Amanda Serrano making history in the first world championship fight streamed live on TikTok LIVE is exactly the kind of global moment MVP was built to create. We're also proud to showcase one of boxing's most explosive knockout artists in Avious Griffin, a high-stakes world title clash between Mayelli Flores and Melissa Mortensen, welcome the promotional debuts of three of Southern California's brightest young prospects in Lupita Medina, Roxy Verduzco, and Jocelyn Camarillo, and feature Olympians Jahmal Harvey and Nelvie Tiafack alongside Brazilian stars Jully Poca and Keno Marley. This is what the next chapter of MVP looks like- bigger stages, broader distribution, and unprecedented opportunities for athletes to become global stars.”

MVP’s Avious Griffin, boasting a staggering 94% stoppage rate, is a Las Vegas-based welterweight originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Introduced to boxing by his father, Alvin, the sport became both a passion and a powerful bond between them. In 2016, just weeks before Griffin’s professional debut, Alvin passed away unexpectedly, a devastating loss that Griffin continues to honor through his career. The following year brought another life-altering setback: a wrongful murder conviction that led to 11 months of incarceration before his exoneration. These hardships forged Griffin’s “TTD” (To The Death) mentality, an ethos that powers his performance in the ring and his commitment to breaking generational cycles of poverty, while advocating for mental health and addiction recovery. In February 2025, Griffin captured the vacant WBC USA welterweight title by knockout. He most recently earned a knockout win in March 2026.

“Twenty wins is more than just a number,” said Avious Griffin. “It’s proof of every sacrifice I’ve made. On Friday August 21, I’m coming for No. 20, and if history says anything, there’s a good chance I won’t need to leave it to the judges.”

Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic contender Jackson Marinez boasts a professional record of 23 wins, 4 defeats, with 11 KOs. His latest five wins each came by knockout. In December 2024, Marinez contested Lindolfo Delgado for the WBO Latino super lightweight title. Other notable bouts included contests against three-division champion Rolly Romero, and former IBF lightweight champion Richard Commey, among others. The 35-year-old’s most recent win came via first-round TKO against Angel Apolinar Elena Perez in November 2025.

Mayelli Flores is the former WBA super bantamweight world champion from Mexico City, Mexico. Standing at 4’11”, Flores turned professional in 2014 and has built a reputation for high pressure and punch volume inside the ring. After an early career highlighted a narrow world title challenge against Yulihan Luna, Flores defeated Nazarena Romero by split decision in Kissimmee, Florida, to capture the WBA 122lb crown in May 2025. In April 2026, Flores went on to compete for the undisputed title on MVPW-01 in London against then-unified champion Ellie Scotney. Known for her toughness, stamina, and willingness to trade in the pocket, the 33-year-old Flores represents Mexico with pride as she continues her rise among the sport’s elite.

Mayelli Flores said: “Mortensen is a strong, young, undefeated fighter, and I have a lot of respect for her. I know it’s going to be a tough fight, but I’m known for putting on exciting performances. I’ve had an excellent training camp, and I’m confident my hand will be raised at the end of the night. I’m grateful to MVP for giving me the opportunity to be part of the golden era of women’s boxing. Sharing the stage with the best fighters in the world is an honor. I’m ready to prove I belong here. Now it’s my time to deliver in the ring and show the boxing I’m truly capable of.”

Melissa Mortensen is a 24-year-old undefeated Danish professional boxer from Varde, Denmark. A standout amateur, Mortensen began boxing in 2014 and compiled a 115-bout amateur career, represented Denmark 43 times on the Danish National team, won six Danish national championships, three Nordic championships, and four prestigious Golden Girl titles, while competing in qualification tournaments for both the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Mortensen turned professional in October 2024 and has built an undefeated 9-0 record while capturing the EBU Silver Championship in December 2025. She is currently ranked #6 by the IBF, #7 by the WBA, #9 by the WBO, and #10 by the WBC.

"I'm proud that my 10th professional fight will be for the WBA world championship,” said Melissa Mortensen. “I'm not stepping into this fight just to win one world title—my goal is to collect all four major belts in the super bantamweight division and become the undisputed champion. I'm looking forward to facing Mayeli Flores. Stylistically, I believe it's a great matchup for me, and I can't wait to put on a great performance and bring the WBA world title home to Denmark."

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 very excited to be fighting under Amanda Serrano’s card with MVP. It’s an incredible opportunity to compete on such a big stage, especially with the event being streamed live on TikTok,” said Lupita Medina. “MVP is changing the landscape of women’s boxing by giving female fighters the platform and visibility we deserve while bringing the sport to an entirely new audience. Every fight is another step toward my ultimate goal, and Friday, August 21 is no different. I never overlook my opponent, and my team and I have prepared for every challenge. But I know what the vision is and that’s becoming a world champion. As the #1 WBO contender, I know I’m one step away from a world title shot, and I plan on making another statement. I expect to have my hand raised, continue taking over the 105 pound division, and keep proving why I’m one of the best.”

After becoming a first-generation college graduate and building a career at the Wall Street Journal, Brook discovered the sport through a fitness boxing class at 26 and fell for it immediately.

She compiled a 22-3 amateur record, won two USA Boxing National Championships, and represented El Salvador at the 2023 Central American Games.
