Queensberry Promotions lands on DAZN in multi-year broadcast rights deal
DAZN has penned a multi-year, global broadcast rights partnership with Queensbury Promotions, taking effect from April 2025.
Under the exclusive agreement, the streaming platform will provide access to major fight cards.
Queensberry, which is backed by UK promoter Frank Warren, has a star-studded stable of boxers that includes former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois, as well as Fabio Wardley, and Moses Itauma.

The deal sees DAZN strengthen its claim to be ‘the global home of boxing’ by uniting Queensbury, and Warren, on the same broadcaster as bitter rival Eddie Hearn and his Matchroom Boxing promotion, which signed a reported nine figure deal with DAZN back in 2021.
The media giant’s boxing portfolio also includes agreements with Golden Boy Promotions and Misfits.
“This is a brilliant move for our fighters and, most importantly, for the fans,” said Queensberry Promotions Founder Frank Warren.
“Their ambition and passion for the sport of boxing aligns perfectly with that of our own and we now look forward to putting on the biggest nights possible together.”
Shay Segav, DAZN Group CEO, added, “We are thrilled to welcome Queensberry Promotions to DAZN as we continue our mission to bring the best sports entertainment to fans worldwide.
“Queensberry’s reputation for delivering elite fighters and thrilling events aligns perfectly with DAZN’s commitment to innovation and growth in the sports media space.
“Together, we’re setting a new standard for boxing entertainment, and we couldn’t be more excited for what the future holds.”
The new partnership, which brings together the UK’s top players in boxing, is expected to help leading promoters pull off the best matchups in the sport.
Next month, DAZN will broadcast the heavyweight rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk on 21st December.
