MVP Signs Undefeated Knockout Artist Albina Moldazhanova

ARLINGTON, Texas — Most Valuable Promotions has signed Albina "The Lion" Moldazhanova. The promotion announced the deal on Nov. 9, one day after she stopped Kirstie Bavington in the fourth round on the MVPW 07 main card at College Park Center, live on ESPN.

MVP's signing release and its official X post both list Moldazhanova at 6-0 with six knockouts. The 25-year-old Russian, from Demyanka in Siberia, fights at 140 pounds.

MVP says she stopped Bavington at 0:44 of round four — the same result reported in the promotion's fight report and confirmed independently by NY Fights. That finish opened the ESPN main card before Alycia Baumgardner took the IBF lightweight title later that night.

Amateur credits (per MVP): Russian Youth, Russian national and European Youth titles; a silver medal at the European Championships; and a 2025 World Championships medal. MVP's pre-fight write-up also lists her amateur record as 14-4 with a 2025 IBA Women's World Championships appearance. Those details come from the promoter.

Attributed: NY Fights reports that Moldazhanova is the first woman signed by manager Egis Klimas, whose past clients include Sergey Kovalev, Vasiliy Lomachenko and Oleksandr Usyk. That Klimas detail is from NY Fights, not from MVP's release. After the Bavington fight, she also named Terri Harper as a target — covered in our post-fight presser roundup.

In the signing release, founders Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul called her "a special talent with the kind of explosive power that can change a fight in an instant," citing six fights and six knockouts and pointing to the 140-pound division. Moldazhanova said she wants to become undisputed world champion and thanked MVP and SmartLab Boxing Promotions.

Kimster's take: six-and-oh with a finish every night is a clean résumé line. Signing her the morning after the stoppage is the expected next step. Harper talk is a callout, not a contract — keep the distinction clear until someone puts a date on it.
