The DAZN platform plans to resume organizing boxing evenings in the United States. The first event is tentatively scheduled for July 4, when promising lightweight Ryan Garcia will hold his next bout .

Cecilia Breckhus (36-0, 9 KO) will also perform at one of the first DAZN tournaments. The Norwegian champion has been in Big Bear, California for several weeks, where she and her coach Abel Sanchez are working on her preparation. At the time of Brekhus preparing for the fight against Jessica McCaskill (8-2, 3 KO), a ban on travel to Europe was imposed.

The fight with the American was about to take place on April 17 in Oxon Hill, but the whole evening was canceled. However, the duel against McCaskill is expected to take place this summer, as announced by Eddie Hearn, promoter of both girls.

For Braekhus, this will be the second performance since signing a contract with Matchroom Boxing. In November, the Norwegian defeated Victoria Noel Bustos by unanimous decision at a boxing night in Monaco. Braekhus is the WBA, WBO, WBC and IBF World Welterweight Champion.
