Most Valuable Promotions women's boxing expansion

Overview

Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) continues to expand its role in professional women’s boxing through high-profile championship events.

A key event in Birmingham, UK, featured a super-welterweight unification bout between Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron for the WBA, WBC, and WBO belts. In their rematch, Chantelle Cameron secured a unanimous decision victory over Mikaela Mayer, with judges scoring the bout 97-93, 97-93, and 96-94. The victory was attributed to Cameron’s cleaner, more impactful shots and superior shot selection, despite Mayer finding success in later rounds by closing the distance. A significant left hand in the fifth round was noted as a pivotal moment. Following the result, Mayer expressed interest in a trilogy fight.

On the same card, Caroline Dubois earned a commanding win through improved defense and counter-punching, positioning her as a mandatory challenger for a lightweight title with her team reportedly targeting a summer unification bout.

Following her victory, negotiations for a high-profile superfight between Chantelle Cameron and Claressa Shields have progressed rapidly. After Shields issued a public challenge on social media, Cameron’s promoters at MVP engaged in discussions with Shields’ camp. Cameron has expressed strong interest in the matchup, stating she is willing to compete at the 160-pound middleweight limit rather than bulking up, noting she would “rather concede weight than lose her speed.” Potential hurdles for the bout include finalizing the venue and purse, as well as navigating existing tensions between Shields and the MVP promotion.

Furthering this expansion, MVP has announced ‘MVPW-07,’ a championship supercard scheduled for November 8 in Arlington, Texas, to be broadcast on ESPN, featuring Alycia Baumgardner challenging Elif Nur Turhan and Tiara Brown defending her WBC featherweight title against Ellie Scotney.
