Two days after Most Valuable Promotions announced the signing of Canadian attraction Kim Clavel, the promoters have put the former junior-flyweight titleholder in a big fight on a favorable stage.

MVP announced on Thursday that Clavel would headline in a challenge of strawweight belt holder Sol Cudosit at Most Valuable Prospects 15 Championship Edition on September 27 at Theatre St-Denis in Montreal, Canada.

Clavel, a 34-year-old Montreal-area native, is a former amateur star known as well for her work outside the ring as that inside it. Clavel, 21-2 (3 KOs) as a professional, won the Pat Tillman Award at the 2020 ESPY Awards for her service as a nurse during the pandemic and later appeared on Quebec’s Big Brother Celebrites.

She most recently toppled Anabel Ortiz in a 10-rounder at the Montreal Casino, where she featured in each of her past four fights – and for much of her pro career. She welcomes the spotlight in another hometown venue, as well as the backing of MVP, the Jake Paul-led fight promotional organization increasingly becoming known as a hot spot for women’s boxing.

“To headline my 10th main event, this time with MVP in an iconic venue like Theatre St-Denis in Montreal, is an honor and a motivation like no other,” Clavel said. “Being the headliner for MVP’s first event in Quebec makes this moment even more special. Under the spotlight, I don’t feel pressure – I feel power. I want all of Montreal to come out and show MVP why we are the best city to host big events.”

Cudos, 10-0-2 (3 KOs), a 28 year old from Buenos Aires, Argentina, is coming off a 10-round split decision win over fellow Argentinian Maria Sol Baumstarh in April, in which she scooped an interim minimumweight belt.

In the co-main event, former two-time Canadian Olympian and the middleweight contender Tamm Thibeault, 3-0 (2 KOs), will make her professional debut in her native Quebec.

"Quebec has always been close to my heart, and stepping into the ring here as a pro is nothing less than special,” she said. “I carry so much pride representing not only Team Canada but also my home province, and I want to give the fans a performance that reflects all the hard work and sacrifices that brought me here.”

Montreal’s Mazlum Akdeniz, 21-0 (8 KOs), a junior welterweight southpaw, will also appear on the DAZN-streamed main card.

In the prelims, Javon “Wanna” Walton, 2-0-1 (1 KO); recent MVP signee and Ontario native Amanda Galle, 11-0-1 (1 KO); Costa Rica’s Naomy Valle, 14-0 (9 KOs); Montreal junior middleweight Omar Alieh, 2-0 (2 KOs); and Quebecois junior welterweight Loick Lahaie, 2-0, will each appear in separate bouts.
