MVP takes over the Caribe Royale Orlando this weekend across two nights for a double-show blockbuster feast of fight action featuring some of the top stars in the game.

Jake Paul's promotion will descend on Florida across Friday, August 22 and Saturday, August 23, bringing two cards together featuring a litany of fascinating matchups.

On night one, some of their strongest prospects will meet on a bill that sheds a light on the future of the sport, with plenty of names looking to ensure they end up in lights.

Then, on night two, two full title fights and two more interim strap battles topline another terrific evening of action, set to be brought worldwide to fans exclusively on DAZN.

Here, DAZN News reveals the top five reasons to ensure you tune in this weekend for all the fists and fury you can handle

Two mouthwatering title bouts

They may not be the headline attraction, but a pair of women's bouts in the lower divisions for two WBA crowns promise fireworks and more this coming Saturday.

The unbeaten Stephanie Han will defend her WBA lightweight strap against challenger in her first defence, with the busy Paulina Angel looking to dethrone her place.

Meanwhile, Jasmine Artiga makes the first defence of her WBA super-flyweight belt against Linn Sandström, who challenges for a second time after falling short last year.

Prime movers seek pole position

When there's interim belts on the line, there's plenty at stake as contenders look to cement themselves as first in the queue for a shot at the biggest prize of them all.

Therefore, it stands to reason that Yankiel Rivera, Angelino Cordova, Yoenis Tellez and Abass Baraou will not want to give a quarter when they tangle together in two key fights.

The former pair meet for the WBA interim flyweight title, while the latter duo will square off in search of the WBA interim super welterweight title.

New blood bids to extend reputation

Jan Paul Rivera headlines on the Friday night, and there's plenty of weight on his shoulders. Over the years, Puerto Rico has built a reputation as a hotbed for talent.

Not that the undefeated prospect appears to have folded under pressure so far. At 12-0, with six knockouts, he is earning a very strong reputation in the game so far.

Atop a bill here, he has the chance to push his credentials further into the spotlight. A win here against Daniel Bailey will further underline his future in the sport.

Oshoba bids to cement frontrunner status

Nigerian star Elizabeth Oshoba makes her MVP debut across the weekend, another talented female boxer now fighting under their banner, and has plenty at stake.

Ranked as a top contender for a featherweight title shot by the IBF, she must come past Melissa Oddessa Parker over eight rounds in Florida to keep plans on track.

Win here, and there's a chance her new home could make a fight for a majro strap for her by the end of the year, helping to further push her profile into the picture.

Hints to the future?

Since stepping up to the promotional side of matters, Paul has built an impressive resume for events where has managed to ensure his reputation is not the focal point.

But as discussions continue to swirl over 'The Problem Child' and a reported super-bout with Anthony Joshua, you can imagine the media-savvy star will be aware of talk.

Whether he chooses to address it at all across two days is another matter, with Paul surely wanting his fighters to be the main attraction. But who knows if a tidbit slips out?
