Get ready for an explosive evening of boxing as Caroline Dubois, the WBC champion, steps into the ring with Terri Harper, the WBO belt-holder, in a highly anticipated lightweight unification battle! This historic all-British showdown will take center stage at Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions' inaugural UK event on April 5th at London's Olympia.
But here's where it gets even more exciting! The co-main event features another British fighter, Ellie Scotney, who aims to become the undisputed super-bantamweight champion by taking on WBA title holder Mayelli Flores Rosquero. And that's not all - fellow Britons Chantelle Cameron and Emma Dolan will also showcase their skills in world title fights on the undercard.
This fight night marks a significant return for Sky Sports as a boxing broadcaster, having signed a deal with MVP. Sky Sports has a rich history in the sport, having previously collaborated with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom and Frank Warren's Queensberry. However, their partnership with MVP is a fresh start after opting out of renewing their deal with Boxxer last summer.
Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of MVP, emphasized the significance of this event, stating, "This represents a major milestone for MVP as we introduce our brand to the UK market for the first time, partnering with Sky Sports to showcase the talent, depth, and ambition of women's boxing today."
Scotney, at 27 years old, has the opportunity to become the fourth British undisputed champion in the four-belt era if she overcomes the 33-year-old Mexican, Mayelli Flores Rosquero. Meanwhile, Northampton's Chantelle Cameron, a former undisputed light-welterweight champion, has the chance to become a two-weight world champion at light-middleweight against the unbeaten Michaela Kotaskova. Cameron's only loss was to Irish sensation Katie Taylor in 2023, while Kotaskova, a 34-year-old Czech fighter, boasts an impressive record of 11 wins and two draws.
And let's not forget Norwich's Emma Dolan, also 27, who will aim to claim her first world title against the vastly experienced IBF super-flyweight champion, Irma Garcia. The Mexican fighter brings 35 fights of experience to the ring, compared to Dolan's eight, and is 17 years Dolan's senior at 44 years old.
This event promises to be a thrilling showcase of women's boxing talent, and we can't wait to see how these British fighters perform on the big stage. Who do you think will emerge victorious? Let us know your predictions in the comments below!
