Sky Sports has secured a multi-year broadcast deal with Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions to showcase the new women's boxing platform MVPW in the UK and Ireland. The agreement will see Sky Sports exclusively air two all-female fight nights annually, starting with MVPW's debut UK event at London's Olympia on April 5.

The Olympia card features a historic double main event with Caroline Dubois facing Terri Harper in a lightweight world title unification, alongside Ellie Scotney challenging Mayelli Flores for super-bantamweight supremacy. A victory for Scotney would make her the UK's youngest ever undisputed champion in the four-belt era. Sky Sports will also broadcast selected MVPW US events, beginning with Alycia Baumgardner's title defense against Bo Mi Re Shin at Madison Square Garden on April 18.

This partnership reinforces Sky Sports' position as the UK and Ireland's largest investor in women's sport, accounting for 79% of televised women's sport coverage in 2025. The broadcaster has previously delivered record-breaking audiences for women's boxing, including over two million viewers for the first all-female card in 2022 featuring Claressa Shields. With the ICC Women's T20 World Cup and other major events scheduled for 2026, Sky Sports continues to expand its portfolio of women's sporting content.
