DAZN has added another major piece to its growing boxing portfolio, announcing a multi-year agreement with Top Rank that significantly strengthens its position as a central hub for the sport while extending the reach of one of boxing’s most established promotional brands.
The deal signals a notable shift in distribution strategy for Top Rank, which now aligns its future events and content with a platform that has aggressively pursued global boxing rights.
Under the agreement, DAZN will carry Top Rank fight cards worldwide. Subscribers will gain access to a steady pipeline of events featuring champions and rising contenders. The platform will also include Top Rank’s extensive fight library. It offers a deep archive spanning decades of boxing history. The library features many of the sport’s most memorable matchups and defining eras.
The historical catalog adds value beyond live rights. DAZN is building a content ecosystem to keep fans engaged outside fight nights. By pairing current events with legacy programming, the platform offers a more complete viewing experience. It also leans into nostalgia and storytelling. Both have proven effective in combat sports media.
“Since the day I started Top Rank 60 years ago, our focus has been simple: sign the best fighters, develop them into champions and make the best fights possible,” said Bob Arum Top Rank Chairman. “DAZN’s position as the global home of boxing makes this a natural partnership, and I’m confident it will be tremendously beneficial for fighters, fans and the future of the sport.”
Top Rank’s roster will play a prominent role in that strategy. More than three dozen fighters are expected to appear regularly on DAZN. The group includes titleholders, rising prospects, and recognizable names across multiple weight classes. That depth supports consistent programming throughout the year. It also enables high-level bouts that resonate globally.
For DAZN, the addition reinforces a broader push to dominate boxing’s fragmented media landscape. The service already offers an expansive schedule with numerous fight nights, pay-per-view events, and supporting programming. Adding Top Rank increases content volume. It also enhances credibility given the promoter’s longstanding reputation and history in the sport.
“Boxing belongs on the global stage, and this landmark partnership with Top Rank brings one of the sport’s most iconic promoters and legacies to DAZN – the global home of boxing,” said Shay Segev, DAZN Group CEO. “DAZN already delivers more premium fight nights than any entertainment platform in the world and the addition of Top Rank’s elite events and historic archive further strengthens our position. For fans, fighters and the sport, this partnership is about scale and setting a new standard for how world-class boxing is experienced.”
Details surrounding the first Top Rank event on DAZN have not yet been announced, but the partnership immediately reshapes the sport’s media landscape and sets the stage for a new phase in how boxing is distributed and consumed globally
