Anthony Joshua explains why he left Sky Sports for DAZN for Oleksandr Usyk rematch

Anthony Joshua claims DAZN's "vision and passion" convinced him to ditch Sky Sports ahead of his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

Joshua, who will earn more than £100million from the move, has signed a long-term deal with the streaming service which will see his fights broadcast on the platform across the world. He will also become a global brand ambassador as well as a special advisor to, and shareholder in, DAZN Group.

Joshua, who is due to face Usyk for a second time in Saudi Arabia on August 20, said: “I am entering a new phase in my career with a new training environment, new coaches and now a new broadcaster. Negotiations at this level take time so I am pleased to have it all wrapped up and now I can fully focus on giving the fans and DAZN what they want, knockouts in the glamour division.
