MVP announced that IBF and The Ring super middleweight world champion Savannah Marshall and WBC interim super lightweight world champion Chantelle Cameron have both signed with the promotion, with the organisation reiterating its desire to continue investing into global women’s boxing.
Marshall is a two-weight world champion having previously captured undisputed super middleweight gold in 2023, as well as the WBO middleweight title from 2020-2022.
She began her career as a 12-year-old as she became Britain’s first-ever female amateur world champion at the AIBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in 2012, defeating Claressa Shields en route to gold for what remains Shields’ only loss in competitive boxing.
Marshall represented Team GB at the London 2012 Olympic Games, then went on to capture Commonwealth Games gold two years later before competing in the Olympics in Rio in 2016.
Marshall turned professional in 2017 and has built a 13-1 (10 KOs) record that has seen her capture multiple world titles. Now she signs with MVP as the reigning IBF and The Ring super middleweight world champion as she enters a new chapter for her career. Marshall is also signed to the PFL as an MMA fighter, and won her mixed martial arts debut via first-round TKO.
“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,” said Marshall.
“Through Jake and Nakisa, 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, it only feels natural to be here, and I cannot wait to begin fighting under their banner.”
Marshall will be joined on the MVP roster by Cameron, who has already cemented her reputation as one of the top female 140-pound fighters on the planet. A former undisputed super lightweight world champion, Cameron currently holds the WBC interim super lightweight title and has plans on returning to the top of the division once again.
The 33-year-old started out in kickboxing as a youngster and switched to Muay Thai as a teen, claiming a string of titles in kickboxing disciplines through her formative years before turning her attention to boxing at 18.
Once she started, Cameron didn’t look back, as she medalled at the 2010 and 2011 European championships before she eventually turned pro in May 2017.
By the end of the same year, Cameron had already captured a world title, winnig the IBO lightweight world championship. She later added the IBF and The Ring belts to her collection before defeating Jessica McCaskill to capture the undisputed crown in November 2022.
Since then, Cameron has shared the ring twice with Irish great Katie Taylor, with each fighter taking a victory, and last year she captured the WBC interim super lightweight crown and will look to use that title to propel herself back to the full title in the near future.
“I’m very excited about this move. MVP has been nothing but encouraging in talks regarding myself and female boxing,” said Cameron.
“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. Now, alongside Ellie Scotney, MVP represents the most dominant roster of UK women’s athletes in boxing,” said Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions.
“Like 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.”
