On November 3, Queensberry Promotions and sports streaming platform DAZN announced a multi-year partnership set to begin on April 1, 2025. Previously, Queensberry’s events were broadcast on BT Sport, Box Nation, and TNT Sport, but DAZN now holds exclusive rights to air their events.
DAZN sees this agreement with Queensberry as a step toward becoming the global home of boxing
Commenting on the new partnership, Queensberry founder Frank Warren reflected on his 47-year journey in the sport.
“At 23, I was invited by the British Boxing Board of Control to get a license. I never feared changing the game and working with new media—from PPV to satellite TV. When it seemed the scale couldn’t get bigger, I received a call from Turki Al-Sheikh. I’m as competitive as my fighters and always looking for new challenges. This company is fully dedicated to boxing with a global platform, which is crucial for us. Expanding and evolving, collaborating to improve boxing—I believe this partnership will be a success,” said Warren.
DAZN Group CEO Pete Oliver emphasized that this deal makes DAZN “the undisputed global home of boxing.” With guaranteed access to 150 fights annually, boxing fans won’t need any other platform starting April 2025.
DAZN’s Expansion in Combat Sports
In July 2024, Turki Al-Sheikh, head of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, stated that DAZN would be the go-to platform for combat sports broadcasts.
DAZN now streams events from ONE Championship, Asia’s premier MMA organization, which also includes Muay Thai, kickboxing, and submission grappling. DAZN also has agreements with RWS Muay Thai, PFL MMA (a key UFC competitor).
And Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) events. BKFC stands as the leading bare-knuckle fighting promotion globally, with former UFC champion Conor McGregor recently joining as a co-owner.
