toppling Australian Olympian Skye Nicolson in hostile territory<\/a> to claim her WBC title. She\u2019s fought once since, cruising past Emma Gongora (no relation) on a September club show in Houston, but now finds herself in position to battle Amanda Serrano in one of the better fights women\u2019s boxing has to offer at the moment.<\/p>\n\u201cSigning with Most Valuable Promotions is a major moment in my career,\u201d Brown said. \u201cFrom my amateur foundation to becoming a world champion, every step prepared me for this level. I\u2019ve earned everything through discipline and consistency. Now I get to showcase that experience and championship mindset on a global stage with MVP.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jones (9-0, 3 KO), 28, took bronze at the Tokyo Olympics after falling to Hong Gu in the semifinals. She turned pro the following year and, seven fights later, edged out veteran titlist Femke Hermans to win the IBF belt by split decision. Her lone fight of 2025 saw her take home another split decision, this time over BoxRec no. 2 Elia Carranza in July.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom earning an Olympic medal to becoming a two-belt world champion, every step has prepared me for this,\u201d Jones said. \u201cWith MVP behind me, I\u2019m ready to compete on the biggest stages and continue building my legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n
BoxRec no. 11 super flyweight LeAnne Cruz (11-0, 1 KO), no. 9 super featherweight Elise Soto (10-0, 9 KO), and no. 23 lightweight Miranda Reyes (8-3-1, 3 KO) also join the roster. The press release gives a spotlight to debutante Jully \u201cPoca\u201d de Oliveira, a social media darling and Misfits veteran with a 4-0 record in exhibitions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI chose MVP because they don\u2019t just put women on the card, they lead the way in putting us in the spotlight,\u201d Poca said. \u201cSeeing how they have done with Amanda Serrano, Alycia Baumgardner and others shows me their incredible commitment to making sure female fighters are valued as we should be. While I am so grateful to everyone who has supported my journey so far, joining MVP gives me a platform to represent my country on the world stage and help take Brazilian boxing to a whole new level.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another day, another crop of quality female fighters joining the Most Valuable Promotions roster, as Jake Paul\u2019s outfit…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":446234,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,1920,85],"class_list":["post-446233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=446233"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446233\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/446234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=446233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=446233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=446233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
