MVP, Matchroom partner to grow women’s boxing
July 28, 2026
Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) and Matchroom Boxing have announced a strategic alliance that brings together two of boxing’s most influential promotional organisations in a long-term collaboration focused on accelerating the continued growth of women’s boxing.
The strategic alliance brings together MVP’s platform for women’s boxing and Matchroom Boxing’s global promotional expertise and roster to create new opportunities for female fighters both inside and outside the ring. The alliance reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the long-term ecosystem of women’s boxing. Rather than competing in isolation, MVP and Matchroom Boxing will work together to identify opportunities for female athletes, support the continued growth of world championship competition, and help expand the global audience for women’s boxing through premium events and increased commercial investment in the sport.
MVP co-founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, commented: “Since launching MVPW, our goal has been to build the biggest platform in the world for women’s boxing and create transformative opportunities for female fighters at every stage of their careers. Partnering with Matchroom Boxing is another major step toward that vision. Historically, Matchroom played an instrumental role in elevating women’s boxing globally, and together we have an opportunity to create even bigger moments for the sport and the athletes driving it forward. This is about investing in the future of the sport and creating the premier destination for the world’s best female fighters.”
Matchroom Sport Chairman Eddie Hearn, added: “This is a partnership not many would have seen coming. But it is one that makes perfect sense. For a long time, Matchroom has singlehandedly carried the flag for women’s boxing. In recent years, MVP have done an incredible job too. They now have an unprecedented stable of Champions and continue to break the boundaries for women’s boxing time and time again. For our female fighters to chase legacy and to fight the best, this new alliance is integral and we are fully committed to working together with MVPW to continue to grow women’s boxing.”
