Sky Sports and NOW will become the home of Most Valuable Promotions’ new women’s boxing platform MVPW in the UK and Ireland after agreeing a multi-year deal with the promoter.
The deal will see Sky Sports exclusively broadcast two all-female UK evening matches each year, along with MVPW’s first UK tournament on Sunday 5 April at the Olympia in London.
The women’s-only bill at Olympia, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports this Sunday, includes a historic double main event in which Caroline Dubois takes on British rival Terry Harper in a lightweight world title unification bout, as well as a bout in which three-belt super bantamweight champion Ellie Scotney takes on Mexico’s WBA world titlist Mayeli Flores, who if victorious would become Britain’s youngest ever absolute champion in the four-belt era.
As well as the UK mainland event, Sky Sports will also be broadcasting a selection of MVPW US match nights, starting with unified super featherweight world champion Alicia Baumgardner defending her title against South Korea’s Bo Mi Le Shin at the Infosys Theater in Madison Square Garden in the early hours of April 18th.
On the undercard, Shadasia Greene will defend her unified IBF and WBO super middleweight world titles in a 10-round bout against former light heavyweight champion Lani Daniels.
