Jahmal Harvey Signs with Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions

American Olympic boxer Jahmal Harvey has formalized his agreement with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), the promoter led by Jake Paul, according to recent reports. Harvey, 22, is considered one of the most outstanding American amateur boxers. His impressive career includes ten United States national titles and his participation in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. With this addition, MVP adds another promising talent to its team, joining other talents such as Canadian Olympian and amateur world champion Tamm Thibeault, 19-time US national champion Sa’Rai Brown-El, Brazilian Olympian Keno Marley, 15-time US national champion Nat “No Love” Dove, and two-time US national champion Alex Gueche.

We believe Jahmal Harvey has the potential to become one of the most important faces in boxing, both inside and outside the ring.

Bidarian revealed that Harvey has been on Most Valuable Promotions’ radar since December 2023, thanks to Paul’s collaboration with the United States boxing team. “Jahmal was our main target after the Olympics and, knowing that he was ready to turn professional, we focused on closing the deal,” he added.

Originally from Oxon Hill, Maryland, Harvey will make his professional debut on August 22 in a six-round super featherweight bout against Peruvian Marcelo Del Aguila (5-1, 1 KO) at the Most Valuable Prospects 14 event, which will take place at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida.

When I went to Colorado Springs with the US team before the Paris Olympics, I was able to meet Jahmal and the rest of the team while training with them and providing them with mental toughness techniques. Even among the best amateur talents in the United States, Jahmal immediately struck me as the complete package, with the potential to become a future world champion and a great MVP star. It’s an honor to welcome him to the team, and I can’t wait to see him put the super featherweight division on notice starting Friday, August 22nd.

In 2021, Harvey made history by becoming the first American gold medalist at the IBA World Boxing Championships since Demetrius Andrade in 2007. He advanced to the quarterfinals as a featherweight, but failed to medal after losing to Munarbek Seitbek Uulu of Kyrgyzstan. According to Boxrec, Harvey finished his amateur stage with a record of 61-8.

I am signing with Most Valuable Promotions because I believe it is the best option for me to become the MVP of the sport. Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian are changing the game and putting athletes on the biggest stages, and I am excited to be a part of it.
