WBC champion Caroline Dubois will fight WBO belt-holder Terri Harper in a lightweight unification bout on 5 April at the Olympia in London.<\/p>\n
The long-awaited all-British bout will headline Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions’ first event in the UK.<\/p>\n
Ellie Scotney will be co-main event in an undisputed bout while fellow Britons Chantelle Cameron and Emma Dolan are also in action on the undercard in world title fights.<\/p>\n
The fight night sees Sky Sports re-enter the boxing market as a broadcaster after signing a deal with MVP. <\/p>\n
The broadcaster has a long history in the sport having worked in the past with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom and Frank Warren’s Queensberry, but the deal with MVP is their first since opting against renewing their deal with Ben Shalom’s Boxxer last summer.<\/p>\n
“This event represents a major milestone for MVP as we bring our brand to the UK for the first time and do so with Sky Sports, with a card that reflects the scale, depth and ambition of women’s boxing today,” Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of MVP, said.<\/p>\n
Scotney, 27, aims to become undisputed champion at super-bantamweight when she takes on WBA title holder Mayelli Flores Rosquero.<\/p>\n
The unbeaten Scotney can become the fourth British undisputed champion in the four-belt era if she beats the 33-year-old Mexican.<\/p>\n
Northampton fighter Cameron has the opportunity to become a two-weight world champion at light-middleweight against the unbeaten Michaela Kotaskova in their WBO title fight.<\/p>\n
Former undisputed light-welterweight champion Cameron’s only loss came to Irishwoman Katie Taylor in 2023 while 34-year-old Czech fighter Kotaskova has 11 wins and two draws on her record.<\/p>\n
Norwich’s Dolan, 27, will aim to collect her maiden world title when she faces the vastly experienced IBF super-flyweight champion Irma Garcia.<\/p>\n
The Mexican has 35 fights compared to Dolan’s eight and is 17 years her senior at the age of 44.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WBC champion Caroline Dubois will fight WBO belt-holder Terri Harper in a lightweight unification bout on 5 April…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":453647,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-453646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453646"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453646\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
