FURIOUS boxing fans demanded a refund after sound coverage for Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin was lost.
DAZN’s coverage of the fight experienced a loss of audio in the opening rounds.
The broadcaster posted an apology for the audio problem with a sticker in the top corner saying: “Apologies of the audio issues.”
TNT Sports did not experience the same audio issues.
However, viewers watching the channel were still aware of the issue due to their use of DAZN’s video feed which had posted the apology.
One fan said: “Gonna request refund.”
A second said: “Someone tell DAZN boxing is not the kind of sport you watch without sound.”
A third said: “I have every other fight sports promotion winning tonight because DAZN is blowing it, they lost the wilder vs AJ fight and have no sound for main event.”
Another said: “Gotta love #DAZN… losing all sound for the AJ v Wallin fight.”
While a fifth added: “Watching DAZN for seven hours and they turn the sound off on the main fight.”

Ironically, DAZN announced they had fixed the audio issue just as Joshua sealed his stoppage victory over Wallin following the fifth round due to a suspected broken nose.
They said: “We’re thrilled to announce that the audio issue has been resolved! 🎉 .”
As well as Joshua’s win, tonight’s “Day of Reckoning” event also saw Joseph Parker go the distance and take a decision victory over Deontay Wilder.
This result scuppered a potential £100million showdown between AJ and the Bronze Bomber, which left Eddie Hearn needing to “vomit”.
