonight at Olympia in London, England, streaming live on Sky Sports in the UK and ESPN+ in the U.S., marking the launch of MVPW, the promotion’s new global platform dedicated to showcasing the sport’s elite women fighters through championship-caliber matchups year-round. The inaugural event delivered a stacked night of action, headlined by MVP’s “Sweet” Caroline Dubois (13-0-1, 5 KOs) and MVP’s undefeated, unified WBO, WBC, and IBF super bantamweight world champion Ellie Scotney (12-0). Dubolis captured the unified WBO and WBC lightweight world titles over MVP’s three-division champion Terri “Belter” Harper (16-3-2, 6 KOs), while Scotney made history as the youngest undisputed champion in UK history, male or female, and the first-ever undisputed champion at 122 lbs as she faced Mexico’s Mayelli Flores (13-2-1, 4 KOs). Additional standout performances included MVP’s Chantelle Cameron becoming the new WBO junior middleweight world champion and a two-division world champion, reigning IBF junior bantamweight champion Irma Garcia (26-5-1, 6 KOs) retaining her title, and dominant victories across the preliminary card.

At the press conference following the fights, Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of MVP and the fighters had much to discuss. 

NAKISA BIDARIAN QUOTES

On getting Ellie Scotney a car:

Look, we just need Ellie to get her license and as soon as she gets that she’s she’s getting a car. We’ll talk to her about what makes sense and what she wants. I know she’s put out the G Wagon already. So, if that’s really what she wants, we’ll try to figure that out for her.

On MVP’s new rule to give fighters a car if they become the youngest undisputed male or female in history in their home country:

So just for the record, the new rule at MVP is if you become the youngest undisputed male or female in history in your country, we will get you a car. So, set that in stone. She did it because everyone’s going to be asking where’s their car every time they win. But that’s the rule.

On MVP working with Sky Sports: 

Want to thank Sky Sports for believing in our vision of what women mean for boxing, the product that they can deliver. I think working with them, we delivered tonight for the sport, for these athletes, for the previous generations, current generations, and future generations.

On working with the Olympia:  

I want to thank the Olympia for allowing us to come to this historic hall that was once the home of many great big boxing events. When we came to London, what we wanted to do was do something fresh, but something that meant something to the sport of boxing from a country that we’re new to and we felt that was achieved tonight.

On Dubois vs. Harper:

I thought it was a harder fight than anticipated. And in the end, I think the right person

won. But kudos to Terry Harper. What a what a champion. It’s been an honor to work with her just on this one fight and we said to her, we want her to continue to be involved in MVP.

On Chantelle Cameron:

Tonight, you saw why she is one of the goats of boxing. If Katie Taylor is a goat, then Chantelle Cameron is a goat. 

On the location for Chantelle Cameron vs. Mikaela Mayer:

Probably in the US is the thought process for that fight. We’ve talked to Chantelle about that. We’ve talked to Mikaela about that. But we’ll see.

On Caroline Dubois facing Katie Taylor:

My dream scenario is for Caroline [Dubois] to be the last dance partner of Katie Taylor. The goat Chantelle Cameron just walked in and I know Katie Taylor won’t take that fight, but maybe Katie Taylor seizes an opportunity to pass the baton. Not pass it, but give Caroline the opportunity to take the baton from her. And I think that would be a massive fight at Croke Park.

CARONLINE DUBOIS QUOTES:

On her thoughts on Terri Harper following the bout: 

She’s smart, you know, and she’s experienced. She knows how to get through a fight. She knows how to box. I guess their tactics was to stay away and try and counter.

On putting pressure on Harper: 

I tried to do that. Could have definitely done a bit more. 

On fighting Katie Taylor:

I got a lot of time for Katie. I think she’s a legend. If she said Caroline Dubois, let’s do this, you know. If she wants to test herself against me, I would jump at the opportunity. Who wouldn’t? 

On fighting MVP’s Alycia Baumgardner: 

I’m interested in is Alycia “The Bomb” Baumgardner. And I think we’ll be able to see who truly is the best. And I believe it’s me. That’s the fight I want by the end of the year. There’s no need to waste time. There’s no need to mess around. 

On the significance of fighting MVP’s Alycia Baumgardner: 

The biggest fight in women’s boxing. I want Alycia. I want her next. 

ELLIE SCOTNEY QUOTES:

On preparation for the bout:

When I tell you everything that could have went wrong in camp, in the leadup went wrong, but on the night everything went right. And again, as I keep saying, all thanks be to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

On her post-fight interaction Mayelli Flores:

All props to her. I went and saw her straight away afterwards giving her belt back and she said rematch. I said, “No, thank you.”

On becoming undisputed: 

I feel like I’ve waited a long time to get this moment and at certain points I thought, am I going to get it? But, you know, MVP came in, and they made sure I did. 

On her mindset going into the ring:

If you want to become undisputed, being in that 1% club, you’ve got to go through whatever it takes. And I had that mindset when I went through that ring. Whatever it took, I was going to become undisputed.

On putting a spotlight on women’s boxing:

I feel like the spotlight was on women’s boxing and that’s what it’s about. I feel like if we can all come together and make noise and then we’re doing something right. So no, it was never about stealing any spotlight. It was putting the spotlight on women’s boxing and that’s what MVP are doing.

On her mother getting in the ring with her: 

My mom is the backbone of me and you know, I always go back to what she’s given me and I could never give her enough back. To see her in that ring tonight and yeah she endured so much with me, so this journey was so much bigger than just me. I love my mum. I love her and tonight I hope she was proud. 

CHANTELLE CAMERON QUOTES:

On the significance of her win:

It was beautiful. It was a special moment for me. It meant more to me than winning the world title.

On doing three-minute rounds:

I’m absolutely ecstatic. I’m glad to make history and do the three-minute rounds and get it under my belt now.

On doing three-minute rounds moving forward:

It did feel different. I think I had to like kind of pace myself as well, but I think it suited me a lot better because I felt like I got better shots off. But I think 3 minutes is the way forward.

On going down a weight class:

I’m going to go down a weight. I think that weight was a bit too much for me. I think I felt the size in there a bit and she was really tough and maybe down a weight I could have got the stoppage but that weight is not for me.

On facing Mikaela Mayer under three minute rounds:

I’d love it to be three minute rounds and I think Mikaela [Mayer] will do three rounds as well. I think she’s got the work rate and I think she’ll do three minute rounds and it would be a shame to go back to twos. It’s kind of like going backwards.

CAROLINE DUBOIS QUOTES

On her confidence that she will defeat Harper on fight night: 

I’ve won every battle from the moment this fight was signed. I’ve won every battle, and I will continue to win every battle. Come fight night, I will win the battle. This is a war, this is everything. 

On her intentions for Sunday’s bout: 

Talk is cheap. We can all push and shove, and that’s all great, but what’s important is stepping into the ring on Sunday and kicking ass. That’s what I fully intend on doing.

On how she handles the buildup to the fight:

I’m not a weak individual. I don’t get distracted by noise. I love the noise. I run towards the fire. I don’t run away. This is my sport. This is my life. I love it. I love everything about it. The build-up, the fight, the intensity, everything. I don’t run away from it, and I’m not afraid of it. 

Dubois response to Harper’s thoughts on her commentary leading up to their bout:  

You can say what you want about your own projection. Maybe this is what would scare you, but it doesn’t scare me, Terri. It doesn’t scare me.

On Harper’s thoughts going into the fight:

I’d hate to be going into a fight thinking: ‘All I have is an engine.’ That’s a bit scary.

On backing up her commentary on Sunday: 

Talking isn’t going to win a fight. It isn’t going to lose a fight. The one thing I really love about boxing is that anything you say, everything you say, you have to back it up. It’s so easy for trolls online to say whatever they want to say, but they go missing. They disappear, they post without a face, they say anything, and they don’t have to back up their words. But we’re fighters, we step into the ring and we 100% back up our words. I can’t wait to do that.

On her belief that she is better than Harper:

Every experience I’ve had, negative or positive, has built me to be the woman that I am today, and I think that the woman I am today is a better woman and a better fighter than anything Terri Harper brings come Sunday, and I can’t wait to prove that. 

On having no animosity towards Harper: 

I’ve got nothing against her as a human being, as a person. I’m sure she’s the nicest woman in the world, but that’s not what it’s about. It’s about fighting, and it’s about winning. 

On pushing women’s boxing forward:

We’ve been on the back burner for so long, but now we’re pushing forward. We’re breaking boundaries. 

On her experience boxing:

I’m an elite athlete. I’ve been doing this since I was nine years old. I didn’t walk into a gym when I was, I don’t know, 19 20. 

TERRI HARPER QUOTES

On her thoughts going into her bout vs. Dubois: 

I trust fully in the timing of my life and the time of my career that this is my moment. All those years, ever since I’ve stepped through the gym doors as a young amateur, have led to this moment. 

On Dubois’ commentary leading up to the fight: 

Caroline just said herself, talk is cheap, and that’s all she’s done the last 12 weeks, so. For me, I’ve been fully focused on the job that I got to do Sunday night. As you can see, I’ve been quiet on my socials for this training camp because I’ve been fully focused on the job I’ve got to do, whereas Caroline’s been arguing online, getting sucked into everything.

On how Dubois compares to fighters she’s previously faced: 

Caroline is the best fighter that I’m going to fight. I’ve prepared for that. 

On her plan for fight night:

That first half of the fight is where she [Dubois] is the most dangerous, so I need to be very disciplined and switched on.

On Dubois’ commentary at the press conference: 

You can turn my mic off. Caroline will do my talking. 

On her advantage over Dubois:

I’ve got the engine.

On Dubois saying her respect must be earned: 

I do not want, and I do not need Caroline’s respect.

ELLIE SCOTNEY QUOTES

On her thoughts on potentially becoming the youngest undisputed champion in the UK in the four-belt era: 

When that bell goes on Sunday, they’re all [belts] on the line. I’m going in as a challenger. Nothing else changes. 

On taking on Flores’ Mexican fighting style on Sunday: 

Only a one percent club becomes undisputed, and you have got to be willing to go any place. If it has to be Catford vs. Mexico, it might have to be. 

On being friendly with others on the card: 

So many people on this card I’ve either sparred with or brushed shoulders with, so it just shows you the movement in boxing. That’s the beauty of boxing, and that’s the beauty of MVP.

On pressure to become undisputed:

It’s a massive moment, but again it’s all talk. All that matters is Sunday, and that’s where my focus is. 

On inspiring the youth to box:

I don’t just want little girls to watch us all on the show; I want little boys to watch and go, ‘I want to fight because of these ladies.’ I think every one of us on this card, at this table, on the undercard before that, will prove why women can do it and they can do it the same as men.

MAYELLI FLORES QUOTES

*All quotes have been translated from Spanish to English.

On potentially becoming Mexico’s first undisputed champion on Sunday: 

If Ellie wants to beat me, she has to beat me by coming and fighting me. These belts cannot be won by running. I want to represent and do Mexico, but also Latin America, proud. I want to win all these belts at this division. 

On the significance of a win: 

We say in Mexico that you come back with everything or you come back with absolutely nothing. 

CHANTELLE CAMERON QUOTES

On fighting three-minute rounds:

If women want equal rights and equal pay, we kind of got to do what the men are doing.

On her and MVP’s role in evolving women’s boxing:

It’s great because you see all the young ones. They’re getting their world title shots, going for undisputed. I think MVP has saved women’s boxing. I think women’s boxing was taking a massive dip. MVP has come on board and saved it.  

On potential unification bout vs. Mikaela Mayer:

I’m going to focus on my job on Sunday. I never overlook any opponent. I think it’s disrespectful, but me and Mikaela have spoken loads of times, and Mikaela knows what it is. It’s nothing but respect. She’s a great opponent for me, and we’ll see what the future holds.  

On a potential trilogy vs. Katie Taylor over three-minute rounds: 

I think the ship sailed. I wish Katie all the best, and I hope she has her swan song, and I hope it goes well at Croke Park.

MICHAELA KOTASKOVA QUOTES 

What would it mean to her to come champion of the world:

It’s a big opportunity for myself, for my country, for my boxing gym, for my coach, and manager. I’m here to win the fight and the belt. We’ve trained hard.  

On fighting three-minute rounds:

I’ve become a big fan of three-minute rounds because you have to work differently. You just have to choose the right pace, and it’s more fun than the two-minute rounds, so I really enjoy it. 

On supporting females who want to explore boxing:

I think for the girls it’s very important to be confident in everything they want to achieve in their lives. I think boxing is very good preparation for life. 

On being amongst great female fighters on the card: 

It’s very nice to be here with all these women and to show the best of what the sport has to offer.

IRMA GARCIA QUOTES 

*All quotes have been translated from Spanish to English.

On her career outside of boxing:

I’ve been a police officer now for 22 years in Mexico City. I’ve served my country as a good Mexican, and I’m also a qualified lawyer and I have a degree in public administration. The other part of my life is boxing, which is a fundamental pillar of my life. 

On her thoughts going into fight night vs. Emma Dolan:

I always have respect for any opponent that I’ve faced in the ring, but we’ve come here to show that we can win. We’ve put that hard work in, and we fully intend to take that belt home to Mexico and defend it.

EMMA DOLAN QUOTES

On her confidence going into Sunday’s bout:

It’s my time now. I’m here to take that belt back with me. 

On being an underdog:

I’ve been the underdog in a lot of fights, and I always come over and win fairly comfortably. I don’t think this should be any different.

On her respect for her opponent, Irma Garcia:

I’ve got big respect for Irma as well. She’s a champion. You don’t get belts given to you; you have to earn them.

On a potential rematch vs. Shannon Ryan:

To be honest, Shannon is pretty irrelevant to me now.

CAROLINE DUBOIS QUOTES

On the significance of the fight and her legacy: “It represents the start. First off, I want to thank everyone here for coming and supporting women’s boxing and supporting the women here today with me. I’m very happy and excited to be headlining. This is amazing for me. This is the start, and I’m happy, and I’m thankful to Nakisa, to Jake Paul, to MVP for making it happen. I can’t wait. Honestly, as I said, this is the start of my future, my legacy, or my greatness. I believe I’m going all the way, and it starts with Terri.”

On her rivalry with Terri Harper: “I called her irrelevant because I believe that she is. I’m not focusing on Terry Harper, I never have, and I never will. I’m focusing on the belt, my future, and my legacy. My legacy starts with becoming undisputed at the lightweight division. Unfortunately for Terri, she’s the one holding the belt, so that’s who I’ve got in my mind. But if it were anyone, and I mean anyone, it wouldn’t matter. My energy, my intensity, and my mindset would be the same.”

On her confidence and preparation: “There’s a quote that I’ve heard recently that’s just stuck with me. It says, ‘If you want to win the lottery, you still got to make the money to buy the ticket.’ I believe Terri Harper is my lottery ticket to the future. Whatever I want is on the other side of her. But I still got to make the money, and the money is made in the gym. I’m going to work my ass to the bone. I’m going to leave no stone unturned, train like I’ve never trained before.”

TERRI HARPER QUOTES

On the opportunity and being her authentic self: “She’s doing a great job selling the fight. She’s doing my work for me. So I’m just being my authentic self. I’m here, and I’m enjoying the moment. It’s a great opportunity for me. I thank MVP and Jake Paul for putting on such a great show for us female fighters and coming back to the UK with such an amazing card. I’m focused on what I need to do.”

On her experience in the ring: “I feel like this fight is the perfect time in my career. As Caroline says, I’ve got experience, and honestly, the stars have aligned. I’ve got a great team around me now, and I’m just hungrier more than I have ever been.” 

On being overlooked by Dubois: “I’ve been there in my career before, where I’ve been looking at future fights before I’ve even done the fight in front of me. That was a mistake I had to learn the hard way. I feel like Caroline is doing that now. I feel like I’m not here for her respect, but I feel like she’s massively overlooking me and thinks it’s going to be an easy night.”

On what a win over Dubois would mean to her: “For me, this fight isn’t about the belts. Like for me, I just want to beat Caroline, and that’ll be the sweetest victory of my career.” 

ELLIE SCOTNEY QUOTES

On rescheduling her bout vs. Flores: “I was gutted. I was thinking, have I missed the opportunity? And you know, I always feel that the Lord’s time is better than ours. And to be fighting on the resurrection of Jesus Christ proved that to me. You know, every setback’s aligned. And April the 5th, I’ll become undisputed champion in front of my home crowd.”

On earning recognition in the UK: “I feel like I’ve done everything the right way. I’d like to think, as in I’ve never boxed for a vacant title. I’ve gone from champion to champion to champion. And the final one awaits me on April the 5th. I feel like holding integrity through it all will be the thing that will make you stand out in the long run. I just feel like doing it the right way might be the longer way, but I feel like it’s the way Ellie was meant to do it.”  

On fighting in the UK: “Whenever I pictured fighting for undisputed, it was always at home. So the fact that MVP has over-delivered for me, everything I’ve thought or imagined, they bettered. 

CHANTELLE CAMERON QUOTES

On how she joined the card: “Thank you to MVP, Nakisa [Bidarian], Mike [Leanardi], and Jake Paul, cause they got me this opportunity. It wasn’t in the plan, but it’s just worked out. Everything just worked out perfectly for me. I started the year off, and everything’s aligning again. I went back to Jamie [Moore] and Nigel [Travis]. It was my fourth day back in the gym, and the next thing I’m getting a phone call from my manager saying that I’ve got a world title shot as well. So, it was all within a week. I’m just thankful.” 

On future bouts: “There are so many great women boxers out there now, and I’m more

looking at Mikaela Mayer, kind of that division, Lauren Price. But, you know, whatever happens happens. I think that’s what I’ve learned in my boxing career. You just got to go with the flow and win your fights.” 

On the move to 3-minute rounds: “I’ve wanted to do three-minute rounds for years now, but I’ve never kind of had the opportunity. But with MVP, they are massive supporters of three-minute rounds as well. So, we spoke about it, and they were going to get me three-minute rounds, and they got me the vacant WBO world title to go along with it.” 

EMMA DOLAN QUOTES

On taking the first step to becoming world champion: “I knew as soon as I turned pro I was going to be world champion, and this is the first step going towards what I want to achieve.”

On her friendship with Scotney: “Ellie’s one fight away from being undisputed champion, which is crazy. She’s always sort of setting the standard. I’m going to be the world champion on April 5th. It’s crazy, but I’m here for it, and I can’t wait for the fight.”
