Sky Sports Partners with Jake Paul's MVP for Landmark Women's Boxing Deal
In a significant development for women's boxing, Sky Sports and NOW have secured a multi-year partnership with Most Valuable Promotions to become the exclusive UK and Ireland broadcast home of their new women's boxing platform, MVPW. This deal ensures that Sky Sports will host two all-female fight nights annually, with the inaugural event taking place at London's Olympia on April 5. The historic double main event features Caroline Dubois facing Terri Harper in a lightweight world title unification bout, alongside Ellie Scotney's match against Mayelli Flores for the super-bantamweight title. Sky Sports will also broadcast select MVPW US fight nights, starting with Alycia Baumgardner's title defense against Bo Mi Re Shin on April 18. Jonathan Licht, Sky Sports' chief officer for the UK and Ireland, expressed the network's ambition to showcase top-tier women's boxing, proud to contribute to the sport's growing momentum. Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions, hailed the partnership as a major milestone for MVPW and women's boxing globally, committed to delivering premium events and expanding the sport's reach. The partnership reinforces Sky Sports' position as a leading broadcaster of women's sport, having previously aired iconic women's boxing events, including Claressa Shields' victory over Savannah Marshall and Lauren Price vs Natasha Jonas.
