The Most Valuable Promotions’ MVProspects series culminates its year-end event on December 15, with a lineup of emerging talents and an experienced broadcast team. The event, streaming on DAZN from Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida, features the Jake Paul-Andre August cruiserweight fight as the main attraction.
Highlighting the undercard, Cuban junior middleweight Yoenis Tellez (6-0, 5 KOs), now based in Texas, faces Miami’s Livan Navarro (15-1, 9 KOs) in a ten-round regional title bout. Also, Lorenzo Medina (8-0, 7 KOs), a 19-year-old heavyweight from Miami, looks to maintain his perfect record in the series against Joshua Temple (12-2, 10 KOs) in a six-round heavyweight bout.
The event will also host a significant title fight where Shadasia Green (13-0, 12 KOs) and former super middleweight champion Franchon Crews-Dezurn (8-2, 2 KOs) compete for the vacant WBC 168-pound title. MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian expressed pride in the series for showcasing young talents and is excited about the upcoming lineup.
The broadcast team for the show includes Wade Plemons, Dan Cannobio, Ariel Helwani, and DAZN’s Todd Grisham. Medina, set for his fifth fight of 2023, faces Temple, who boasts a five-fight winning streak with four knockouts. Tellez aims to continue his ascent in the junior middleweight division, building on his notable victory over Sergio Garcia.
The undercard also features four preliminary bouts, including cruiserweight and featherweight fights with prospects like Zachary Randolph, Elijah Flores, Alex Gueche, and Xavier Bocanegra, all set to showcase their skills. MVP is set to continue its promotion of young, rising athletes in 2024, aiming to bring more exciting matches to boxing fans worldwide.
