DAZN simply took the wheel. No extra ready round for promoters to cease bickering. No extra bouncing between platforms to catch one respectable combat a month. They’ve shoved Queensberry and Matchroom below the identical roof and unloaded a boxing schedule that leaves zero room for complaints.

It kicks off on Saturday, 5 April, with Queensberry’s debut as a DAZN unique. Joe Joyce fights Filip Hrgovic in a correct heavyweight collision. Adeleye faces Jeamie TKV for the British Heavyweight Title. That’s not a warm-up — that’s a press release.
Saturday, 12 April, Matchroom steps in. Jaron “Boots” Ennis lastly will get an actual unification bout, going through off in opposition to Eimantas Stanionis. That’s not a filler combat. That’s top-level welterweight motion with belts on the road. Matchroom’s additionally coming off stable outings from Dalton Smith, Andy Cruz, and Diego Pacheco — no fluff, simply outcomes.
Saturday, 26 April, it will get private. Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn. Years of delays, failed drug exams, back-and-forth nonsense — all ending in a single ring. The undercard? Former champs Liam Smith and Chris Billam-Smith. If somebody pulls out, it’s on them. If all of them present up, it’s a correct warfare.
And that’s simply the warm-up for Cinco de Mayo weekend, the place DAZN goes into full overkill mode.
Friday, 2 Might, Instances Sq.:

Canelo is perhaps the money cow, however Scull’s undefeated and coming to wreck the get together.
