Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing has secured a new five-year deal with DAZN in the United States and the United Kingdom
Matchroom signed an exclusive deal with DAZN back in 2021 – following three years of working with the platform for its US broadcasts – for the same term, moving its entire stable from Sky Sports. In the time since, the DAZN has continued to build its boxing output, having partnered with Golden Boy Promotions in 2018 and, more recently, signing up Queensberry as well as a link up with BOXXER, which also broadcasts on the BBC in the UK.
Shay Segev, DAZN Group CEO, said:
“Our new five-year deal with Matchroom Boxing builds on the success of our longstanding partnership and reaffirms DAZN as the global home of boxing. Matchroom Boxing trusts DAZN to deliver the best experiences for the biggest fights for boxing fans everywhere. Together, we’ll continue to raise the bar.”
Hearn echoed the statement.
“DAZN is the only partner that matches our ambitions for boxing. Their global platform, investment, passion and commitment to boxing make them the perfect partner for Matchroom Boxing’s fighters and events. This new, five-year deal in two of the world’s most important boxing markets reinforces our belief and trust in DAZN, and the scale of what we can achieve together.”
Next up on Matchroom’s schedule is the rematch between Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington in Nottingham this coming Saturday night.
