Golden Boy, the boxing promotion run by Oscar De La Hoya, is bringing DAZN together with a linear TV network to get boxing on TV in the New York metro area. Thursday Night Fights, a monthly boxing series that is regularly streamed on DAZN will now air on MSG Networks.
MSG will carry the full three hour programming block that is Thursday Night Fights. That includes two hours of live boxing and the one hour studio show, Ring Report.
“We are delighted to provide boxing fans with broader access to this new series by partnering with a regional sports network industry leader such as MSG Networks,” De La Hoya said in a press release. “MSG Networks provides a platform for us to continue bringing exciting fights to our fanbase in the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania areas.”
Thursday Night Fights will make its MSG Networks debut on June 13 with a card headlined by Seniesa “Superbad” Estrada defending her WBC Silver Light Flyweight Title against Gretchen “Chen Chen” Abaniel in Los Angeles. MSG Networks will carry select cards each month through the end of the year.
