UK boxing broadcasters
Sky Sports: The biggest and best UK boxing broadcaster for the last 30 years. Most of the sport’s great names have fought on Sky at some stage, and the good news is boxing on the platform will continue despite Eddie Hearn, Matchroom and more recently Joshua all moving to DAZN.
Sky responded to the loss of Matchroom by swiftly inking deals with Bob Arum’s Top Rank and relatively new UK promotional outfit Boxxer.
The Top Rank deal means a slew of world stars such as brilliant 135-pounder Vasiliy Lomacheko plus bantamweight prodigy Naoya Inoue featuring on TV in the UK.
While heavyweight king Tyson Fury is co-promoted by Top Rank, he is not part of the Sky deal. He is promoted by Frank Warren and Queensberry in the UK and his fights air on TNT Sports.
DAZN: Owned by the UK’s richest man Sir Leonard Blavatnik (valued at £23billion per recent Sunday Times Rich List), launched in the UK in late 2020.
Has a five-year global deal with Hearn and Matchroom, which includes a minimum of 16 UK shows per year plus all Matchroom shows outside the UK. It also now has the biggest cash cow in the UK market under contract after the signing of Joshua.
DAZN launched in the UK with a bargain subscription cost of £1.99 per month, though that price point has subsequently increased by a significant amount since.
TNT Sports: The newly-named channel came into official operation from July 18, 2023 with the transition from BT Sport complete.
Has invested strongly into boxing in recent years, and has broadcast all of the aforementioned Fury’s fights since his comeback in 2018.
Has a strong partnership with Warren and Queensberry, and as well as Fury this includes his fellow heavyweights Joe Joyce and Daniel Dubois plus light-heavies Lyndon Arthur and Anthony Yarde.
Another bonus for fight fans is that TNT regularly broadcasts UFC shows, though the bigger fights (think Conor McGregor) are - like Fury - on the pay-per-view Box Office platform.
Channel 5: Has a partnership with Wasserman Boxing to show fights free-to-air in the UK.
Agency giant Wasserman acquired promotional outfit Team Sauerland in 2021 to set up its boxing division.
