Sky Sports And Matchroom Sport Extend Broadcast Partnership

Sky Sports and Matchroom Sport have extended their exclusive UK and Ireland broadcast partnership until 2021, offering up to 120 nights of live boxing over the next six years.

The new agreement will bring even more exclusively live access to one of the strongest stables ever seen in world boxing. Only on Sky Sports will viewers be able to follow the next generation of British boxers including James DeGale MBE, Kell Brook, Lee Selby, Kevin Mitchell, Scott Quigg, Luke Campbell MBE and Anthony Crolla. Viewers will also be able to watch gold medallist Anthony Joshua MBE, one of Britain’s most exciting sporting prospects.

Sky Sports viewers can look forward to watching 20 shows each year and follow all the build-up across its channels and digital outlets. An increased digital coverage means Sky Sports viewers can enjoy even more access to fighters, exclusive interviews with special guests and other additional content, blogs and podcasts.

Sky Sports News HQ will continue to provide all the latest news from the world of boxing plus analysis from some of the best experts in the sport. Boxing fans will also be able to enjoy special On Demand content and enjoy a wholly more interactive experience on skysports.com and other Sky Sports platforms, bringing viewers even closer to each and every fight.
