Streaming service DAZN has bought a host of European rights to this weekend’s massive heavyweight rematch – Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury II.
Despite being squeezed out of the US market by FOX and ESPN’s Pay-Per-View platforms, DAZN, which boasts the number one sports app in the world, has snapped up several territories they already have access to.
German, Austrian, Spanish, Swiss and Italian boxing fans will be able to view the clash via their DAZN subscription.
Wilder vs Fury II takes place in Las Vegas. It is expected to break PPV barriers on Saturday night.
In the UK, where DAZN plans to launch in the next two years, BT Sport Box Office holds the exclusivity for the event.
Despite being locked out on the major stages, DAZN has seemingly done all it can to maximize its own output on Wilder vs Fury II.
“We are thrilled to bring this heavyweight clash to five of our markets,” Jacopo Tonoli, the chief commercial officer of DAZN Group, stated. “Both Wilder and Fury are exceptionally entertaining fighters. They will put on a show to remember for our subscribers in Las Vegas on 22 February.
“DAZN is proud to bring boxing fans the best fights across all weight divisions as part of our flexible and accessible offering.”
