NEW YORK — Boxing may have just entered a new era.
In a blockbuster move, DAZN and Top Rank have announced a multi-year partnership that brings one of the sport’s most powerful promotional companies to the world’s fastest-growing global boxing platform.
For fans, this isn’t just another deal—it’s a shift in how boxing will be watched, shared, and experienced worldwide.
One Platform. Generations of Greatness.
This agreement unlocks something rare: the past and future of boxing in one place.
Subscribers will gain access to legendary fights from the six-decade Top Rank archive, including the iconic Thrilla in Manila featuring Muhammad Ali.
The platform will also showcase unforgettable eras led by Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, and Marvin Hagler—alongside modern icons like Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao.
It’s not just nostalgia—it’s a complete boxing experience.
The Next Wave of Stars Is Here
The deal also puts today’s rising stars front and center.
Fighters like Keyshawn Davis, Xander Zayas, and Abdullah Mason will now compete under DAZN’s global spotlight, alongside champions such as Emanuel Navarrete, Raymond Muratalla, O’Shaquie Foster, and Bruce Carrington.
For casual fans, it means easier discovery.
For hardcore fans, it means deeper, more consistent fight schedules.
Why This Changes Everything
DAZN is already delivering more than 185 fight nights per year. Adding Top Rank doesn’t just increase volume—it raises the ceiling.
This partnership brings together:
- A 60-year promotional powerhouse
- A global streaming giant
- A unified destination for elite boxing
And it arrives at a time when fans are demanding simplicity over fragmentation.
What They’re Saying
Bob Arum said:
“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.”
Shay Segev added:
“Boxing belongs on the global stage, and this landmark partnership with Top Rank brings one of the sport’s most iconic promoters and legacies to DAZN – the global home of boxing. DAZN already delivers more premium fight nights than any entertainment platform in the world and the addition of Top Rank’s elite events and historic archive further strengthens our position. For fans, fighters and the sport, this partnership is about scale and setting a new standard for how world-class boxing is experienced.”
The Bigger Picture
This isn’t just about fights.
It’s about access.
It’s about visibility.
It’s about bringing boxing fully into the streaming era.
And if this deal delivers on its promise, fans may look back on this moment as the turning point.
