Zuffa Boxing has found its home in the United Kingdom as the new company has just reached a broadcasting deal with Sky Sports. The deal is said to demonstrate Sky’s ongoing commitment to the sport and bringing their customers the kind of content they’re looking for. Sky executive Jonathan Licht shared these thoughts on the new partnership.
“Zuffa Boxing has exciting plans for the sport, and we share that same ambition when it comes to putting on the best fights for our customers. We look forward to a new
era where we’ll use our platform to both build stars and showcase elite boxing talent here in the UK and internationally.”
Zuffa frontman Dana White would go on to say that the UK has played a critical role in developing the sport of boxing over the years and considers it to be a major milestone for his company to have the backing of the big British network.
In the meanwhile the first Zuffa show to be broadcast on DAZN will be Zuffa Boxing 5 headlined by Andres Cortes (24-0) vs Eridson Garcia (23-1), which will stream live on Paramount+ domestically in the United States.
