(April 14th) The scheduled middleweight bout between Most Valuable Promotions undefeated Tamm Thibeault and Nadja Jesus Santos has been removed from the MVPW-02 card on Friday, April 17 at the Infosys Theater at MSG, live on ESPN, due to a visa delay for Jesus.

Most Valuable Promotions is working to schedule Thibeault's next fight and will announce further details in the coming weeks. Thibeault remains one of the most exciting contenders in the sport and will be back in the ring soon.

The 8-round flyweight matchup between MVP’s undefeated Nat “No Love” Dove and Maria Micheo will now open the main card.

The bout was removed due to a visa delay for Nadja Jesus (also known as Nadja Jesus Santos), who is from Brazil.

The fight was scheduled for MVPW-02 on Friday, April 17, 2026, at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, live on ESPN.

Tamm Thibeault (Canada): 4-0 (3 KOs), a two-time Olympian and current #1 contender across the IBF, WBC, and WBA at middleweight.

Nadja Jesus (Brazil): 5-0 (3 KOs), an undefeated prospect making her U.S. debut.

Tamm Thibeault vs Nadja Jesus Santos was booked as a 10-round middleweight (160 lbs) contest and was slated to be the second bout on the main ESPN broadcast.

Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) is actively working to reschedule Thibeault's next fight and expects to announce new details in the coming weeks. It remains unclear if Jesus will remain her opponent once the visa is resolved.

The 8-round flyweight matchup between MVP's undefeated Nat "No Love" Dove (7-0-1) and Maria Micheo (14-6) has been elevated from the prelims to open the main card.

The original opening main card bout—a bantamweight fight between Krystal Rosado (8-1) and Fernanda Reyes Delgado (8-0)—now moves into the second slot formerly occupied by Thibeault-Jesus.

This ground breaking card is historically significant as it features the first all-women's main card on ESPN, headlined by Alycia Baumgardner defending her three junior lightweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin. Thibeault, who has never needed more than five rounds to win in her four pro starts, was viewed as one of the most exciting rising contenders in the division.
