What A Combination! MVP and women’s boxing
Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian are making their mark, supporting, developing and flourishing women`s boxing.
When we think of the surname Paul, it’s inevitable to contemplate controversy. Over the years, from their rise to fame on Vine, to their YouTube videos, the Paul Bros, have accompanied their careers with spicy headlines.
Most Valuable Promotions was founded in 2021 by Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, with a vision of bringing a different approach to promoters.
“With a mission to provide greater creative control to fighters, MOST VALUABLE PROMOTIONS works to identify, grow and maximize the performance of its own events and talent partners.” This is MVP’s mission.
Due to the controversy that has always generated one of its co-founders and being a very new promoter with a considerable amount of capital, the boxing world is watching attentively.
Another of the promoter’s characteristics is its support for women’s boxing. It is undeniable the rise that women’s boxing has received boost and impetus.
In the same year of its creation, MVP surprised the world by signing the multiple champion, Puerto Rican Amanda Serrano.
