Brazilian Olympians and Top Prospects Take Center Stage Live on DAZN

ORLANDO, FL – Fight fans will want to mark their calendars for Saturday, June 7, as Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) brings back its Championship Edition of the Most Valuable Prospects series for its 13th installment at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida. Live globally on DAZN, Most Valuable Prospects 13 will be headlined by a high-stakes IBF women’s lightweight world title clash between Brazil’s undefeated champion Beatriz “The Beast” Ferreira (6-0, 2 KOs) and Argentina’s dangerous challenger María Inés “Dinamita” Ferreyra (11-0-1, 6 KOs).

Ferreira, a three-time Olympian and 2019 AIBA World Champion, will look to continue her impressive run since turning professional in 2022. Her aggressive, high-volume style and elite amateur pedigree have made her one of the most compelling rising stars in women’s boxing. This will mark her second world title defense since capturing the vacant IBF belt with a dominant win over Yanina Lescano in 2024.

“I am expecting a very tough challenge from my opponent,” Ferreira said. “These are the type of fights I want. It’s exciting times for women’s boxing and I want to be part of the biggest nights.”

Standing across from her will be Ferreyra, an undefeated Argentine fighter and South American lightweight champion who has earned a reputation for explosive finishes. Her knockout of Johen Paola Gonzalez to claim the regional title last year was a statement, and she followed it up with a strong decision win in her latest bout. Now, she aims to upset the odds and capture her first world title.

The card also features the professional debut of MVP’s newest signee, 2x Brazilian Olympian Keno Marley, in the co-main event. The 24-year-old cruiserweight standout—an amateur world medalist and 2018 Youth Olympic champion—will meet undefeated Texan Sean Sparks (2-0, 2 KOs) in a four-round showdown. Sparks, coming off two dominant knockout wins, promises to provide a stiff test for Marley’s first pro outing.

“I’m doing exactly what I wanted, where I wanted, and when I wanted,” said Marley. “It feels surreal. June 7 can’t get here soon enough.”

Adding more Brazilian star power to the card, national lightweight champion Luan Medeiros (5-0, 4 KOs) will take on Crescent City, Florida’s Tony Aguilar (13-1-1, 4 KOs) in an eight-round main card bout. Medeiros brings deep amateur experience and serious finishing ability, while Aguilar is no stranger to MVP cards and represents a significant step-up for the Brazilian.

“This event celebrates the tremendous talent and achievements of Brazilian boxing,” said MVP co-founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian. “From Ferreira defending her world title to Keno Marley’s pro debut, it’s a showcase of what’s next in the sport.”

Hosted by Caribe Royale Resort and promoted in partnership with Boxlab Promotions, Most Valuable Prospects 13 continues MVP’s mission to spotlight elite up-and-coming talent—especially in women’s boxing—on the global stage. With support from sponsors like CELSIUS Live Fit and distribution via DAZN, the event promises an electric night of action for fans in Central Florida and worldwide.
