Most Valuable Promotions, the company behind Netflix’s live boxing matches and co-founded by Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, is partnering with TikTok to live-stream the headline fight between unified featherweight champion Amanda Serrano (49-4-1, 32 KOs) and Argentina’s Lucrecia Manzur (14-4, 7 KOs) Aug. 21 at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif. The partnership marks another industry first for MVP, bringing boxing to TikTok’s 1.9 billion users worldwide. The social media video platform ranks as the fifth-most-popular social media network globally, and furthers MVP’s mission to expand the sport to the Gen Alpha and Gen Z demos. The fight showcases Serrano’s accolades as the most-decorated fighter in women’s boxing history. Already a seven-division champion, the first male or female Puerto Rican undisputed world champion, and the first woman to headline Madison Square Garden — in a losing cause against Ireland’s Katie Taylor live-streamed on Netflix. Serrano also became the first to defend her unified titles under equal rules to men’s champions and competed in the most-watched professional women’s sports match ever in the United States. In addition to Serrano, the event will feature MVP’s U.S. Olympian Jahmal Harvey (3-0, 2 KO) vs. Mexico’s Hammet Keb (7-2-1, 6 KOs) in a six-round lightweight bout at 135 pounds and MVP’s undefeated Brazilian boxer and influencer Jully Poca (1-0), the most-followed active female boxer in the world, vs. Arlington, Texas prospect Cinderella Linnear (1-0) in a four-round super lightweight bout at 140 pounds. Also on the card will be MVP’s undefeated contender Roxy Verduzco (7-0, 1 KO) vs. Miguelina Hernandez (4-0, 3 KOs) in an eight-round featherweight bout, MVP’s Olympic bronze medalist, European champion, and five-time German national champion Nelvie Tiafack (4-0, 3 KOs) vs. Mexico’s Salvador Zavala (7-0, 5 KOs) in a six-round heavyweight bout, and MVP’s and Indio, Calif.’s Jocelyn Camarillo (6-0, 1 KO) vs. Mexico’s Ashley Felix (7-4, 1 KO) in a six-round minimum weight bout at 105 pounds. “Women’s boxing deserves to be seen by as many people around the world as possible, and this partnership gives us the chance to introduce our sport to a massive global audience in a completely new way,” said Serrano. “We’re excited to bring the first championship boxing event to TikTok,” added Shen Gao, head of live operations for the Americas at TikTok.
