Jake Paul’s MVP and Sky Sports announce deal
Under this new agreement, Sky Sports will become the exclusive home for MVP’s new women’s boxing platform, known as MVPW. The deal guarantees at least two all-female fight nights in the UK every year. This is a huge win for fans who want to see more consistent coverage of the sport. Beyond UK soil, the deal also includes selected high-profile US shows, ensuring international stars get the recognition they deserve.
The partnership kicks off with a historic event on Sunday, April 5, at London’s Olympia. This first event features a double main event that has the boxing world buzzing. Caroline Dubois will face her British rival Terri Harper in a lightweight world title unification. Additionally, three-belt champion Ellie Scotney will fight Mexico’s Mayelli Flores. If the former wins, she will make history as the UK’s youngest-ever undisputed champion in the four-belt era.
Sky Sports is already a leader in women’s sports. In 2025, they provided nearly 80% of all televised women’s sports coverage in the UK. This deal with Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian shows their continued commitment to the sport. By giving these athletes a main-stage spotlight, both parties hope to grow the commercial potential and global reach of women’s boxing.
Jake Paul expressed his excitement, noting that the UK has some of the best female boxers in the world. He believes Sky Sports is the perfect home to showcase elite talent. With Sky Sports’ massive reach, these fighters can now perform in front of millions of viewers. This collaboration ensures that women’s boxing continues its incredible momentum throughout 2026 and far into the future.
