Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) has announced the signing of former two-time amateur national champion and undefeated bantamweight prospect Alexander “The Alley Cat” Gueche.
The announcement is the latest in a busy spell for the Nakisa Bidarian/Jake Paul-helmed company, following the signings of Lucas Bahdi and Tamm Thibeault in November and December, respectively; Amanda Serrano signing a lifetime contract with the company on Tuesday; and Thursday's announcement that Serrano will face Katie Taylor for a third time at Madison Square Garden on July 11.
Gueche, 7-0 (5 KOs), a 19-year-old from Long Beach, California, began boxing at age six and turned professional in 2023 with a 33-second knockout of Steveen Angeles Cruz in August 2023. Gueche stopped Clayton Ward at MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects 4 in December 2023 and Osmar Rodriguez Gamez at Most Valuable Prospects 5 in February 2024.
He most recently outpointed Lito Dande in January.
“Joining MVP is a huge milestone in my career, and I’m ready to use this platform to take the next step towards bigger challenges in the ring,” said Gueche. “With MVP standing behind me, I’m more determined than ever to step into the spotlight and earn my shot at a world title. I’d like to thank Jake and Nakisa for their support and belief in me as a fighter. I’d also like to thank my entire team, without whom I wouldn’t be where I am today. I have what it takes and I’m ready to reach for greatness.”
“Alexander impressed us with his standout winning performances at Most Valuable Prospects in 2023 and 2024, and we’re excited to officially welcome him to the MVP family,” said Paul and Bidarian in a statement. “Now with MVP, he will have both the platform and opportunity to build his legacy in the ring. Alexander possesses the passion and potential that can define the future of boxing, and we look forward to working with him to achieve that vision.”
