Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) has added British star Terri Harper to its women's boxing roster. Harper, a three-weight world champion, recently captured the WBO lightweight crown.
MVP's move to sign Harper is part of a calculated push to make women's boxing more visible and lucrative. The promotion company is expanding its reach in Britain and building a roster of champions and contenders for major events.
Harper expressed her excitement about joining MVP. She said:
"I am excited to join the movement of women's boxing at MVP. Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul are doing great things for the sport of boxing and for women in particular. I'm looking forward to some big nights and big fights ahead. Let's go!"
Harper is the sixth British woman on MVP's roster, joining Ellie Scotney, Chantelle Cameron, Savannah Marshall, Ramla Ali, and Shannon Courtenay. Her career has been marked by impressive achievements and resilience.
In her tenth professional fight, Harper won her first world title, the WBC super-featherweight, against Eva Wahlstrom. She had a memorable draw against Natasha Jonas and faced defeat against Alycia Baumgardner. Harper then moved up four weight divisions to claim the WBA super-welterweight title over Hannah Rankin. After a challenging spell at welterweight, including a loss to Sandy Ryan, she dropped to lightweight and took the WBO title from Rhiannon Dixon.
MVP founders praised Harper's versatility and status in British boxing:
"Terri has proven herself as a world champion across three weight classes, cementing her status as both a highly-versatile pound-for-pound athlete and one of the most respected names in British boxing. The UK is a top priority for MVP, and Terri's pedigree and power are a perfect fit for our growing international platform."
Jake Paul's impact on boxing often divides opinion, but his focus on women's boxing has received widespread praise. MVP has assembled world-class talent with global appeal, including notable signings like Amanda Serrano (on a lifetime deal) and Alycia Baumgardner.
Women's boxing is enjoying unprecedented exposure, with more broadcast deals and fan engagement than ever before. For Harper, this signing offers a chance to headline major cards, chase more world titles, and inspire the next generation of fighters. For MVP, it's proof of their successful investment in women's boxing and their role in shaping the sport's future.
Harper's addition to MVP's roster is another sign that the promotion is not just raising the profile of women's boxing but actively shaping its future.
