MVP announced Thursday morning that IBF and WBO middleweight champion Desley Robinson will face Tamm Thibeault in the co-main event August 8 at Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. The card, which will air on ESPN in the United States, is headlined by IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO bantamweight champ Cherneka Johnson (19-2, 8 KOs) versus Dina Thorslund (24-0, 9 KOs), who still owns The Ring bantamweight title.

Robinson (12-3, 4 KOs), of Mackay, Queensland, Australia, has won seven straight fights since her last defeat in March 2024. Robinson, 38, is coming off a unanimous-decision victory over Canada’s Mary Spencer (10-4, 6 KOs) on May 30 in El Paso, Texas.

She won the then-vacant IBF 160-pound title in December 2024 by unanimous decision over Kaye Scott. She then became a unified champion when she beat Chloe Chaos (7-2-2, 3 KOs) via unanimous decision to win the WBO belt in April 2025.

The 29-year-old Thibeault (4-0, 3 KOs) is a two-time Olympian for Canada. The Saint-Georges, Quebec, Canada, native has won three straight bouts by knockout and most recently recorded a first-round stoppage of Italy’s Cristina Mazzotta (1-2) on September 27 in Montreal.

Dallas’ Shurretta Metcalf (15-5-1, 2 KOs, 1 NC), The Ring’s No. 2 bantamweight contender, and Amanda Galle (12-1-1, 1 KO), of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, will also square off in an eight-round junior bantamweight bout on the Johnson-Thorslund undercard.
