Netflix Sets Co-Main Event for Next Live Boxing Special: Baumgardner vs. Miranda-May 2024
May 12, 2025 4:43 PM

Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions have set a co-main event for their next global live boxing special: MVP reigning undisputed super featherweight champion Alycia The Bomb Baumgardner vs. undefeated WBA Interim world champion Jennifer Miranda.

Baumgardner and Miranda will join Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano as the co-main event for the Netflix special, which will stream live globally July 11 from New Yorks Madison Square Garden. The special will be the first time in MSGs history that the entire card is comprised of female boxers. The boxing event will be a significant test of Netflixs live event strategy. Last years inaugural boxing match with MVP was headlines by Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, a gimmick that delivered what Netflix said was 108 million viewers. Taylor vs. Serrano was the undercard, and drew some 74 million viewers.

Their rematch, however, will be the main event, in a test of the interest in global boxing without a Paul-Tyson hook.

Alycia Baumgardner now has the stage to show the world why she is The Most Valuable fighter in the sport,said Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions, in a statement. But Jennifer Miranda is another world-class athlete who has been waiting for the opportunity to demonstrate why she is one of the best in boxing. This is a world-class matchup between two elite athletes, and were thrilled to showcase it as the co-main event of this historic night. The future of womens boxing is now, and MVP is proud to lead the charge in taking the sport to unprecedented heights. A huge thank you to Netflix and Madison Square Garden for sharing our vision and helping make this moment possible.

I came to MVP for moments like thishigh stakes, global stage, and the chance to show the world who I really am,added Baumgardner.Amanda and Katie have done incredible things for womens boxing, and its an honor to share the card with them. But I didnt come to stand beside greatnessI came to be it. This night, this spotlightits mine. Jennifer Miranda, I hope youre readybecause Im the one they warn you about. The pretty face with bad intentions. When that bell rings, its not personal, but it is going to hurt. My belts are staying with me. And still.

MVP is leading the charge in elevating womens boxing, and I am grateful to be a part of this historic all-womens event in one of the most iconic arenas in the worldMadison Square Garden,added Miranda.Alycia Baumgardner is an incredible champion, but this is my opportunity to become the first ever undisputed champion from Spain and I will do so. Its time to write my name in the history books of boxing. Undisputed.
