Sunday’s MVPW-01 card at Olympia in London’s Kensington is built around four world championship fights, a double main event, and the launch of a promotional platform that could reshape how women’s boxing is packaged and broadcast globally. The card airs live on Sky Sports in the UK and streams on the ESPN App in the United States, with the main card beginning at 7:00 p.m. BST (2:00 p.m. ET).
Here is a fight-by-fight breakdown of everything on the line.
Caroline Dubois vs. Terri Harper: WBC and WBO Lightweight Unification (10 Rounds)
This is the fight the card was built around, and it has delivered everything a promoter could ask for before the opening bell. Caroline Dubois (12-0-1, 5 KOs), the undefeated WBC champion, faces WBO titleholder Terri Harper (16-2-2, 6 KOs) in a 10-round unification at 135 pounds that carries genuine animosity, clear divisional stakes, and two contrasting career arcs colliding at the right moment.
The buildup has been combustible. On Sky Sports’ The Gloves Are Off, Dubois told Harper directly that she didn’t respect her as a fighter, an athlete, or a person. Harper, visibly stung, vowed to hand Dubois her first professional loss. Things escalated further on Wednesday at Olympia when Harper shoved Dubois during a fight-week photo shoot, apparently reacting to Dubois stepping in front of her. Dubois, who had initially predicted a seventh-round stoppage, responded by upgrading her forecast to four.
Dubois, 25, is a former Youth Olympic gold medalist, World Youth champion, and four-time European Youth champion who famously trained under the alias “Colin” at London’s Repton Amateur Boxing Club as a child because the gym didn’t accept girls. She turned professional in February 2022 with an amateur record of 37-3 and has risen quickly through the ranks, winning the IBO lightweight title in her eighth fight before capturing the interim WBC belt with a decision over Maira Moneo in August 2024. She was elevated to full WBC champion in December 2024 after Katie Taylor relinquished the belt. Dubois is a southpaw who fights behind a sharp jab, uses her hand speed to control distance, and has shown increasing power as she has matured in the professional ranks.
Harper, 29, from Doncaster, brings deeper professional experience and a resume that includes both triumph and genuine adversity. She became the second British woman after Nicola Adams to win a major world title when she claimed the WBC super featherweight belt in 2020, and she has since become the first British woman to hold world championships in three weight divisions. Her career also includes two knockout defeats, to Alycia Baumgardner in four rounds at super featherweight in 2021 and to Sandy Ryan in four rounds at welterweight in 2024. Harper reinvented herself at lightweight, outpointing Rhiannon Dixon in September 2024 to claim the WBO belt and then defending it against Natalie Zimmermann in Doncaster last May. She is an orthodox fighter who uses a four-inch height advantage to box at range, times counters effectively with her right hand, and has 148 professional rounds to Dubois’ 80.
The tactical matchup is built around competing advantages. Dubois has the speed, the amateur pedigree, and the southpaw angles. Harper has the experience, the size, and the ability to weather storms in the later rounds. Harper told Sky Sports that she believes she can use the adversity she has faced throughout her career to her advantage, saying she has experienced everything a fighter can experience, from broken hands and cuts to last-minute fight changes. Dubois’ camp sees it differently. The WBC champion has been clear since January that she views this fight as the first step toward becoming undisputed at 135 and has told ESPN that she believes Harper knows there is no bigger fight for her than this one.
For Dubois, a win unifies two of the four major lightweight belts and sets up a potential superfight with Baumgardner. For Harper, a defeat could end her viability at the elite level. A win would rewrite the entire narrative of her career.
Ellie Scotney vs. Mayelli Flores: Undisputed Super Bantamweight Championship (10 Rounds)
The co-main event is arguably just as significant for what it could produce. Unified IBF, WBC, and WBO super bantamweight champion Ellie Scotney (11-0) faces WBA titleholder Mayelli Flores (13-1-1, 4 KOs) with all four belts on the line at 122 pounds. If Scotney wins, she becomes the youngest undisputed world champion in UK boxing history in the four-belt era, regardless of gender.
Scotney, 27, from Catford in south London, has moved through the super bantamweight division with purpose. She won the IBF title in just her seventh professional fight, added the WBO belt in 2024, and then claimed the WBC title on the undercard of Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano III at Madison Square Garden last July. ESPN ranks her as the number one super bantamweight in the world. She earned recognition as ESPN’s 2025 British Boxer of the Year and sits at number 10 on Ring Magazine’s pound-for-pound list.
Flores, 33, from Mexico City, is the kind of opponent who cannot be overlooked. She captured the WBA 122-pound crown with a split decision over Nazarena Romero in Kissimmee, Florida, last May, and she brings a high-pressure, volume-punching style that could test Scotney’s composure in a way her previous opponents have not. Flores is fighting for more than a belt. A victory would make her Mexico’s first undisputed female boxing champion in history, a distinction she has spoken about publicly and with pride.
Scotney should be the sharper, more technical boxer, but Flores has shown she is willing to push the pace and trade in the pocket, which could make for compelling action. This fight has the potential to produce the most consequential result on the card from a historical standpoint.
Chantelle Cameron vs. Michaela Kotaskova: Vacant WBO Super Welterweight Title (10 Rounds)
Former undisputed super lightweight champion Chantelle Cameron (21-1, 8 KOs) steps up two weight classes to challenge for the vacant WBO super welterweight title in what could be a historic fight for reasons beyond the belt itself. MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian told Sky Sports that Cameron’s bout against Czech-born Austrian contender Michaela Kotaskova (11-0-4, 2 KOs) is planned for 10 rounds of three-minute rounds, the same distance used in men’s world title fights, with backing from both the WBO and the British Boxing Board of Control.
Cameron, 34, from Northampton, is one of the most accomplished fighters in British women’s boxing history. She became undisputed at 140 pounds in 2022, holds the only professional defeat on Katie Taylor’s record, and has won three straight since losing the Taylor rematch, most recently defeating Jessica Camara at Madison Square Garden last July. She has been open about her desire to eventually face unified super welterweight champion Mikaela Mayer, who is expected to be ringside on Sunday. Cameron has called the Taylor trilogy door “closed” and has fully committed to establishing herself at 154.
Kotaskova, 30, is unbeaten across 15 professional contests with four draws. She is a multiple-time Austrian national champion who holds the WBF welterweight title and is currently the WBO’s number four contender at 154 pounds. She is an educated, rangy fighter who studied at the University of Vienna and works as a boxing coach and charity ambassador outside the ring. Kotaskova should not be written off, but Cameron’s class advantage is significant, and the three-minute rounds may actually favor the more seasoned champion, whose aggressive, come-forward style has always seemed constrained by two-minute limitations.
Irma Garcia vs. Emma Dolan: IBF Super Flyweight Title (10 Rounds)
The card opener among the world title fights features IBF super flyweight champion Irma Garcia (25-5-1, 5 KOs) defending her belt at 115 pounds against England’s Emma Dolan (8-0, 1 KO) in a 10-round contest that offers a compelling clash of experience against youth.
Garcia, from Mexico City, is one of the most remarkable figures in the sport. She holds a law degree with a specialization in criminal law, has earned a master’s degree in public administration, and has served more than 22 years as a police officer with the Secretariat of Citizen Security of Mexico City, graduating with honors from a class of 450 officers. She has been awarded the Medal of Sports Merit. Inside the ring, the 38-year-old is a seasoned veteran who has fought at the world level for years and brings the kind of toughness and ring intelligence that comes only from decades of competitive experience.
Dolan, an unbeaten prospect from England, gets her first world title shot and faces a steep step up in class. This is the kind of opportunity that a young fighter either seizes or learns a hard lesson from. Garcia is the more proven commodity, but Dolan’s youth and ambition make her dangerous, and Sunday’s stage is the kind of platform that can accelerate a career overnight.
The Bigger Picture
MVPW-01 is more than a fight card. It is the inaugural event of MVP’s dedicated women’s boxing platform, which has already secured multi-year broadcast agreements with both ESPN in the United States and Sky Sports in the UK. The deal guarantees at least two all-female MVPW fight nights in Britain annually, with Sky also broadcasting select American events, beginning with Alycia Baumgardner vs. Bo Mi Re Shin at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden on April 17.
MVP now represents more than 40 female fighters, 15 reigning world champions, and 22 top contenders. The promotional company holds active broadcast agreements with four major platforms: Netflix, DAZN, Sky Sports, and ESPN. No promotional company in boxing history has assembled a comparable multi-platform portfolio in under five years.
Sunday’s card is built around four world title fights and a double main event featuring genuine hostility at the top of the bill. It also features three-minute rounds in a women’s world title bout, a potential youngest-ever undisputed champion, and a veteran police officer defending her world title against an unbeaten Englishwoman. From top to bottom, the card represents the kind of investment in women’s boxing that the sport has been demanding for years. The question now is whether MVPW can deliver on the promise. Four fights. Four answers. Sunday at Olympia.
