DAZN have certainly shaken up the boxing world over the past few years.
The streaming platform entered the sport in a big way when they signed a broadcast deal with Matchroom Boxing in 2018.
Since then, DAZN have become synonymous with the world of boxing.
Fighters including Anthony Joshua, Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin have all had bouts featured on the broadcaster.
Not only mainstream boxing, but YouTube boxing has also found a partner in DAZN.
Misfits Boxing signed an agreement with the broadcaster in 2022 and the two have since been closely associated with one another.
Having another broadcaster involved in the world of boxing is only good news for the sport.
And today has been an example of why.
The DAZN Boxing Twitter/X page has tweeted to confirm that a world title fight will be available to view on the platform tomorrow.
IBF World Super Middleweight title will be up for grabs as William Scull takes on Vladimir Shishkin to be crowned new champion.
Earlier this year, Scull was named mandatory contender for the title that was held by Canelo Alvarez at the time.
Alvarez decided to relinquish the title and this fight will crown a new champion.
Shishkin was the number two contender for the title, so the top two are facing each other off.
For a while now, the fight had been announced but there was no global broadcaster confirmed.
That’s where DAZN have stepped in and fight fans will be able to watch the contest on their platform.
The fight will be taking place at the Stadthalle in Falkensee, Germany where Scull is now based.
