Mikaela Mayer signs with Jake Paul’s MVP
By Eddie Sanchez
Most Valuable Promotions announced the signing of three-division world champion Mikaela Mayer, another major addition to the stable at Jake Paul’s promotional company, which has overwhelmingly taken over the women’s side of the sport.
Mayer, 35, (22-2, 5 KO) is one of the standout names in the sport since turning pro in 2017. She currently holds both the WBC super welterweight title and the WBO welterweight belt, both of which were won in 2025.
Mayer had spent her entire career as a Top Rank fighter, but for most of the last four years has been fighting on cards promoted by others. Her most recent fight came last October in Montreal on an Eye of the Tiger bill. Mayer was still under contract with Top Rank for those fights, but the company’s dwindling output made the move to MVP very attractive.
“I’m thrilled to join Most Valuable Promotions as we continue breaking barriers and elevating women’s boxing to new heights,” Mayer said in a statement. “I’ve always wanted the biggest and best fights, and MVP’s premier roster of women champions creates incredible opportunities to make those matchups happen. I’m looking forward to showcasing my skills on some of the biggest platforms in the sport and working with a passionate, innovative team that believes in the continued growth of women’s boxing.”
Mayer has said that her main goal at this time is to face Lauren Price for the undisputed welterweight championship, though there has also been increased talk of her moving up in weight to face Claressa Shields, who happens to be one of the few stars in women’s boxing not signed with MVP.
