DAZN has today announced the launch of ‘The DAZN Boxing Show Podcast’ – its first ever global podcast that will bring fight fans around the world all the latest sweet science news, expert insights, and exclusive interviews with the biggest names both in and around the sport.
With the show debuting today (check out the first episode HERE) and new drops weekly, ‘The DAZN Boxing Show Podcast’ will be available across the most popular podcast platforms in all 200+ markets where DAZN is currently live including the U.S., Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
Notably, it is one of multiple podcasts the company is set to debut as part of its ongoing global expansion and mission to connect fans to the sports they love – anytime, anywhere.
“This first global DAZN podcast is one of many and another milestone in our journey to becoming a daily destination for sports fans, a one stop shop where they can receive news, commentary, live content and much more,” said Shay Segev, CEO, DAZN Group.
“This growing vertical will allow us to engage a whole new set of sports lovers as we broaden our reach and become the true home of sport.”
“DAZN is the global home of boxing and ‘The DAZN Boxing Show Podcast’ will be another way boxing aficionados can get all the latest news, insights, and access whenever and wherever they’d like,” said Joseph Markowski, EVP, DAZN Group.
“There are hundreds of millions of fight fans across the globe and in addition to the unparalleled events and content already available on DAZN, this podcast will open new doors and reach new audiences away from the screen with the existing prowess that is the DAZN boxing engine.”
Hosted by DAZN on-air talents Akin "Ak" Reyes and Barak Bess and featuring DAZN broadcast personalities Ade Oladipo and former pro boxer Tony Bellew, the podcast launches with comprehensive coverage ahead of an exciting few months of fights on DAZN: the crossover series premiere of MF & DAZN: X Series with British social media star and pro boxer KSI this Saturday, August 27; the long-awaited trilogy battle between two of the sport’s biggest icons Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Gennadiy “GGG” Golovkin on September 17; and the all-British blockbuster event with “Born Rivals” Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn on October 8.
DAZN’s podcast presence first took off in Germany with ‘kicker meets DAZN - The Football Podcast’ – which is now one of the top-ranked football podcasts in the world. Every Monday, it sees host Alex Schlüter and commentator Benni Zander talking to players, coaches, officials, and experts about the Bundesliga as well as international football action.
