Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia face off in Las Vegas on April 22 in one of the most high profile and intriguing bouts of the year.
The Sin City scrap is a co-promotion between PBC and Golden Boy, and will be available in the US on both Showtime and DAZN PPV.
Fans will pay a premium price for a premium product, with the box office event set to cost $84.99. This will be reduced for current DAZN subscribers.
UK fans, though, will be able to view the super fight as part of a regular DAZN subscription. Of course, the card will take place early Sunday morning and see the main event ring walks between 5 and 6AM.
The announcement was made by Garcia himself.
“Hey UK and Ireland fans, I got some news for you. You can watch me knock out ‘Tank’ April 22nd exclusively live on DAZN as part of your subscription. Don’t miss it.”
Huge news for a huge fight❗️#DavisGarcia will be exclusively broadcast in the UK & Ireland as part of your DAZN monthly subscription! 🙌

The news comes following DAZN’s announcement of a channel available on Sky TV, which opens the service up to a new audience and potential broadcast in pubs and venues.
Including a super fight within the subscription cost will surprise some fans given that an event similar last year – Saul ‘Canelo’ Álvarez versus Gennadiy Golovkin 3 – was an extra cost above the monthly fee.
‘Tank’ and Garcia will meet at a catchweight of 136lb – something that will benefit him as the smaller man – as the pair put their undefeated records on the line for the winner to cement his status as one of the sport’s biggest stars.
Fans have praised the matchmaking and the fact that promotional and broadcast barriers have been crossed to make the fight happen.
With 45 knockouts between them, not many are predicting it to go the distance.
