Beyond the ring, Mazz is also the owner of AK Boxing & World Fitness. As one of Canada’s top boxing prospects, he is an athlete to watch closely on the international stage. His opponent Anthony Soto is a 24-year-old from Pueblo, Colorado, USA. Also a rising contender, Soto has finished his last four opponents by KO. He will make his international debut, fighting outside the US for the first time on Saturday, September 27.
“Every Most Valuable Prospects event is about discovering the future of boxing, and this Championship Edition takes that to another level,” said Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions. “You’ve got an undefeated hometown hero in Mazlum Akdeniz putting it all on the line against an American knockout artist, you’ve got our own Wanna Walton stepping into the ring as one of the youngest stars in the sport, and you’ve got Canadian and international prospects hungry to prove themselves on a global stage. Montreal has a deep boxing history, and on Saturday, September 27, fans will witness the next generation ready to carry that tradition forward.”
Also on the preliminary card will be MVP’s Amanda Galle. Raised in a proud Italian family in Mississauga, Ontario, she began her combat sports journey at six, earning a black belt in karate by 11 before beginning boxing and kickboxing. At 16, she scored a 28-second knockout in her boxing debut and went on to capture three Canadian national titles between 2009 and 2018, persevering through her mother’s battle with breast cancer and her own struggles with depression. Turning professional in 2019, Galle built an undefeated record while balancing her career with family, ultimately delivering the Canadian super bantamweight title to her mother’s hospital bed before her passing in 2022. Galle rebounded with a string of victories, overcoming a broken hand and capturing the IBO bantamweight world championship in December 2023, which she defended successfully in 2024. Galle will face Mexico City, Mexico’s Alondra Hernandez (8-1). The 20-year-old contended for the WBC international flyweight title in May 2025, and most recently defeated Fatima Rodriguez Magallon by TKO in August 2025.
Born in 2002 in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, 23-year-old Loick Lahaie completed a high school sports-study boxing program and boasts a record of 77 amateur bouts (49-28) along with an undefeated professional start at 2-0-0. A Canadian national champion and six-time Quebec champion, he competed internationally with Boxing Canada and now contributes to BoxÉduc, bringing boxing’s values to young people. His opponent, Rufus-Venice Camara-Macauley is a fellow-undefeated rising prospect. The 28-year-old southpaw comes to the ring from Berlin, Germany.
