Desley Robinson, the IBF and WBO middleweight champion, will defend her titles against Canadian Olympian Tamm Thibeault on August 8 at Caribe Royale in Orlando. The bout will air live on Sky Sports as the co‑main event of MVPW-05. Both fighters bring a blend of amateur pedigree and rapid professional rise.

Thibeault, a two‑time Olympian and gold medalist at the 2022 Amateur World Championship, 2022 Commonwealth Games and 2023 Pan Am Games, remains unbeaten in four pro fights, ending last September with a first‑round TKO over Christina Mazzotta. She credits Sheffield’s boxing culture for sharpening her game and eyes unified glory.

Robinson, 38, calls the matchup the best fight in the middleweight division, noting her readiness for a seasoned opponent. MVP co‑founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian highlight the bout as a rare pairing of a unified champion with a rising Olympian, underscoring its weight in women’s boxing history.

The card also features Cherneka Johnson defending her undisputed bantamweight titles against Dina Thorslund, and a super‑flyweight clash between Shurretta Metcalf and Amanda Galle. With three elite bouts, MVPW-05 delivers a high‑stakes night that could reshape title landscapes and cement MVP’s role as a premier women’s boxing platform.
