DAZN, the leading global sports streaming
platform, has announced a new global partnership with
Snapchat that will give fans worldwide nonstop boxing
content year-round, from behind-the-scenes access and clips, to fight
highlights and original features, to other build-up content ahead of
DAZN’s blockbuster schedule of fights. This marks the first time sports fans
globally will be able to enjoy weekly boxing content on Snapchat, all year
long.
New show “DAZN Fight Week” will premiere on
Snapchat’s Discover platform globally on August 31, with a minimum of
18 new episodes throughout the next year hitting in the weeks leading up to the
biggest fights. It all kicks off with the upcoming September 4 event featuring
a rematch in which British warrior Josh Warrington will look to exact revenge
against Mexican sensation Mauricio Lara, while earlier in the night, Irish star
Katie Taylor will defend her undisputed crown against determined American
underdog Jennifer Han in the co-main event.
“DAZN Fight Week” will include recurring
segments including:
- “The Champ is Here” –
ranking the greatest boxing champions of all time
- "Fight ZN" – boxing
news show including updates on fights, developments from fight camps and
recaps of weigh-ins
- “Talk Your ****!" –
compilation of the best and most dramatic sound bites and trash talk from
the full fight week
In addition, DAZN will be introducing a
year-long weekly Highlights Show on Snapchat – featuring nonstop
highlights around the top matchups, fighters, and moments, every single week
for a minimum of 52 episodes over 52 weeks. This not only solidifies DAZN as
the go-to source for everything boxing, but further cements the sports streamer
as the global home of boxing across all of its ever-growing
suite of channels – including partners like Snapchat that reach a younger
and highly-engaged audience.
Finally, “DAZN Fight Night” will premiere on
September 4, a special feature around the most anticipated events featuring
live-updating highlights from the night, behind-the-scenes footage, exclusive
access to the fighters themselves, and a complete recap of fight week.
The new global deal comes after a successful
short-term U.S. boxing content partnership in 2019, which engaged millions of
Snapchatters. Building on that initial success and DAZN’s recent global
expansion, this enhanced partnership will see at least 70 episodes available
for fans worldwide throughout the next year.
“This partnership is another example of DAZN
constantly striving to reach fresh audiences in innovative ways, as part of a
wider mission to engage new fans on the channels they frequent most while
growing the sport of boxing globally,” said Joseph Markowski, EVP of DAZN.
“Snapchat is the perfect partner for DAZN to team up with in order to tap into
a new generation of potential boxing fans, who we cannot wait to see instantly
fall in love with the sport. Whether it’s fight night highlights, behind-the-scenes
videos or ranking the greats, these new shows will be the place for
Snapchatters to follow the best of boxing worldwide.”
