Terri Harper joins Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions

by

Three-weight world champion Terri Harper has signed with Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions.

Harper (16-2-2, 6 KOs) is the reigning WBO lightweight champion, having also collected titles at junior middleweight and junior lightweight.

MVP CEO Nakisa Bidarian announced the move on Sky Sports on Wednesday.

“I’m super excited to announce we have signed Terri Harper. Terri the first three division female world champion from the UK. She has fought in five different divisions, 20 fights into her career,” Bidarian said.

“When I look at when we met Amanda [Serrano], a seven division champion, 42 fights into her career and we skyrocketed her profile, her potential and what she was able to achieve. I look at Terri as having the same ingredients.

“Phenomenal story, like Amanda, not a ton of amateur experience. She’s shown that she can be a champion at different weight classes. We think the future is very bright for her.”

The 28-year-old won her first world title in 2020, claiming the WBC junior lightweight belt with a points win over Eva Wahlström.

Harper went on to take big fights against Alycia Baumgardner and Sandy Ryan, losing both by knockout, before coming back to win the WBO lightweight title with a win over Rhiannon Dixon in September 2024.

Harper, who was signed with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, joins a growing list of top female fighters from the UK to join MVP.

Chantelle Cameron, Savannah Marshall and Ellie Scotney have all joined the promotion in recent times.
