Desley Robinson vs Tamm Thibeault: Unified world title fight added to MVPW-05 headlined by Cherneka Johnson against Dina Thorslund

Sheffield-based star Tamm Thibeault will face Desley Robinson in an unified world title clash in August, live on Your Site.

Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) confirmed that unified IBF and WBO middleweight world champion Robinson will make her next 10-round title defence against Canada's Thibeault as the co-main event of MVPW-05 on Saturday August 8 at Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida.

The event is headlined by Cherneka Johnson's defence of her undisputed bantamweight world titles against Dina Thorslund.

Thibeault, who is Canadian but lives in Sheffield, is a two-time Olympian and has earned gold medals at the 2022 Amateur World Championship, the 2022 Commonwealth Games and the 2023 Pan Am Games.

Unbeaten in four professional fights, she most recently defeated Italy's Christina Mazzotta by first-round technical knockout last September.

Thibeault said: "Saturday August 8 can't come soon enough. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, and after a few years training in Sheffield at Steel City Gym, I feel more ready than ever.

"Sheffield is one of the great boxing cities in the world, and being surrounded by that culture every day has elevated every part of my game.

"I'm grateful to MVP for giving me this opportunity in just my fifth professional fight to show exactly what I'm capable of and become a unified world champion, live on Your Site.

"I'm preparing mentally and physically for a tough, experienced opponent, someone who knows what championship boxing looks like. This is not an opportunity I will let slip away."

Robinson, 38, declared that "this is the best fight to make in the middleweight division".

"This is the fight I've been waiting for, the best vs the best," she added.

"I know Tamm Thibeault is a great boxer and I'll be ready for her come Saturday August 8."

Also on the main card, MVP's top contenders Shurretta Metcalf and Amanda Galle will face off in an eight-round super flyweight battle at 115lbs.

Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions, said: "Desley Robinson vs Tamm Thibeault is one of the most compelling championship fights that can be made anywhere in the sport today, matching a unified world champion with a two-time Olympian and amateur world champion who has accomplished something almost unheard of by rising to become the number one contender across multiple sanctioning bodies from just four professional fights.

"This is a true best-versus-best match-up between two world-class athletes in their prime.

"Shurretta Metcalf and Amanda Galle are both coming off challenges for the undisputed bantamweight championship and looking to prove they deserve another shot at a title, this time at 115lbs, adding another high-stakes match-up to the card.

"Combined with Cherneka Johnson vs Dina Thorslund in the main event, MVPW-05 delivers three elite fights with major championship stakes and implications.

"MVP is continuing to build the premier home for the biggest fights in women's boxing, live on Your Site on Saturday, August 8."
