Ellie Scotney and Shuretta Metcalf are among the new additions to both Most Valuable Promotions and the July 11th Taylor vs Serrano 3 card
Most Valuable Promotions beefed up its roster today with the addition of unified super bantamweight champion Ellie Scotney, IBF bantamweight champion Shuretta Metcalf, interim WBA featherweight champion Jennifer Miranda, and featherweight Elizabeth Oshoba.
Scotney (10-0, 0 KO), who owns the IBF and WBO titles at 122, will look to add to her trophy case against WBC champ Yamileth Mercado (24-3, 5 KO) on the July 11th Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano 3 undercard. Mercado is BoxRec’s no. 1 at the weight, undefeated since a 2021 decision loss to Amanda Serrano and boasting a decision over Ramla Ali last June.
Metcalf (14-4-1, 2 KO) battles promotional veteran Dina Thorslund (23-0, 9 KO), owner of the WBC and WBO titles, while Miranda (12-0, 1 KO) faces Alycia Baumgardner in a bout first revealed last week.
Middleweight Tamm Thibeault (2-0, 1 KO) also faces Mary Casamassa (6-0, 1 KO) over eight three-minute rounds.
