MVP's WBC lightweight world champion "Sweet" Caroline Dubois fights out of London. The 2020 Olympian made her pro debut in February 2022. In August 2024, she won the WBC Interim lightweight title, then was elevated to become the WBC lightweight world champion that December.

The 25-year-old southpaw successfully defended her title three times in 2025 to confirm her place as one of the rising stars in the sport.

"I'm excited to make this fight," said Dubois. "This is a massive fight in my career and for British boxing, both a legacy fight and unification. The goal is to become undisputed world champion and this is the first step."

MVP's WBO lightweight world champion Terri "Belter" Harper fights out of Doncaster. She won the WBC super-featherweight title in 2020. In 2022, Harper moved up four divisions to 154lbs to win the WBA super-welterweight world crown. In September 2024, she moved down to 135lbs and claimed the WBO lightweight world title.

With that win, she became Britain's first three-division women's world champion. Harper made her first title defence at 135lbs in May of last year.

"This fight has been a long time in the making," Harper said. "I'm grateful to MVP for getting it over the line. I'm excited to be headlining MVP's first UK show!"

'Destiny awaits!'

MVP's unified super-bantamweight world champion Ellie Scotney will become the youngest UK female boxer to fight for undisputed - and will become the youngest boxer in UK history, male or female, to become undisputed champion if she wins.

The Catford favourite became IBF world champion in just her seventh pro fight before unifying when she won the WBO title in 2024.

The 27-year-old then claimed the WBC belt on the undercard of MVP's Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano trilogy fight last July.

"Nothing is like God's timing," Scotney, a devout Christian, said. "For that little kid that first glimpsed the stage and stakes that await on Sunday April 5 everything has aligned to this very moment. I'm beyond grateful to MVP for delivering once again, and now it's my turn.

"Destiny awaits, time to make history in my hometown in front of my very own."

Mayelli Flores is the reigning WBA super-bantamweight world champion from Mexico City. After an early career highlighted by a narrow defeat in a world title challenge against Yulihan Luna, Flores defeated Nazarena Romero by split decision to capture the WBA 122lb crown last May. The 33-year-old Flores represents Mexico with pride as she continues her rise among the sport's elite.

"I would like to thank God, MVP and my team for this incredible opportunity," Flores said. "When I heard the fight was moved to the UK, I agreed without hesitation. We Mexicans show up ready to fight anywhere, mentally and physically ready for war. Ellie Scotney is a great and tough fighter, but I am up for the challenge. A win over Scotney will put me in the history books as Mexico's first undisputed female boxer in history. I am ready to make history.

"I dedicate this fight to my family and all the boxing fans watching in person and at home."

Caroline Dubois reveals the reason behind her fiery press conference clash with Alycia Baumgardner before her fight with Camilla Panatta in December

Former undisputed super-lightweight champion, Chantelle "Il Capo" Cameron won the WBC 140lb world title in 2020, unified her titles in 2021, then became undisputed super-lightweight champion in 2022. She successfully defended her crown against Irish legend Katie Taylor in May 2023, while their rematch resulted in a majority decision victory for Taylor.

Cameron returned in July 2024 to win the WBC Interim 140lb title. "I cannot thank MVP enough for this opportunity to become a two-weight world champion," said Cameron. "When we spoke to Jake and Nakisa [Bidarian] about signing with MVP there were a lot of promises made, and they have delivered on every one of those promises. Fighting for a world title in the UK on Sky Sports is huge for me and my family.

"Sunday, April 5 you are going to see the very best of Chantelle Cameron."

Michaela Kotaskova is a Czech-born Austrian professional boxer, boxing coach and charity ambassador. She began boxing in 2014 in the Czech Republic while at university, then continued her studies at the University of Vienna while pursuing her boxing career. Between 2017 and 2022, she represented the Austrian national boxing team and became a multiple-time Austrian national champion, then turned professional in 2022. Kotaskova is the WBO's No 1 contender at 147lbs and No 4 contender at 154lbs.

"I've put my blood, sweat, and tears into the sport for the past decade," she said." I fear no one, and should not be underestimated. This level of opposition is nothing new to me. I'm ready to take everything she's willing to give."

Irma "La Torbellino" García is a professional boxer, attorney, police officer, and member of the Secretariat of Citizen Security of Mexico City. In the ring, she is both a former and current world champion, having previously won the WBA bantamweight world title at 118lbs and now holds the IBF super-flyweight world title.

"I'm proud to make my second title defence with one of the biggest promotions in the world, MVP," Garcia said. "We know what's in front of us - this is a serious challenge against an undefeated fighter who's coming hungry. But my team and I are doing the work, staying locked in, and we're ready to prove exactly who the champion is. That belt belongs to Mexico, and after this fight, it's going back home where it belongs."

Emma Dolan hails from Newark and is the current British and Commonwealth super-flyweight champion. Dolan has climbed up the world rankings with consecutive victories in 2023 that saw her win and defend the Commonwealth 115lb title. She added the British title to her collection in a fight of the year contender against Shannon Ryan in June 2024, and has defended both successfully.

Now the IBF's No 1 contender, she aims to become the first British woman to win a world flyweight title.
