Platform DAZN has acquired the broadcast rights to the Matchroom Boxing evening, which will take place on 25 September at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. DAZN will broadcast the event worldwide apart from the UK, where it will be shown by Sky Sports on pay-per-view basis.
The main event of the evening will be a bout for the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight belts between Anthony Joshua (24-1, 22 KOs) and Alexander Usyk (18-0, 13 KOs). Their fight will be watched live by 60,000 fans. Tickets for the September night were sold out in 24 hours.
The same evening, scheduled for the last weekend of September, will feature WBO World Cruiserweight Champion Lawrence Okolie fighting Dylan Prasovic, among others. It will be a mandatory World Boxing Organization title defense for the Briton.
Fans will also see the return to the ring of Callum Smith, who will make his light heavyweight debut against Lenin Castillo.
