Warner Bros. Discovery, through TNT Sports, has reached an agreement with DAZN to distribute a monthly boxing series exclusively in the United States. The partnership represents a significant forward in expanding the sport’s reach by combining traditional television with global streaming distribution.
The series, branded “The Fight,” will feature premium monthly cards in collaboration with some of boxing’s most influential promoters, including Top Rank, Matchroom Boxing, Golden Boy Promotions and Queensberry Promotions, among others.
The inaugural event is scheduled for July 4, 2026, marking Independence Day in the United States. Early indications suggest the card will be headlined by WBO lightweight champion Abdullah Mason making his first title defense against former titleholder Joe Cordina at Rocket Arena in Cleveland.
Under the terms of the deal, select fight nights will air across TNT Sports’ U.S. platforms, while DAZN will stream the events globally. The initiative is designed to expand boxing’s accessibility while enhancing the viewing experience through studio programming, original content, and in-depth event coverage.
Luis Silberwasser, Chairman and CEO of TNT Sports, emphasized the importance of the agreement:
“DAZN has earned a strong reputation within the boxing community, and this will allow TNT Sports to be a player in this growing sport expanding the reach of these events and the moments surrounding them to an even broader audience. This builds on a successful production and commercial partnership with DAZN to showcase the FIFA Club World Cup last Summer and further expands TNT Sports’ portfolio of year-round premium sports content.”
DAZN Group CEO Shay Segev added:
“DAZN’s partnership with TNT Sports is an important new chapter for boxing in the U.S. By bringing together two leaders in sports media and collaborating with the world’s top promoters, The Fight will deliver unprecedented access to major fight nights to boxing fans nationwide. This collaboration creates attractive commercial opportunities and reflects our shared ambition to grow the sport by making the biggest events more accessible than ever before.”
The agreement also includes expanded shoulder programming across TNT Sports platforms such as Bleacher Report and House of Highlights, along with additional content on truTV, including weigh ins, press conferences, and original features.
Both companies will collaborate on cross promotion, marketing, and advertising sales, aiming to create a unified ecosystem for fans and commercial partners alike.
The partnership marks a pivotal step in the evolution of boxing distribution in the United States, blending accessibility, premium content, and multi platform reach in a way that could reshape how the sport is consumed in the years ahead.
