Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions has reached a multi-year deal with Madison Square Garden Entertainment to stage annual women’s boxing events in New York as part of the company’s newly launched platform for female fighters.
The arrangement was announced alongside MVP’s broadcast deal with ESPN and forms part of the launch of the promotion’s women’s boxing series. Under the deal, Madison Square Garden will host annual events over the next three years, giving the project a recurring presence at one of boxing’s most recognized venues.
The first of those events is scheduled for April 17 at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York. The card will be broadcast live on ESPN, and will be headlined by unified super featherweight champion Alycia Baumgardner defending her titles against South Korea’s Bo Mi Re Shin.
The same event will also feature unified super middleweight champion Shadasia Green defending her belts against Lani Daniels. Both bouts are scheduled for 10 rounds and represent the first United States event under the promotion’s new women’s boxing lineup.
Most Valuable Promotions launched the platform as an annual schedule built around championship fights featuring top female competitors. The cards will be numbered consecutively, starting with an opening event in London on April 5 featuring Caroline Dubois vs. Terri Harper in a lightweight unification bout.
MVP co-founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian said the platform is intended to give women’s boxing consistent placement on major broadcasts and prominent stages.
Bidarian described the ESPN partnership as “a historic milestone” for the company’s women’s boxing platform.
Madison Square Garden has hosted many of boxing’s most important fights over the decades, and the deal gives the promotion a regular foothold in New York as it builds its women’s lineup around title matches and established champions.
The next event in the series is scheduled for May 30 in El Paso, Texas, with a rematch between Stephanie Han and former boxing and mixed martial arts champion Holly Holm.
