Britons Savannah Marshall and Chantelle Cameron have signed promotional agreements with Most Valuable Promotions.
The 33-year-old Marshall had expected to feature on the undercard of the Boxxer promotion of Lauren Price’s unification welterweight title victory over her fellow Briton Natasha Jonas in March, but hasn’t fought since a majority decision victory at super middleweight over Franchon Crews Dezurn in July 2023.
Cameron, 32, has long sought a decisive third fight with Katie Taylor after inflicting her first defeat and suffering her first defeat in their rematch. She most recently fought in November when outpointing Patricia Berghult of Sweden; Ireland’s Taylor, incidentally, fights Amanda Serrano for a third time on July 11, on an MVP promotion.
“I’m delighted to say I’m now part of MVP who, more than any other promoter, recognise the value that women bring to this sport,” Marshall said. “Through Jake [Paul] and Nakisa [Bidarian], they also have a very unique, refreshing approach to the fight game. They think out of the box. They’re different. And boxing overall benefits from such trailblazers.
“It’s an exciting time to join their team alongside so many other accomplished female fighters. As a two-weight world champion and previously achieving undisputed [champion’s status], it only feels natural to be here, and I cannot wait to begin fighting under their banner.”
Cameron had fought under Queensberry Promotions after previously being associated with Matchroom. She joins at MVP Ellie Scotney, also of Britain, who recently left Matchroom.
“I’m very excited about this move,” Cameron said. “MVP has been nothing but encouraging in talks regarding myself and female boxing. This is a fantastic opportunity for the next stage of my career and an unbelievable platform to showcase my boxing ability. I’d like to thank Nakisa Bidarian, Jake Paul, and the whole MVP team for making this whole transition very easy for me.”
“Savannah Marshall and Chantelle Cameron are world-class athletes who represent the best of women’s boxing and the proud tradition of UK champions,” read a statement released on behalf of Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, the co-founders of MVP.
“Like [fellow MVP promoted-fighters] Amanda Serrano and Alycia Baumgardner, Savannah and Chantelle have reached the pinnacle of the sport by becoming undisputed champions – giving them the experience, perspective, and platform to lead the next generation. We look forward to announcing their MVP debuts in the coming weeks.”
