Former World Champion Kim Clavel Signs With Most Valuable Promotions

Press Release: August 26, 2025 By Most Valuable Promotions- Former WBC light flyweight world champion and Montreal, Quebec standout Kim Clavel set to make her MVP debut in Fall 2025

MONTREAL, CANADA – August 26, 2025 – Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) today announced the signing of former WBC light flyweight world champion at 108lbs and one of Canada’s most decorated female boxers, Kim Clavel (21-2, 3 KOs). The Montreal resident, celebrated for her accomplishments both inside and outside the ring, will make her highly anticipated MVP debut this fall. Clavel joins MVP’s growing roster of Canadian talent, including top-ranked lightweight “Prince” Lucas Bahdi known for the most-awarded knockout of 2024, and Tamm Thibeault a two-time Canadian Olympian, amateur world champion, and the current #1 IBF and WBA middleweight contender.

Small in stature but giant in her achievements, Kim Clavel has established herself as one of the leading figures in women’s boxing in Canada and around the world. Born in Joliette, a city on the outskirts of Montreal, Quebec (Canada), she has inspired a wide audience through her courage and talent. Crowned WBC light flyweight world champion in 2022, she is recognized for her fighting spirit, resilience, and charisma that resonate far beyond the ring. Before shining as a professional, Clavel enjoyed an outstanding amateur career, climbing to fifth place in the world rankings across 85 amateur bouts and capturing a gold medal at the 2017 Continental Games. Turning to the professional ranks in 2017, she added the WBC Silver and NABF titles to her record while earning prestigious accolades such as WBC Prospect of the Year, ESPY Award, and Time Magazine New Generation Leader. Under the guidance of Groupe Yvon Michel, Kim reached a defining milestone in 2022 by capturing the WBC world title against Yesenia Gomez, a victory witnessed by hundreds of thousands of fans.

Beyond the ring, Kim Clavel is a trained nurse who distinguished herself during the pandemic by returning to the front lines in a long-term care facility—an act of courage and humanity that earned her the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2020 ESPY Awards. Her warm and genuine personality also led her to participate in Big Brother Célébrités – Québec, where she won over viewers and broadened her popularity with an even wider audience. With the support of her coach Danielle Bouchard and now joining the Most Valuable Promotions roster, Kim Clavel enters the next phase of her career with a clear mission: to reclaim a world title and achieve her dream of unifying the division. 

“A new chapter begins with MVP: pride, motivation, and the honor of joining a team that’s redefining women’s boxing,” said Kim Clavel. “I am grateful to Jake Paul, Nakisa Bidarian, and the whole organization for their trust. I also want to thank the GYM team for helping me get to this point. We have come a long way but we still have far to go!”

“Kim Clavel is the definition of a champion, not just in the ring, but in life,” said Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of MVP. “From stepping away from boxing at the height of her career to return to nursing during the pandemic, to earning the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the ESPY awards, Kim has shown the kind of courage, selflessness, and commitment that inspires millions. She’s also a world-class athlete, a former world champion whose talent and work ethic have made her a fan favorite in Canada. At MVP, we’re honored to welcome Kim to the family and to help her write the next chapter of her career. Attache ta tuque—because the next chapter is going to be big and we will start it with an event in Quebec soon.”
