DAZN, TNT Sports announce groundbreaking monthly boxing series
Ultimate Tier: PPVs & 185 fight nights included
The global home of boxing and TNT Sports made a groundbreaking announcement on Thursday, as the partnership will feature monthly major boxing events branded "The Fight" beginning on July 4 on all DAZN platforms and TNT Sports. Fights which feature boxers from Top Rank, Matchroom Boxing, Golden Boy Promotions, and Queensberry Promotions, among others, along with broadcast schedules, will be announced at a later date.
Under the collaboration, select fight nights will be presented across TNT Sports’ U.S. networks and streamed globally on DAZN, bringing marquee matchups and championship bouts to a broad national audience. The partnership reflects DAZN’s long-standing, open-door approach to distribution and shared vision with TNT Sports to bring championship boxing to a broader audience in the US. TNT Sports and DAZN will enhance the fan experience with expansive, co-produced studio programming and a deep commentating roster that will elevate the events for fans.
TNT Sports’ networks and platforms, including Bleacher Report and House of Highlights, will produce and deliver additional content and original programming that brings fight fans closer to the action and drama of boxing. truTV will also serve as a meaningful platform for robust boxing content, airing additional live and shoulder programming to further elevate fight nights, including event weigh-ins, press conferences, features, and original content, and more.
Along with creating memorable moments for fans with each fight night, TNT Sports and DAZN will collaborate on cross-promotion, marketing, and advertising sales. Leveraging their collective reach and innovation, these two industry leaders will create a seamless, multi-platform experience that delivers maximum value for brand partners. TNT Sports and DAZN teams will work together across The Fight, pay-per-view events, and subscription programming, creating a more streamlined way for brands to invest in boxing and activate across a broad, unified rights portfolio.
Through its partnerships with many of the sport’s top promoters, DAZN has established itself as a global destination for boxing. These promotions deliver a year-round slate of high-profile fight nights featuring many of boxing’s biggest stars and rising contenders. With this new union, these relationships — marquee, cross-promotional fights — will be accessible to more viewers than ever before.
“DAZN’s partnership with TNT Sports is an important new chapter for boxing in the U.S.," Shay Segev, DAZN Group CEO, said. "By bringing together two leaders in sports media and collaborating with the world’s top promoters, The Fight will deliver unprecedented access to major fight nights to boxing fans nationwide. This collaboration creates attractive commercial opportunities. It reflects our innovative approach to distribution and our shared ambition to grow the sport by making the biggest events in boxing more accessible than ever before.”
“DAZN has earned a strong reputation within the boxing community, and this will allow TNT Sports to be a player in this growing sport — expanding the reach of these events and the moments surrounding them – to an even broader audience,” Luis Silberwasser, Chairman & CEO, TNT Sports, said. “This builds on a successful production and commercial partnership with DAZN to showcase the FIFA Club World Cup last Summer and further expands TNT Sports’ portfolio of year-round premium sports content.”
