American three-weight world champion Mikaela Mayer has signed with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), joining Caroline Dubois and Amanda Serrano at the boxing promotion.<\/p>\n

Mayer links up with Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, the co-founders of MVP.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old, who has won world titles at light-middleweight,<\/a> welterweight and super-featherweight, joins an organisation that last week announced it would be launching a women’s league<\/a> in 2026.<\/p>\n

“I’ve always wanted the biggest and best fights, and MVP’s premier roster of women champions creates incredible opportunities to make those matchups happen,” Mayer said. <\/p>\n

“I’m looking forward to showcasing my skills on some of the biggest platforms in the sport and working with a passionate, innovative team that believes in the continued growth of women’s boxing.”<\/p>\n

Mayer has long chased a rematch with unified super-featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner, but has not fought at that weight since losing to her domestic rival<\/a> in 2022.<\/p>\n

WBO champion Mayer has also been pushing for a welterweight unification fight with Wales’ Lauren Price who defends her WBA, IBF and WBC titles against Stephanie Pineiro on 4 April.<\/p>\n

Lightweight champions Dubois and Terri Harper are also with MVP and their unification bout on 5 April is set to be the first event of MVP’s new league ‘MVPW’.<\/p>\n

It is unclear how the league will operate and it hinges on the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act passing in the US which currently bans boxing promotions from having their own UFC-style leagues with rankings and their own world titles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"American three-weight world champion Mikaela Mayer has signed with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), joining Caroline Dubois and Amanda…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":473983,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-476967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/473983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
