Jake Paul signs two British world champions to bumper deals in massive boost to growing roster
Jake Paul has signed Chantelle Cameron and Savannah Marshall to Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). The British boxing stars join undisputed super featherweight queen Alycia Baumgardner, future first Ballot Hall of Famer Amanda Serrano and fellow countrywomen Ellie Scotney and Ramla Ali at MVP in a move that further cements the company’s position as a powerhouse of women’s boxing. Cameron is the only woman to have beaten TaylorMark Robinson/Matchroom Cameron (20-1) is a former undisputed super lightweight world champion and is the No. 3-ranked female fighter on the globe. She unified the 140lbs division by overcoming Jessica McCaskill in 2022 and defended all four belts by handing Katie Taylor the first, and to date only, defeat of her professional career one year later. Taylor avenged her loss in the rematch, albeit controversially, and they are now poised for a rubber match, with Cameron currently lying in wait as the Irish woman’s WBC mandatory. She will be keeping a close eye on Taylor and Serrano’s trilogy bout on July 11 at Madison Square Garden, and her switch to MVP puts her in an even stronger position to fight the winner. “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.” Marshall (13-2) is a former two-weight world champion at middleweight and super middleweight. She knocked out Hannah Rankin to become WBO middleweight champion in 2020 before fierce rival Claressa Shields snatched the pink and gold strap from her two years later. The 33-year-old rebounded to become the undisputed super middleweight champion in 2023 by beating Franchon Crews-Dezurn. Marshall is a former undisputed super middleweight championGetty However, she was forced to relinquish all but her IBF strap in the preceding months due to inactivity. She made her professional MMA debut with PFL last year, winning via first-round TKO. But the Hartlepool puncher is now fully focused on boxing again under the MVP banner. “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. Paul continues to sign world class female boxing talentGetty “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.” MVP co-founders Paul and Nakisa Bidarian added of the double signing: “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. “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.”
