Press Release: May 31, 2026 By Most Valuable Promotions-  EL PASO, TEXAS – MAY 30, 2026 – Tonight at the El Paso County Coliseum in her hometown of El Paso, TX, live on ESPN, Most Valuable Promotions’ (MVP) WBA lightweight world champion Stephanie Han (14-0, 3 KOs) successfully defended her world title and preserved her undefeated record with a razor-thin majority decision victory (95-95, 96-94 x2) over Albuquerque, NM native and the greatest two-sport athlete of all time, Holly Holm (34-4-3, 9 KOs), in the highly anticipated main event of MVPW-03. 

In a fiercely competitive rematch over ten three-minute rounds at 135 lbs, Han opened strongly, stunning Holm in the second round and building an early lead with sharp left and right hands while fighting through a cut beneath her eye. Holm adjusted well in the middle rounds, increasing her output and becoming the aggressor behind steady combination punching and movement. She outworked Han over stretches of the fight, ultimately outlanding her 107-70 in total punches while throwing 437 punches to Han’s 358. Despite Holm’s late pressure and higher output, Han’s fast start and control of key early exchanges proved enough to edge the close rounds on the scorecards, earning a majority decision victory and another successful title defense.

MVPW-03 also marked a historic milestone for women’s boxing, drawing more than 7,000 fans and surpassing every previous combat sports gate in the storied history of the El Paso County Coliseum to become the venue’s highest-grossing combat sports event of all time. The event streamed live on ESPN and the ESPN App.

In a historic moment for women’s boxing, MVP’s unified featherweight world champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano (49-4-1, 32 KOs) delivered another career-defining performance in the double main event, stopping mandatory challenger Cheyenne “Pepper” Hanson (17-3, 13 KOs) with a ferocious second-round TKO to retain her WBA, WBO, and Ring Magazine featherweight world titles at 126lbs. After a measured opening round contested under equal rules with three-minute rounds, Serrano found her rhythm and overwhelmed Hanson with a relentless barrage of combinations, trapping the challenger in the corner and forcing referee Robert Hoyle to halt the contest at 2:25 of round two. Serrano landed an astonishing 55% of her punches throughout the bout and, with the victory, tied Christy Martin’s all-time women’s boxing KO record with 32 career KOs while further defining her legacy as one of the greatest fighters in the sport’s history.

Also on the main card, MVP’s unified IBF and WBO middleweight world champion Desley Robinson (12-3, 4 KOs) of Logan City, Australia, successfully defended her world titles with a dominant unanimous decision victory (100-90 x2, 99-91) over former world champion Mary Spencer (10-4, 6 KOs) of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Robinson established control early, hurting Spencer late in the opening round before consistently landing the cleaner, harder combinations throughout the 10-round championship bout at 160 lbs. Spencer showed her veteran toughness and attempted to disrupt Robinson’s rhythm, but Robinson’s superior pressure proved decisive, further cementing her place atop the middleweight division. Robinson’s performance earned her MVP’s Performance of the Night Bonus of $20,000.

Opening the main card, Mexico’s WBC junior flyweight world champion Lourdes Juarez (40-4, 5 KOs) successfully defended her WBC junior flyweight world title with a hard-fought split decision victory (95-94, 94-95, 98-91) over MVP’s three-division champion Yokasta Valle (34-4, 10 KOs) in a 10-round bout at 108 lbs. The bout featured closely contested opening rounds before Juarez began to separate herself with cleaner, sharper punching, including badly wobbling Valle in the second round. The action intensified in the tenth round when an accidental head clash left Valle cut near her eye, before Juarez punctuated her performance by dropping the Costa Rican star in the closing moments of the fight, proving why she remains one of the division's elite champions. 

In the preliminary card headliner, MVP’s and Mexico’s #4 WBC, #6 WBO, and #6 WBA contender Yesica Nery Plata (31-3, 3 KOs) of Mexico City, Mexico delivered a composed and technical performance to earn a unanimous decision victory (78-74, 79-73 x2) over Coachella, California's Brook Sibrian (8-6, 3 KOs) in their eight-round light flyweight bout at 108 lbs. Plata controlled the action with her trademark pressure and sharp combinations, consistently outlanding Sibrian and dictating the pace across all eight rounds. Sibrian pressed forward throughout and invested in the body early, but Plata’s sharper combinations and accurate counters off the back foot carried the rounds and proved to be the difference to secure her the win.

MVP’s Miranda Reyes (9-3-1, 3 KOs) thrilled the hometown El Paso crowd with a standout performance vs. Italy’s Camilla Panatta (8-4-1, 1 KO) in an eight-round super featherweight bout at 130 lbs. Reyes took command early, dropping Panatta with a clean right hand in the second round before showcasing sharp combinations and punishing body work throughout the contest. Panatta pressed the action and displayed tremendous toughness over eight competitive rounds, but Reyes’ cleaner, more effective offense ultimately secured a unanimous decision win (79-72, 77-74 x2). 

Also on the card, MVP’s two-time U.S. national amateur champion and rising prospect Alexander “The Alley Cat” Gueche (12-0, 7 KOs) of Long Beach, California, remained undefeated with a hard-earned unanimous decision victory over San Antonio’s Joshua Montoya (7-5-2) in an eight-round junior featherweight bout at 122 lbs. In a closely contested matchup, Montoya’s speed and high-volume offense kept the action competitive throughout, but Gueche’s relentless pressure and sharper power punches proved to be the difference as he secured an unanimous decision win (77-75, 78-74 x2) over Montoya, further cementing his status as one of boxing’s brightest young prospects.

Additionally, WBA #3 and WBC #5 contender Nazarena Romero (15-1-2, 8 KOs), delivered a polished and technical performance against Maria Salinas (27-15-6, 7 KOs), earning a dominant unanimous decision victory (80-72 x3) in their 8-round junior featherweight bout at 122 lbs. Opening the card, MVP’s undefeated prospect Elise Soto (11-0, 9 KOs) passed the toughest test of her young career, using relentless pressure and a punishing body attack to earn a hard-fought unanimous decision victory (39-37 x3) over Thalia Joseline Limon (4-2, 3 KOs) in their four-round featherweight bout at 126 lbs.

Press Release: May 30, 2026 By Dragon Fire Boxing Last Night,(May 29th) DragonFire Promotions held their second event of the year in what proved to be an explosive night of boxing action.

In the main event, Michael Bazley defeated Ryan Williams to capture the WA State Heavyweight Championship in what was a blockbuster showdown. 

The card also saw rising prospects Owen Corrigan and Tanaka Saburi claim championship glory in impressive fashion.

Michael Bazley Wins State Championship in Devastating Fashion

In the headline bout of the evening, “Big Bad” Michael Bazley defeated Ryan Williams to become the new WA State Heavyweight Champion.

Since making his professional debut, Bazley has quickly made a name for himself on the Perth boxing scene with a string of destructive knockout victories. 

Those performances earned him his biggest opportunity yet, a fight for the state title against the experienced Ryan Williams.

The matchup was expected to be Bazley’s toughest test to date, but it was passed with flying colours after he secured a crushing second round TKO victory.

Williams started the fight aggressively, pressing forward early and backing his much taller opponent onto the ropes. Bazley responded well by landing a sharp punch that opened a cut above Williams’ left eye.

The fight dramatically shifted in the second round. As Williams continued to apply pressure, Bazley caught him with a perfectly timed right hand that sent him crashing to the canvas.

Williams beat the count and bravely continued to push forward, but the momentum had clearly swung in Bazley’s favour as he began landing the cleaner and heavier punches.

In the final minute of the round, Williams was caught by another barrage of shots before a flush left hook dropped him for the second time.

Although the veteran managed to get back to his feet, his corner threw in the towel moments later, giving Bazley the stoppage win along with the WA State Heavyweight Title.

The championship victory further highlights Bazley’s rapid progression in the sport since debuting less than a year ago.

Following the fight, Ryan Williams confirmed his retirement from boxing after previous speculation surrounding his future.

Owen Corrigan Defeats Micah Rivetti Again to Remain Undefeated

Earlier in the card, Ireland’s Owen Corrigan defeated Micah Rivetti to capture the ANBF Australasian Light Heavyweight Championship.

The two men first met back in March, when Corrigan earned a hard-fought split decision victory. 

Ahead of the rematch, Corrigan relocated to the East Coast to train under renowned coach Angelo Hyder. The move paid dividends as the Irishman delivered a dominant performance to secure his second professional title.

The fight began at a high pace, with both men looking to make an early statement. Rivetti attempted to close the distance, swinging aggressively in an effort to get inside.

Corrigan remained composed and found success with his timing and accuracy. In the second round, he landed a perfectly timed right cross that dropped The Aussie to the canvas.

Rivetti was able to answer the count but the gap in class started to show, as the undefeated Irishman completely took over the fight and relentlessly hunted the finish.

Corrigan controlled the range of the fight with straight punches before dropping his opponent again just before the round ended.

Further knockdowns followed on the visibly fatigued Rivetti in the third and fourth rounds, before a crushing body shot forced the referee to wave off the contest.

The win improves Corrigan’s professional record to 6-0 and earns him the ANBF Australasian Light Heavyweight Championship, adding a second title to his growing resume.

Tanaka Saburi Captures First State Championship

Rising prospect Tanaka Saburi claimed his first professional title with a stoppage victory over Bikash Rana for the WA State Light Welterweight Championship.

The contest began cautiously, with Saburi dictating the tempo of the fight by using his jab to keep his Nepalese opponent at bay.

Rana attempted to pressure forward and fight on the inside, but Saburi’s superior movement kept him out of danger.

As the fight progressed, Saburi began opening up offensively. In the third round, he repeatedly backed Rana onto the ropes while landing heavy body shots and sharp hooks.

As both fighters prepared for the fourth and final round, Rana’s corner surprisingly decided to stop the contest. 

Saburi was awarded the stoppage victory and the first championship of his professional career, while the loss for Rana marks his first defeat inside the distance.

With another composed and dominant performance under his belt, Tanaka Saburi continues to establish himself as one of Western Australia’s most promising talents.

The action-packed card was held in front of a huge crowd at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, and was broadcast to millions of fans across the globe, with the very best fighters from around the world on display.

Some of the biggest names from the world of boxing were in attendance, including Roy Jones Jr, Michael Buffer, Regis Prograis, and new Probellum signings Pat and Luke McCormack, along with celebrities such as Abdu Rozik and Adam Saleh.

The main event saw Edwards put on a masterclass to defeat Mama, while the card also saw victories for the likes of Bakhodir Jalolov, Jono Carroll, Anthony de Bruijn plus many more. The full details and results can be found below.

MAIN CARD RESULTS:

IBF FLYWEIGHT TITLE

SUNNY EDWARDS def. JAYSON MAMA via unanimous decision after 12 rounds (117-110, 118-109, 118-109)

Sunny Edwards once again displayed his elite boxing skills as he defeated Jayson Mama to make the first defence of his IBF flyweight title.

Edwards (17-0, 4 knockouts) was a level above throughout the fight, even overcoming a nasty cut early into the contest that could have potentially caused an issue.

The 25-year-old ensured that wouldn't be the case though, dominating proceedings and putting the exclamation point on the performance by dropping Mama (16-1, 9 knockouts) in round 10.

Mama lasted the distance, but there was only one winner in the end, with all three judges scoring it heavily in the favour of Edwards, as he extended his unbeaten record in style.

"In the second round my right eye was completely covered in blood at one point, but I'm a warrior and came through it," said Edwards. Mama is a great fighter and a great contender, and I'm sure his time will come in the future.

"I came here to fight Mama, and I did that and prepared hard and trained diligently, but I want to be in the big fights now. I want the Ring Magazine and WBC belt. That was my mandatory, and now I want Julio Cesar Martinez. I'm coming!"

"To all of my fellow countrymen, thank you for supporting me," said Mama. I'm sorry I didn't get the win, I did my best but it wasn't enough. Sunny Edwards is a great champion and a talented boxer.

"He's smart and fast, but next time I will come back stronger. I promise you all I will go back to the Philippines and train hard for the next opportunity." 

WBO INTERNATIONAL SUPER-FLYWEIGHT TITLE

DONNIE NIETES split draw with NORBELTO JIMENEZ after 10 rounds (96-94 Nietes, 96-94 Jimenez, 95-95)

There was a controversial ending between Donnie Nietes and Norbelto Jimenez as the two men fought to a split draw after 10 rounds of action.

Four-weight world champion Nietes (43-1-6, 23 knockouts) and challenger Jimenez (30-9-6, 16 knockouts) both gave it their all in the contest, with each fighter getting the advantage over the other at various points in the contest.

After 10 hard-fought rounds, confusion struck as Jimenez thought it was a 12-round contest, but it was only scheduled for 10, and the fight headed to the scorecards.

The judges couldn't split the two men, with scores of 96-94 Nietes, 96-94 Jimenez, and 95-95 meaning the bout ended in a draw, with Nietes keeping hold of his belt in the process.

"I felt I controlled it from the first round, then in the seventh round he was running around the ring," said Nietes. "I noticed that he fights really dirty. I'm 39-years-old, and the key to this game is discipline.

"I was able to make it out of the last round as still the champion. It depends on the promoter if they want to schedule a rematch again."

"I feel all the crowd know that I should have been the winner," said Jimenez. "The fight was meant to be 12 rounds and they put it down two rounds because they don't trust their fighter. If Nietes wants to win a world title, then he has to face me again."

BAKHODIR JALOLOV def. JULIO CESAR CALIMENO via KO at 0:46 of R1

Heavyweight sensation Bakhodor Jalolov once again displayed his incredible knockout power as he wiped out Julio Cesar Calimeno inside the very first round.

Jalolov (9-0, 9 knockouts) was back in action for the first time since winning the gold medal in the super-heavyweight division at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics this summer, returning to the paid ranks to take on Calimeno (4-2, 4 knockouts).

He didn't waste any time though, landing a huge left hand that sent Calimeno to the canvas. He couldn't get up before the referee's count of 10, handing Uzbekistan hero Jalolov the superb victory.

"I am absolutely ready for the world heavyweight championship. It doesn't matter who will be the champion," said Jalolov. "It doesn't matter if it's Usyk, Joshua, Fury, anybody. I am ready. I will keep on winning, and keep on performing at my best."

JONO CARROLL def. AELIO MESQUITA via TKO at 2:27 of R2

Jono Carroll moved a step closer to another world title shot after picking up a second round stoppage win over Aelio Mesquita.

Carroll (21-2-1, 5 knockouts) started well, and dropped Mesquita (20-6-1, 18 knockouts) at the end of round one. It wasn't initially given as a knockdown, but the referee informed the judges to score it as one.

'King Kong' then continued to dominate, dropping the Brazilian several more times throughout round two, and after a constant onslaught, the referee waved it off and handed Carroll the impressive win.

"My hard work and dedication has paid off. I was never born with serious skill, I'm just tough and durable and have dedicated myself over the past few years," said Carroll. "Everything is coming together, my strength and patience has improved, and I'm working with world champions and it's going to be my time.

"I was cut three weeks ago and had eight stitches, but I don't care, it was just a flesh wound. I'm here for world titles so I don't care what I have to do. Those world titles will be mine soon.

"I knew my opponent would be strong so I planned on making him miss in the first few rounds. He has a lot more knockouts than I have, so I knew it would be dangerous. I took a few on the gloves and thought where was the power? So I knew I could walk through him.

"I walked straight in front of him and took what he has and got the knockout. This is the revolution and we are taking over."

ANTHONY DE BRUIJN def. DIEGO VALTIERRA via majority decision after 6 rounds (57-57, 58-56, 59-55)

Anthony de Bruijn was victorious after a back and forth battle with Diego Valiterra, coming out on top thanks to a six-round majority decision win.

The bout was serving as the float fight on the bill, and both men took full advantage of their opportunity to shine in front of a big stage, as de Bruijn (11-0-1, 6 knockouts) got the better of the early rounds.

Valtierra (6-5, 2 knockouts) came back into the fight as it progressed, having success of his own and making it an entertaining affair, but de Bruijn managed to see out the fight and deservedly got his hand raised.

"After the first couple of rounds I thought it would be easy, but then he came back strong towards the end of the fight," said de Bruijn. "I survived through the rounds, and it was nothing that I haven't faced before.

"I dealt with it and in the end we got the win. I kept boxing, and thought I could have stopped him at one point but it is what it is. I knew I would get the win, and thank you to everybody for coming."

UNDERCARD RESULTS:

WBC ASIAN FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE
HASIBULLAH AHMADI def. NADIR BALOCH via TKO at 2:43 of R4
