Champions Tiara Brown and Oshae Jones to Defend Belts
Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) has slated June 13 for a significant boxing event at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida. The night's billing will prominently feature Tiara Brown, the WBC featherweight champion, and Oshae Jones, the IBF super-welterweight titleholder, both making defenses of their world championships. Brown is set to face Hannah Rapp, while Jones will engage in a rematch against Elia Carranza, a bout that follows Jones's split decision victory over Carranza last July.
The June 13 event underscores MVP's commitment to elevating women's boxing by placing multiple world championship contests at the forefront of a major promotion. This initiative aligns with the company's recent strategic signings, which include several high-profile female fighters.
Undercard and Promotional Debutants
Beyond the main championship bouts, the MVP bill on June 13 is scheduled to include other notable contests. Unified light-flyweight champion Evelin Bermudez of Argentina will make her promotional debut with MVP, facing Mexico's Estefany Alegria. Additionally, MVP's own two-time Brazilian Olympian Keno Marley is slated to appear. Boxlab Promotions will also contribute undefeated fighters Gabriela Tellez and Jordan Orozco Hernandez to the undercard. Another scheduled bout sees Jasmine Artiga defending her WBA junior bantamweight title against an opponent yet to be announced.

MVP's Growing Roster
The June event comes in the wake of MVP's recent acquisition of six new fighters, including Brown and Jones. This expansion effort, announced in late January 2026, also brought on board Brazilian boxer and influencer Jully Poca, WBA No. 1 super-flyweight contender LeAnna Cruz, WBO #4 and IBF #5 contender Elise Soto, and Mexican-American lightweight Miranda Reyes. These signings highlight MVP's strategy to build a strong roster, particularly within women's boxing, aiming to provide a prominent platform for their athletes on a global stage. Oshae Jones, an Olympic bronze medalist, expressed excitement about fighting on what she described as "the biggest and best platform in women's boxing" with MVP.
