DAZN launches Saturday Fight Night with year-round boxing schedule | News

DAZN has launched Saturday Fight Night, which establishes a consistent weekly attraction for boxing fans.

The broadcaster says Saturday Fight Night “delivers the sport’s biggest fighters in the biggest fights across a packed 52‑week schedule”.

Dave Stratton, EVP Global Marketing, DAZN, said: “Boxing has always delivered great nights, but fans deserve more consistency in knowing where to find them and what’s at stake. Saturday Fight Night changes that. We’re giving the sport a weekly standing appointment, backed by the promoters and fighters who define it. DAZN’s promise to fans is simple: global boxing every Saturday, all year long.” 

In the UK, fans will see promoters going head to head 52 weeks a year, including Matchroom Boxing, Queensberry Promotions, Boxxer, MF Pro and Misfits, with coverage presented and analysed by DAZN’s broadcast talent including Ade Oladipo, Anna Woolhouse, Tony Bellew, Carl Frampton, Adam Smith, Darren Barker and Barry Jones.

In the US, there will be fight nights from Matchroom USA, Top Rank, Golden Boy and Dmitry Salita. These will be delivered by a broadcast team including Kate Scott, Todd Grisham, Chris Mannix, Sergio Mora, and special guest analysts.  

Saturday Fight Night’s weekly bouts are organised into three tiers:

• Championship: The sport’s defining title fights, including contests for the four major world championships sanctioned by the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO. 
• Main Event: The nights built on names, narrative and bad blood. Not for a belt, but always the fights and rivalries the whole sport is talking about. 
• Rising Stars: Fights featuring the next generation of boxers, before the world catches on. 

Separate from the weekly tiers are Saturday Fight Night’s Pay-Per-View events, for the sport’s biggest nights, says DAZN.
