Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions sign major multi-year deal with Sky Sports

Jake Paul has secured a major multi-year broadcasting deal with Sky Sports and NOW.

Eight years after making his amateur boxing debut when he defeated Deji Olatunji, the younger brother of KSI, via fifth-round TKO in Manchester, Paul is now one of the biggest names in combat sports.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer made his professional debut two years later against fellow social media star AnEsonGib, and has since gone on to fight the likes of Anderson Silva, Mike Tyson and, most recently, Anthony Joshua.

Outside of his own fights, Paul is often involved with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), the boxing and mixed martial arts promotion company that he established in 2021 alongside his adviser Nakisa Bidarian.

As part of his role with MVP, Paul has been a key figure in promoting women's boxing, culminating in the formation of their new women’s boxing platform, MVPW.

In an official announcement, it was confirmed that Sky Sports and NOW will be the home of MVPW, in the UK and Ireland after agreeing a multi-year deal with the promoter.

The deal will see Sky Sports be the exclusive broadcaster for two all-female UK fight nights every year, the first of which will be at London's Olympia on Sunday.

WBC lightweight champion Caroline Dubois, the younger sister of former heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois, will headline the card in a world title unification bout with WBO champion and fellow Brit Terri Harper.

Alongside the UK shows, Sky Sports will also show selected MVPW US fight nights.

Announcing the news, Paul and Bidarian said: ""Through MVPW, we are committed to delivering meaningful opportunities for fighters while producing premium events that expand the global reach and commercial potential of women's boxing.

"Bringing two premium all-female MVPW events to the UK and Ireland each year, starting with the historic MVPW-01 on Sunday April 5 at London's Olympia, is exactly what we envisioned when we launched this platform.

"We have the best female British boxers in the world and Sky Sports is the perfect home to showcase the elite talent and championship-level action that defines MVPW.

"Together, we're committed to continuing to elevate women's boxing to the main stage it deserves, delivering unforgettable nights for fans across the UK and beyond."
