Mizuki Hiruta
Japanese boxing sensation Mizuki Hiruta just found a massive new home. The undefeated WBO and Ring super flyweight champion (11-0, 2 KOs) has officially signed with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). For a company already dominating the conversation in women’s boxing, adding one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet is a major statement. For fight fans, it means the reigning champ is about to get the global spotlight she deserves.
From the Self-Defense Forces to Boxing Royalty
Hiruta didn’t take a traditional route to championship gold. Before turning pro in 2021, “Mimi” sharpened her discipline as an elite athlete in the Japan Self-Defense Forces. Once she traded her uniform for pro gloves, she wasted zero time. She grabbed the WBO world title in just her fourth professional bout. Then came her first defense, where the high-volume southpaw needed just 63 seconds to put her opponent away—still one of the fastest world title stoppages ever recorded in Japan.
A Dominant Run for Mizuki Hiruta
Since that early knockout, Mizuki Hiruta has only gotten sharper. Moving her training camp to Southern California to work with veteran coach Manny Robles unlocked another level in her game. She defended her belt four times in 2025 alone, a tear that easily locked up The Ring’s Female Fighter of the Year honors. In May 2026, she even took her show on the road to Egypt, outpointing her challenger beneath the Pyramids of Giza. With seven straight title defenses and four consecutive Japan Female Fighter of the Year awards in her bag, she’s running out of things to prove on the regional level.
Jake Paul and MVP Expand Their Global Roster
That’s where Most Valuable Promotions steps in. Co-founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian aren’t just looking at her undefeated record; they are betting on her personality. Both founders pointed out that while her ring work is exceptional, her charisma and authenticity outside the ropes give her genuine crossover appeal. MVP plans to put their full promotional weight behind Mizuki Hiruta, with their sights already set on bringing a future live event directly to Japan.
Chasing Superstar Dreams With MVP
If you ask Mizuki Hiruta how she feels about the move to Most Valuable Promotions, her energy jumps right off the page. Having spent years training in California, she’s picked up plenty of flair along the way, promising to turn her gratitude into strength while keeping a smile on her face for her supporters.
“I want to be a one-of-a-kind SUPERSTAR! I want to be a CHINGONA! No pasa nada!”
What Comes Next for the Super Flyweight Champion
Signing with Most Valuable Promotions immediately plugs Mizuki Hiruta into a massive distribution machine. With nearly 400 athletes on the roster and broadcast deals spanning Netflix, ESPN, and Sky Sports across 170 countries, her reach in the U.S. and back home in Japan is about to skyrocket. MVP hasn’t dropped the date, venue, or opponent for her promotional debut just yet, though an announcement is right around the corner.
