DAZN, Matchroom Boxing Sign Five-Year Deal to Extend Long-Standing Partnership

DAZN is reinforcing its leadership in global boxing through a new five-year deal with Matchroom Boxing in the United States and the United Kingdom. The deal extends the long-term partnership between the two boxing heavyweights.

The extended agreement underlines DAZN's commitment to delivering the strongest schedule in world boxing and reflects Matchroom Boxing's confidence in partnering with DAZN for its production quality, audience reach, and global capability.

It's a partnership that has already reshaped how fans watch boxing. DAZN will continue to deliver a non-stop calendar of premium events supported by year-round original content to take fans inside the stories, camps, and rivalries. Together, DAZN and Matchroom Boxing will continue to drive boxing's evolution and deliver a premium experience to fans around the world.

With more than 30 blockbuster Matchroom Boxing fight nights available on DAZN per year, boxing fans can already look forward to watching an all-Mexican unification bout at super featherweight on Sat., Feb. 28, as IBF's Eduardo Sugar' Nunez (29-1) collides with WBO king Emanuel Navarrete (39-2) in a huge showdown between two knockout artists.

Also announced is a new partnership between DAZN's Foxtel Group and Matchroom Boxing in Australia. This agreement will see seven major Matchroom Boxing events broadcast on Kayo Sports and Foxtel in 2026, bringing top-tier global boxing to Australian audiences. Following DAZN's acquisition of Foxtel Group last year, the company has continued to expand its portfolio of sports content on its Kayo Sports streaming and Foxtel subscription TV platforms. The new partnership with Matchroom Boxing strengthens Foxtel Group's position as Australia's leading sports and entertainment media company.

Matchroom Boxing's elite roster is one of the strongest and most dynamic in the sport. Legends like Anthony Joshua, Katie Taylor, Unified Light Heavyweight king Dmitry Bivol and pound-for-pound superstar Jesse Bam' Rodriguez lead the way. The newly crowned world champions in Dalton Smith, Lewis Crocker, and Josh Kelly showcase proven quality and fierce ambition, while Jaron Boots Ennis, Conor Benn and Ben Whittaker deliver mainstream attention and international pull. In the U.S., the likes of Sugar Nunez and Diego Pacheco bring global star potential.

Leading female fighters Sandy Ryan, Elif Turhan, Skye Nicolson and Molly McCann guarantee intensity and draw major fan engagement. And emerging talents through the likes of Pat Brown, Leo Atang, Omari Jones, Teremoana Teremoana, Georgio Visioli, George Liddard, and Tiah Mai Ayton underscore not just the depth of Matchroom Boxing's stable today, but the foundations of an exciting, lasting legacy for the generations to come.

DAZN has established partnerships with some of the sport's biggest promoters, a global distribution footprint, and strategic investment in premium storytelling. Together, DAZN and its partners are setting the standard for modern boxing coverage.

Shay Segev, DAZN Group CEO, says, 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.

Eddie Hearn, Chairman of Matchroom Sport, says, 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.
