Bob Arum’s Top Rank has found a new partner. With DAZN, boxing will once again take place regularly on the big stage.
Top Rank has apparently found a new media partner. The US promoter is on the verge of a multi-year collaboration with the streaming service DAZN. Official confirmation is expected soon. Since the end of the long-standing cooperation with ESPN in the summer of 2025, Bob Arum’s company has been operating without a fixed broadcaster. A clear structure is now emerging: DAZN will once again regularly reach a global audience in the future.
A comprehensive package with around ten to twelve events per year is apparently planned. Top Rank will also be given the opportunity to offer selected events in a pay-per-view model. The partnership is currently scheduled to start in early summer. The deal means planning security for numerous Top Rank boxers. Talents and established names will once again be able to maintain a consistent presence and continue their careers on a big stage.
With this potential entry, Top Rank joins a prominent ranks: Other major promoters are already working with DAZN. The streaming provider is thus further expanding its position in the international boxing business.
