Sky Sports has agreed a multi-year deal with Most Valuable Promotions to become the exclusive UK and Ireland broadcaster of MVPW, the new global women’s boxing platform co-founded by Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian.

The agreement, announced Tuesday, guarantees at least two all-female UK fight nights per year on Sky Sports and NOW. The partnership launches this Sunday, April 5, with MVPW-01 at London’s Olympia, featuring a double main event headlined by Caroline Dubois vs. Terri Harper and Ellie Scotney vs. Mayelli Flores.

A New Home for Women’s Boxing in the UK

The Dubois-Harper contest is a 10-round WBO and WBC lightweight unification bout, with Dubois (12-0-1, 5 KOs) facing Harper (16-2-2, 6 KOs). In the co-main, unified super-bantamweight champion Scotney (11-0) puts her belts on the line against Mexico’s WBA titleholder Flores, with a victory making Scotney the UK’s youngest undisputed champion of the four-belt era.

Sky Sports’ Chief Officer UK and Ireland, Jonathan Licht, said the agreement underlines the broadcaster’s “ambition to showcase the very best in women’s boxing to sports fans and new audiences.” Sky accounted for 79 percent of all televised women’s sport coverage in the UK in 2025, with viewing up 25 percent across more than 4,000 hours of broadcasts.

Global Reach Through ESPN and Sky

The Sky deal runs alongside MVP’s existing multi-year partnership with ESPN as the U.S. home of MVPW events through 2028. Sky Sports will also air selected MVPW US events, beginning with MVPW-02 on April 17 from the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden, headlined by unified junior lightweight champion Alycia Baumgardner defending against Bo Mi Re Shin.

Paul and Bidarian said the Sky partnership “marks a major milestone for MVPW and women’s boxing globally,” adding that the goal is delivering “unforgettable nights for fans across the UK and beyond.” MVPW-01 airs live on Sky Sports this Sunday at 5 p.m. BST.
