Sky Sports and streaming service NOW will be the UK and Ireland broadcast partners for Most Valuable Promotions’ new women’s boxing series, MVPW, after agreeing a multi-year rights deal.
Under the agreement, Sky will exclusively air two all-female UK fight nights from MVPW each year. MVPW’s first UK show is set for Sunday April 5 at London’s Olympia. The card, shown live on Sky Sports, features a landmark double main event: Caroline Dubois versus Terri Harper in a lightweight world title unification, and three-belt super-bantamweight champion Ellie Scotney against Mexico’s WBA titleholder Mayelli Flores. A Scotney victory would make her the youngest British undisputed champion of the four-belt era.
Sky will also televise selected MVPW cards from the United States, beginning in the early hours of April 18 when unified super-featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner defends her belts against South Korea’s Bo Mi Re Shin at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden. That event’s undercard includes Shadasia Green defending her unified IBF and WBO super-middleweight titles against former light-heavyweight champion Lani Daniels.
Jonathan Licht, Sky Sports Chief Officer UK and Ireland, said the partnership reflects the broadcaster’s aim to bring top-level women’s boxing to a wide audience and to build on Sky’s investment in women’s sport. He highlighted the broadcaster’s busy women’s sports calendar ahead, including major tournaments and domestic competitions scheduled for 2026.
MVP co-founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian described the Sky tie-up as a major step for MVPW and for women’s boxing globally. They said the platform is focused on creating opportunities for fighters, staging high-quality events and expanding the commercial reach of female boxing talent, with two premium all-female nights a year in the UK and Ireland beginning at Olympia.
Sky Sports has previously televised milestone moments in women’s boxing, including the first all-female card in 2022 headlined by Claressa Shields’ win over Savannah Marshall, which attracted more than two million viewers. Last year Sky exclusively broadcast a second all-female UK card from the Royal Albert Hall headlined by Lauren Price versus Natasha Jonas.
Sky says it remains the largest investor in and broadcaster of women’s sport in the UK and Ireland: in 2025 it accounted for 79% of televised women’s sport coverage in the UK, with total viewing up 25% across more than 4,000 hours of women’s sport programming.
Further MVPW cards and scheduling details will be announced in due course. Watch the Dubois–Harper and Scotney–Flores double-header live on Sky Sports on Sunday April 5.
