‘The Fight’ comes to TNT in Warner Brothers Discovery’s entry into boxing

The long-anticipated entry of Warner Brothers Discovery into boxing was confirmed Thursday when a new live monthly boxing series titled “The Fight” was pegged for TNT starting July 4.

Touted as an opportunity to stage “some of the biggest fights in boxing,” pulled from the DAZN network of alliances with promoters Top Rank, Matchroom, Golden Boy and Queensberry, the “new series of premium events” aims to expand “access for fans nationwide,” according to a prepared statement formally announcing the DAZN partnership.

“DAZN has earned a strong reputation within the boxing community, and this will allow TNT Sports to be a player in this growing sport – expanding the reach of these events and the moments surrounding them – to an even broader audience,” Luis Silberwasser, chairman/CEO of TNT Sports said in the statement. “This builds on a successful production and commercial partnership with DAZN to showcase the FIFA Club World Cup last summer and further expands TNT Sports’ portfolio of year-round premium sports content.”

Ali Act PASSES! Haney vs Romero Next, Roach-Zepeda title fight ordered

Boxing is moving fast — and today’s biggest stories could reshape the sport. A new version of the Muhammad Ali Act has passed the U.S. House, aiming to change fighter pay, contracts, and how promotions operate. If approved in the Senate, this could bring a completely new structure to boxing in the United States. At the same time, Bill Haney has hinted that Devin Haney vs Rolando “Rolly” Romero is next, setting up a potential welterweight clash.

The first event is slated to be new WBO lightweight titleholder Abdullah Mason’s first title defense in a Cleveland homecoming bout versus Wales’ No. 1 contender Joe Cordina, an official told BoxingScene.

The remaining card is still being assembled, the official said.

A wealth of marquee bouts are at hand as DAZN has worked this year to both extend its deals with Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions and Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing while adding Bob Arum’s Top Rank and Frank Warren’s Quennsberry, promising up to 50 fight weekends per year.

Mason is a Top Rank fighter.

“DAZN’s partnership with TNT Sports is an important new chapter for boxing in the US,” said Shay Segev, DAZN Group CEO, in the statement. “By bringing together two leaders in sports media and collaborating with the world’s top promoters, ‘The Fight’ will deliver unprecedented access to major fight nights to boxing fans nationwide. This collaboration creates attractive commercial opportunities. It reflects our innovative approach to distribution and our shared ambition to grow the sport by making the biggest events in boxing more accessible than ever before.”

Select fight nights will be presented on TNT Sports’ US networks and streamed globally on DAZN, according to the statement. Expanded studio programming and a deep commentating roster will “elevate the events for fans.”

Bleacher Report and House of Highlights will add additional content and truTV will air shoulder programming including boxer feature pieces, weigh-ins, news conferences and more.
