Get ready for a groundbreaking night in boxing history! For the first time, Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) is bringing its star power to the UK, and it’s kicking off with a bang—a historic all-British, all-female main event. On April 5th at London’s iconic Olympia, WBC champion Caroline Dubois and WBO titleholder Terri Harper will collide in a lightweight unification bout that promises to shake the boxing world. But here’s where it gets even more exciting: this isn’t just about Dubois vs. Harper. The card is stacked with talent, showcasing the depth and ambition of women’s boxing today.
Ellie Scotney, at 27, is on the cusp of making history herself. She’ll co-headline the event in an undisputed super-bantamweight clash against WBA champion Mayelli Flores Rosquero. If Scotney wins, she’ll become the fourth British undisputed champion in the four-belt era—a feat that’s as rare as it is impressive. And this is the part most people miss: Chantelle Cameron, a former undisputed light-welterweight champion, is stepping up to challenge for the light-middleweight WBO title against the unbeaten Michaela Kotaskova. Cameron’s only loss? To the legendary Katie Taylor in 2023. Meanwhile, Emma Dolan, just 27, is aiming to claim her first world title against the seasoned IBF super-flyweight champion Irma Garcia, who brings 35 fights and 17 extra years of experience to the ring.
Sky Sports is back in the boxing game after signing a deal with MVP, marking their return to the sport after parting ways with Boxxer last summer. Nakisa Bidarian, MVP’s CEO, calls this event a ‘major milestone,’ and it’s easy to see why. But here’s the controversial question: Is this the moment women’s boxing finally gets the mainstream recognition it deserves, or is it just another step in a long journey? With such a stacked card, it’s hard to ignore the talent on display, but will it be enough to shift the narrative? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—this is a conversation worth having!
