What Hardy's Lawsuit Alleges Against MVP

Hardy held the WBO featherweight strap during her pro career and has been a fixture in women's boxing for years. The specifics of her negligence claims were not detailed in the initial filing, but the eight-figure sum sought suggests alleged damages tied to either contract disputes or safety-related failures during her time working with the promotion.

Most Valuable Promotions has signed multiple fighters since Paul started the company and has staged several high-profile cards. The lawsuit could complicate the promotion's ongoing expansion plans if discovery reveals issues in how fighters are managed or protected under MVP contracts.
