Oshae Jones retained her IBF and IBO super welterweight titles in a hard-fought split draw with Elia Carranza at MVPW 04, according to Most Valuable Promotions. The event took place on June 24, 2026, at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida.[3]
What happened
Jones and Carranza faced off in a closely-contested rematch that ended in a split draw with scores of 96-94, 94-96, and 95-95. Jones utilized an effective jab and busy combinations throughout the 10 rounds, while Carranza applied constant pressure, making the match extremely close. “The result settles nothing between the two,” the report noted, as Jones had narrowly defeated Carranza in their previous encounter last July.[2]
The evening also featured Tiara Brown successfully defending her WBC featherweight title against Hannah Rapp. Brown outworked the previously unbeaten Rapp, winning by unanimous decision with scores of 97-93 and 99-91 twice.

Background
The rematch between Jones and Carranza was eagerly anticipated following their first fight on July 15, 2025, where Jones emerged victorious by a split decision. That match set the stage for the tension and rivalry leading up to MVPW 04.[1]
