(June 7th) Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) has signed undefeated 22-year-old Nicaraguan-American boxer, 5x Junior Olympics champion, and current #2 WBO and IBF contender Lupita Medina (12-0, 3 KOs). Medina becomes the latest signee to join MVP following the company’s launch of MVPW, the new year-round global home of women’s boxing, delivering fans the best fighters in the sport. Medina is the latest athlete of Nicaraguan heritage to join MVP following the company’s signings of Yokasta and Naomy Valle in 2025.

WBO and IBF No. 2 contender Lupita “Babyface Assassin” Medina is one of the brightest rising stars in women’s boxing. Medina began boxing in 2012 and quickly established herself as an elite amateur, capturing five Junior Olympic National Championships before turning professional in 2022. The ambidextrous fighter trains under Edgar Jasso, Manny Robles, and Matias Erbin at Legends Boxing Academy and resides in Maywood, California. Outside the ring, Medina is pursuing a degree at California State University, Long Beach, currently on educational leave as she focuses on her boxing career.

Inspired by her father, a former amateur boxer in Nicaragua, and her brother, who compiled a 9-0 professional record with eight knockouts before retiring due to injury, Medina is carrying forward a dream they both helped ignite while forging her own legacy. Growing up, she was often told she was “too girly” to box, but those doubts only strengthened her passion for the sport, teaching her to be feminine, confident, and a fierce competitor all at once. Proud of her Nicaraguan heritage, she is motivated by the opportunity to represent her people on the sport’s biggest stages and aims to become one of Nicaragua’s next boxing superstars while inspiring the next generation to dream big.

“I’m incredibly honored and grateful to join MVP. Being part of a promotion that is changing the game for women’s boxing and giving female athletes the platform they deserve is exactly where I want to be,” said Lupita Medina. “To be welcomed into a team that genuinely believes in investing in female fighters means a lot to me, and I’m looking forward to doing my part in helping women’s boxing continue to grow. As a proud Nicaraguan, every time I step into the ring I carry my country with me. Representing Nicaragua on the world stage has always been one of my biggest motivations and something I take great pride in. This is a huge step in my career, and I’m committed to continuing my journey toward becoming a world champion while making my mark as Nicaragua’s next superstar, with MVP by my side.”

“Lupita Medina is on the cusp of greatness as an undefeated 22-year-old talent, already ranked #2 in the world across two sanctioning bodies and representing the fighting spirit of Nicaragua every time she steps into the ring,” said Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions. “As MVP continues to expand its presence across Latin America and invest in the future of women’s boxing, we believe Lupita has all the tools to become Nicaragua’s next world champion. We look forward to her promotional debut soon as part of MVPW, the global home of women’s boxing.”
