NEW YORK, NY – March 7, 2025 – Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) announced today that 2x amateur national champion and rising bantamweight star Alexander “The Alley Cat” Gueche (7-0, 5 KOs) will be the latest standout boxing prospect to join MVP’s growing roster of world-class fighters. Gueche is MVP’s newest signee following the back-to-back signings of MVP’s lightweight sensation Lucas Bahdi in November 2024 and two-time Olympian and amateur world champion Tamm Thibeault in December 2024.
Gueche, an undefeated 19-year-old bantamweight fighter from Long Beach, California, has quickly proven himself to be a rising powerhouse in the sport. Gueche began boxing at age six and went on to a stellar amateur career that saw him win two amateur National titles and earn the #1 ranking in the 112-pound youth male division. Gueche’s rise has been unstoppable since his pro debut in August 2023, which he won by KO in the first 33 seconds of the bout. In his first years as a pro, Gueche has continued to establish himself as a rising contender, securing standout wins by technical knockout against Clayton Ward at MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects 4 in December 2023 and Osmar Rodriguez Gamez at Most Valuable Prospects 5 in February 2024. Most recently, Gueche earned a first-round knockout of Jonathan Almacen in June 2024 and maintained his perfect record yet again with an impressive unanimous decision victories over David Vargas Zamora in August 2024 and Lito Dante in January 2025. With his ability to combine pinpoint precision and knockout power, Gueche has solidified his place as one of boxing’s most exciting young talents. Now under the MVP banner, he will continue his development towards title contender status over the next few years.
Joining MVP is a huge milestone in my career, and I’m ready to use this platform to take the next step towards bigger challenges in the ring,” said Alexander Gueche. “With MVP standing behind me, I’m more determined than ever to step into the spotlight and earn my shot at a world title. I’d like to thank Jake and Nakisa for their support and belief in me as a fighter. I’d also like to thank my entire team, without whom I wouldn’t be where I am today. I have what it takes, and I’m ready to reach for greatness.”
“Alexander impressed us with his standout winning performances at Most Valuable Prospects in 2023 and 2024, and we’re excited to officially welcome him to the MVP family,” said Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions. “As a key member of Team H2O, we know Alexander has what it takes to step up against the best. Now with MVP, he will have both the platform and opportunity to build his legacy in the ring. Alexander possesses the passion and potential that can define the future of boxing, and we look forward to working with him to achieve that vision.”
Gueche joins MVP’s elite roster of superstar athletes and up-and-coming stars including international superstar Jake “El Gallo” Paul, boxing trailblazer and unified featherweight world champion Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano, prolific top boxing prospect H2O Sylve, MVP’s first homegrown champion, the new WBO Super Middleweight Champion Shadasia “The Sweet Terminator” Green, multi-talented megastar Javon “Wanna” Walton, India’s most successful professional boxer Neeraj Goyat, top-ranked lightweight “Prince” Lucas Bahdi, Puerto Rican sensation Krystal Rosado, three-time US national boxing champion and high-fashion model Alexis “Chop Chop” Chaparro, Puerto Rican National Team star Jan Paul Rivera, and two-time Canadian Olympian Tamm Thibeault.
Founded by Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, MVP aims to give athletes creative control, and aims to identify, grow, and maximize return for its talent partners and events. Together, Paul and Bidarian have architected Jake Paul’s meteoric rise in combat sports. In 2021, MVP signed one of the most decorated Hispanic athletes of all time, Amanda Serrano, who has since achieved historic milestones, including becoming Puerto Rico’s first-ever undisputed champion and competing in the first unified women’s championship fight contested over 12 three-minute rounds—the men’s championship standard—held in October 2023. Her previous historic clash against Katie Taylor at Madison Square Garden in 2022 earned recognition as Sports Illustrated’s Fight of the Year, The Ring’s Event of the Year, and was further nominated for Event of the Year by Sports Business Journal. The event marked a pivotal point in women’s sports history as the first time women have headlined a main event at the world-renowned venue in New York City.
MVP’s recent collaboration with Netflix broke records with the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson mega-event, which is now the most-streamed sporting event ever, peaking at 65 million concurrent streams globally, with 38 million in the U.S. The event drew an average minute audience (AMA) of 108 million live viewers globally, which grew to 125 million (Live+1) over the weekend. Co-headlining the historic card, Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 2 became the most-watched professional women’s sports event in U.S. history, with an AMA of 47 million viewers domestically and 74 million globally. The event also ranked as the #1 title on Netflix in 78 countries, including the U.S., UK, Brazil, and India, and trended as the #1 topic worldwide on X during the event. Joe Hand Promotions reported that over 1 million viewers watched from 6,000 bars and restaurants in the U.S., breaking commercial distribution records.
