Anthony Joshua to earn more than £100million from new TV deal

Anthony Joshua DAZN Oleksandr Usyk Sky Sports Eddie Hearn Matchroom Sport

British former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is set to confirm that he has left his deal with Sky Sports to join lucrative streaming service DAZN ahead of his world title rematch with Oleksandr Usyk this summer, according to reports.

DAZN have assumed the role of the exciting, new and influential player in this current digital era within the sports entertainment market. Joshua has fought on Sky Sports for the entirety of his career, with promoter Eddie Hearn previously securing an exclusive deal with the broadcaster to the Brit’s fights.

However, Hearn has now negotiated a £100million-per-year deal with DAZN after Joshua’s deal with Sky Sports expired after his clash with Usyk at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September. The Watford-born star has been the subject of a bidding war since, but he is set to join forces with DAZN starting immediately with his Usyk rematch.
