Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) has announced that Yoenis Tellez, Jamaine Ortiz, and world titlists Stephanie Han and Jasmine Artiga will be among the boxers featured on MVP Fight Night on August 23 at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida.
MVP had previously confirmed that the card will be headlined by a WBA interim flyweight title fight between Yankiel Rivera, 7-0 (3 KOs), and Angelino Cordova, 19-0-1 (12 KOs). The card will be the second leg of back-to-back fight nights at the venue, with Most Valuable Prospects 14 taking place on August 22.
“Our biggest MVP fight card not featuring Jake Paul or Amanda Serrano is happening Saturday, August 23 in Orlando, live on DAZN,” said Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions. “Yankiel Rivera, Yoenis Tellez, Jamaine Ortiz, Stephanie Han and Jasmine Artiga on one card, all in tough matchups, is going to be non-stop action all night.”
Tellez, 10-0 (7 KOs), most recently defeated Julian Williams on the undercard of Gervonta Davis vs. Lamont Roach in March 2025. The WBA interim junior middleweight beltholder will put his undefeated record on the line against the WBA’s #1 ranked 154 pound contender and European champion Abass Baraou, 16-1 (9 KOs).
Ortiz, 19-2-1 (9 KOs), whose only losses have come against Vasiliy Lomachenko and Teofimo Ortiz, meets fellow former title challenger Steve Claggett, 39-8-2 (27 KOs), over 10 rounds in the 140-pound division.
Accompanying the abovementioned matchups are two major title fights.
Stephanie Han, 10-0 (3 KOs) will defend her WBA lightweight title against Paulina Angel, 7-1-2 (3 KOs) in her first fight since signing with MVP in June.
Also on the show, recently crowned WBA junior bantamweight title holder Jasmine Artiga, 13-0-1 (6 KOs), risks her belt for the first time against Linn Sandstrom, 10-3-3 (2 KOs).
