The championship rematch between Oshae Jones and Elia Carranza headlines MVPW-04 on Saturday, June 13, at Caribe Royale Orlando in Orlando, Florida. The card airs live on ESPN+, featuring four world title fights. Tickets for the event are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
Unbeaten Jones (9-0, 3 KOs) – who signed with MVP in January – puts her IBF super welterweight title on the line, making the second defense of her belt. The Toledo, Ohio native won their first fight last July, defeating Miami’s Carranza (11-2, 3 KOs) by split decision. Carranza looks to take revenge in her second attempt to become a champion.
“As an Olympic medalist and current world champion, I’m beyond excited and truly honored for the opportunity to fight on ESPN and MVP, the biggest and best platform in women’s boxing,” Jones said. “This isn’t just another fight for me – it’s a moment to help elevate the sport, inspire the next generation, and create opportunities that will change countless lives.”
“I’m proud to be part of something that is pushing women’s boxing to new heights and making history.”
Carranza said, “I’m the best true 154-pounder in the world. That’s my weight class, and I’m going to prove it. I nearly won our first fight, and now I’m coming for her belt live on ESPN+ on Saturday, June 13.”
