Most Valuable Promotions, a four-year-old company founded by Paul and business partner Nakisa Bidarian, promoted the event. Yokasta Valle's fight with Yadira Bustillos for the WBC strawweight championship was the first of four women's world title fights on the card."
"Caroline Dubois, the 24-year-old sister of British heavyweight Daniel Dubois, clinches with Camila Panatta during their lightweight title fight. A Kaseya Center security worker shows off his tattoo during Friday's fights. Paul's fights have come under criticism from boxing purists, but they have drawn newer and younger eyeballs to the sport. Dubois dropped Panatta with a check right hook near the end of the sixth round of their fight."
