Lightweight world champion Terri Harper has signed with Most Valuable Promotions.

The three-weight world champion is the latest female fighter to sign with Jake Paul's promotional company, following fellow Britons Chantelle Cameron, Ellie Scotney and Savannah Marshall.

Scotney and Marshall made their promotional debuts this month on the undercard of Katie Taylor v Amanda Serrano 3 at Madison Square Garden, which was broadcast on Netflix.

"I am excited to join the movement of women's boxing at MVP," Harper said.

Harper, 28, ends a long-term association with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom.

Her most recent outing was a points win against Natalie Zimmerman in Doncaster in May.

Harper has also won world titles at light-middleweight and featherweight.

With a 16-2-2 record, Harper has faced the best in boxing, including Sandy Ryan, Cecilia Braekhus, Natasha Jonas and Alycia Baumgardner.

Undisputed featherweight champion Baumgardner joined MVP this year.

Harper has been chasing a unification fight with Caroline Dubois, while MVP CEO Nakisa Bidarian said former UFC champion Holly Holm - also signed to MVP - is another option for Harper.

MVP announced this week they had signed former bantamweight world champion Shannon Courtenay.
