Among the cohort to be announced on Thursday are unified WBO, WBA, and IBF light flyweight champion Evelin Bermudez, WBC light flyweight champion Lourdes Juarez, and IBF super flyweight champion Irma Garcia.

There were also contracts signed by former WBA super bantamweight champion Mayelli Florez, WBA bantamweight mandatory challenger Brittany Sims and unbeaten super bantamweight prospect Iyana Verduzco.

All six women join a stacked female stable that already includes the likes of Amanda Serrano, Alycia Baumgardner, Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron.

“Evelin, Lourdes, Irma, Mayelli, Brittany, and Roxy represent the pillars of MVP, as reigning world champions, top-ranked contenders, and next-generation stars,” said MVP co-founders Nakisa Bidarian and Paul in a joint statement.

“Together, these signings mark a major step forward in cementing MVP as the global home of women’s boxing.

“By deepening our investment in Argentina, Mexico, and the U.S., we’re not only building a roster of elite talent but also creating the match-ups fans want to see, elevating the sport on a global scale.

“We’re proud to provide these athletes the platform, visibility, and opportunities they deserve and look forward to their promotional debuts soon.

“Beginning with Lourdes Juarez on our quadruple championship main card at MVPW-03 on Saturday, May 30, live on ESPN from El Paso.”

Bermudez (22-1-1) picked up the IBF light flyweight title in 2018 and unified it with the WBO belt four years later.

Her reign of dominance was briefly derailed in 2022 by a loss to Yokasta Valle.

However, the Argentine bounced back to regain her titles and add the WBA strap to her collection with a victory over Sara Bailey last September.

Juarez (39-4) is a two-weight world champion, having previously held the WBC super flyweight title between 2020 and 2022 before dropping down and winning the major sanctioning body’s light flyweight belt.

She is also the younger sister of fellow two-division champion Mariana Juarez.

IBF super flyweight titlist Garcia (26-5-1) is boxing’s oldest world champion.

She retained her belt earlier this month at the age of 44 with a stoppage victory over Britain’s Emma Dolan on the Terri Harper vs Caroline Dubois undercard at the London Olympia.

Garcia previously held the WBA bantamweight strap in 2013.
