Most Valuable Promotions will roll into Caribe Royale Orlando on August 23 with a Puerto Rican sparkplug in the spotlight and a pair of high-stakes bouts in tow. Newly signed flyweight sensation Yankiel “El Jordan” Rivera (7-0, 3 KOs) meets Venezuela’s battle-hardened Angelino Cordova (19-0-1, 12 KOs) for the interim WBA 112-lb title in just the eighth pro outing of Rivera’s post-Olympic rise. The winner becomes mandatory to unified WBC/WBA champion Kenshiro Teraji, adding genuine world-title consequence to Rivera’s MVP debut.

Rivera, 27, has sprinted through ten-rounders since his fifth fight and now faces a man who arguably beat Julio César Martínez before a failed drug test turned the verdict into a no-contest. Cordova’s blend of experience and ambition makes this Rivera’s toughest test—and the fourth unbeaten foe he has tackled in his last five starts.
MVP co-founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian hail the DAZN-streamed card as proof of their “continued commitment to emerging global talent.” For Rivera, it’s a fast-lane chance to tattoo his name on the flyweight map; for Cordova, a route to reclaim momentum lost after the Martínez saga. Orlando’s summer heat just found a new thermometer.
