The global partnership between Matchroom Sport and Riyadh Season aims to strengthen boxing worldwide.
Matchroom Sport has announced a spectacular new partnership with Riyadh Season, covering a range of major international events in boxing, darts and snooker. This partnership marks another milestone in the global expansion of Matchroom Boxing – one of the leading promotions companies in world sport.
In the past, the collaboration with Riyadh Season has already produced some of the most spectacular boxing nights – both in Saudi Arabia and worldwide. From Anthony Joshua and Dmitry Bivol to Jai Opetaia and Conor Benn, top stars have been in the spotlight. On November 15, the highly anticipated rematch between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr. will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London – live and exclusively on DAZN under the motto “Unfinished Business”.
Just one week later, on November 22 in Riyadh, Pound-for-Pound superstar Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez meets Fernando “Puma” Martinez for the unified super-bantamweight titles, including the prestigious Ring Magazine Belt, as part of the spectacular “Night of Champions” fight card headlined by Anthony Yarde and David Benavidez.
His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), said: “Riyadh Season is synonymous with global events of the highest quality and Matchroom Sport has been a key partner in many of these highlights. We look forward to building on this relationship and working together to present even more spectacular tournaments and shows.”
Matchroom CEO Eddie Hearn added: “This partnership with Riyadh Season is another great step for boxing. We thank His Excellency Turki Alalshikh for his continued support – not only in boxing but also in snooker and darts. The future promises many unforgettable nights for sports fans worldwide.”
