Anthony Joshua looks set to ditch Sky Sports and sign a new lucrative TV deal with streaming service DAZN.
The British star is expected to face Oleksandr Usyk in a mega-money rematch in Saudi Arabia this summer. Throughout his heavyweight career, Sky Sports have broadcast his fights in the UK with many of his recent events staged on their pay-per-view platform.
But his contract with the broadcasting giant expired following his first meeting with Usyk last September and according to The Sun, Joshua's UK broadcasting rights have been subject to a bidding war ever since. Joshua's long-term promoter Eddie Hearn moved his Matchroom Boxing stable to DAZN after being handed a lucrative deal to tempt him away from Sky Sports last year.
