A new era of boxing has begun as Bob Arum’s Top Rank Boxing has signed a broadcast deal with DAZN Boxing.
Arum has staged some of boxing’s biggest fights throughout history with Top Rank and will look to continue that success with new partner DAZN.
Over the past few years, DAZN has grown into boxing’s leading broadcaster and labels itself “the global home of boxing.”
That mantra is hard to argue with, having signed long-term deals with promotional giants Matchroom Boxing, Golden Boy Promotions and Queensberry.

This deal marks Top Rank’s first move to a new platform in over eight years, having previously aired on ESPN.
During its time with ESPN, Top Rank aired blockbuster fights featuring some of the sport’s biggest stars, including Tyson Fury, Terence Crawford and Vasiliy Lomachenko.
The new deal with DAZN is said to be a multi-year agreement, with the number of shows per year set to be announced in due course.
Arum has promoted stars from Muhammad Ali to Manny Pacquiao, George Foreman to Floyd Mayweather, and brings an impressive stable to DAZN.
Some of his current standout fighters include Keyshawn Davis, Xander Zayas, Abdullah Mason and many of the sport’s future stars.
Arum spoke in the official announcement, conveying his excitement about the new broadcast partner.
“Since the day I started Top Rank 60 years ago, our focus has been simple: sign the best fighters, develop them into champions and make the best fights possible.
“DAZN’s position as the global home of boxing makes this a natural partnership, and I’m confident it will be tremendously beneficial for fighters, fans and the future of the sport.”
DAZN Group CEO Shay Segev also commented on the groundbreaking deal.

“For fans, fighters and the sport, this partnership is about scale and setting a new standard for how world-class boxing is experienced.”
