World champion Michaela Mayer retained her WBO welterweight title with a win over Sandy Ryan.
She defeated Sandy Ryan to become the WBO welterweight world champion in New York, and defended the belt in a rematch with Ryan in Las Vegas.
Mayer became world champion at super featherweight for the first time in 2022 when she lost the 130-pound IBF and WBO belts to Alycia Baumgardner in a controversial decision at London’s O2 Arena.
She also traveled to Liverpool to challenge Natasha Jonas for the IBF welterweight belt in 2024.
“I’m excited to join the most deserving promotion as we continue to break down barriers and elevate women’s boxing to new heights,” Meyer said.
“I’ve always wanted the biggest and best fights, and MVP’s roster of top women’s champions creates an incredible opportunity to make those matchups happen.
