      Xu Can vs Leigh Wood: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel for featherweight Fight Camp clash

      by

      And instead, the co-main event between Chinese sensation Xu Can and Nottingham’s Leigh Wood for the WBA ‘Regular’ featherweight title will fill in.

      Xu Can’s big clash with the tough and hard-hitting Leigh Wood will take place on Saturday, July 31.
      The fight will take place in Brentwood, Essex at Matchroom HQ in the back garden.
      There will be around 300 fans in attendance at the bout, with those supporters having shelled out £750 each for a ticket.

      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      For the first time ever, a boxing event held in the UK will be shown on DAZN, which launched in Great Britain back in January.
      Promoter Eddie Hearn and Matchroom left Sky Sports joined up with DAZN UK on a five-year multi-million pound deal.

      What has been said?
      Promoter Eddie Hearn said: “He’s quite a cheeky character. You have one volume puncher, Can Xu.
      “We have Leigh Wood, we don’t really know how good this guy is. He came up short against [James] Dickens.
      “But he can punch. He’s taken short money, he’s taken late notice fights and on Saturday night a Brit gets a chance to become world champion [the WBA world featherweight championship].
      “This guy financially could completely change his life on Saturday.” More

      Conor Benn vs Adrian Granados: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel for welterweight Fight Camp clash

      by

      CONOR BENN is back in the ring this weekend as he takes on welterweight veteran contender Adrian Granados at Fight Camp. Benn is currently on a warpath and heading towards a world title shot, having beaten recent tests Sebastian Formella and Samuel Vargas with relative ease.

      🥊 Watch Benn vs. Granados live on DAZN for £1.99 🥊

      Granados, who has lost to both Adrien Broner and Danny Garcia before, is likely to be Benn’s next experienced scalp.
      But the 24-year-old can’t be too complacent, or he’ll be risking the potential to be Britain’s next big star in boxing.
      When is Benn vs Granados?

      Benn’s big clash with the tough Granados will take place on Saturday, July 31.

      What have they said?
      “Do I believe I can win a world title? 100 per cent,” Benn has said.
      “There will always be critics. There will always be naysayers. It’s impossible for them because that’s their mindset. That’s why they sit on social media projecting their faults.
      “I don’t think anything is impossible. If I wanted to switch and do whatever it is — it could be absolutely anything — I’ll make it successful. It’s not just boxing. It’s my mindset, it’s what I do.
      “I’ve had a target on my back ever since I turned pro because my dad is Nigel Benn. It’s as simple as that. ‘The Dark Destroyer,’ the legend.
      “People like to call me silver spoon, but I’ve chosen the hardest sport in the world. I don’t have to be here. I have everything to lose.
      “I’m a winner – all round. Of course I want the big fights. I want to be the best fighter in Britain – which I believe I am. The rankings don’t lie and I’m number one.” More

      DAZN’s star-studded boxing team revealed with Maya Jama and Laura Woods joining Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom

      by

      DAZN have revealed their star-studded team to lead their new boxing coverage, including Laura Woods, Maya Jama and Mike Costello.The new faces of boxing broadcasting in the UK have shown their ambition by assembling an impressive team of pundits, hosts and commentators.

      Among the biggest names are ex-cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew and ‘the voice of boxing’ Costello, with the BBC veteran leading the commentary.
      Sky Sports and talkSPORT star Woods, BBC personality Jama, Darren Barker, Chris Lloyd and Andy Lee were also named as part of the elite team on Monday.
      On her new role, Woods said she was ‘excited’ to be part of something ‘special’.
      Jama added her excitement at being part of the ‘game-changing’ crew on her ‘new adventure’, with Costello ‘looking forward to being the voice ringside’.
      Bellew praised DAZN’s ‘genius’ for bringing in Costello, while admitting he can’t wait to get to work alongside the ‘A team’ of boxing broadcasting.
      Lloyd tweeted it was ‘absolutely mad to be a part of this team, what a gig’, while Barker wrote that he was ‘absolutely buzzing’.
      On Lloyd and Barker’s hiring, Matchroom chief Eddie Hearn said: “These two have been a breath of fresh air in the bubble.
      “They are going to be a huge part of our @DAZNBoxing @MatchroomBoxing team. Welcome.”

      Now this is a stroke of genius! 👏🔥👏— Tony Bellew (@TonyBellew) June 28, 2021

      Lee added he was also ‘looking forward’ to his new gig.
      Hearn had previously revealed his Matchroom team would leave Sky Sports to join DAZN on a five-year deal believed to £100million.
      At the time, Hearn claimed: “Today is a monumental day for our business, our fighters and the sport of boxing in the UK.
      “Our aim is to deliver a viewing experience that is truly game-changing.”
      Hearn has already promoted major US boxing shows on DAZN, including Canelo Alvarez’s unification fight against Billy Joe Saunders in front of 70,000 fans in Texas.

      Eddie Hearn snubbed by Sky Sports in final show with broadcaster after ten years before moving to rivals DAZN

      by

      EDDIE HEARN was snubbed by Sky Sports at his last show with the broadcasters over his move to rivals DAZN.After almost a decade as their exclusive boxing promoter, bringing through superstars like Anthony Joshua and Katie Taylor, the Matchroom boss has taken his stable to the streaming app in a five-year, £100million move.
      Anthony Joshua promoter Eddie Hearn has signed a deal with DAZNCredit: Reuters
      A 1000-fan card in Newcastle on Saturday was the sign-off but, at the end of the broadcast, there was no slot with Hearn and no package or montage of their most iconic moments.
      Presenters Adam Smith and Johnny Nelson paid tribute to Hearn’s work but the Essex fight mogul confirmed he was blanked by the producers who are watching him take talent away from their channels.
      At the launch of his three-week summer Fight Camp, when asked why he didn’t feature on his last ever Sky show, Hearn confirmed: “I wasn’t asked to.
      “I think, at senior and executive level at Sky, our departure was met with understanding because they are aware of the size of the deal and the opportunity for us globally.
      “I do think, at production level, there were people who probably thought, ‘We are not giving Eddie any air time on Saturday’.
      “But that is alright, I never expected them to come out and glorify me when I am heading to a competitor.
      “I am going to another platform to drive up their subscribers so they probably didn’t want to give me any airtime.
      “They probably thought, ‘We have built Eddie up over the last 10 years and now he is off, so we will talk about our own new deal on Saturday’, which they did a lot of.

      Conor Benn is among the fighters Hearn has taken to DAZNCredit: The Sun
      “But it’s all fine and we thank them for the wonderful time. Without them we wouldn’t be here and vice versa.”
      Hearn has already convinced rising stars like Conor Benn, Joshua Buatsi and Fabio Wardley to leave Sky and join his British boxing revolution online.
      Joshua is not part of the deal but Hearn is working on getting Dillian Whyte nailed down to his new broadcasters.
      He revealed: “Dillian is potentially going on our end-of-August show in America.
      “We would like him to box twice this year, I think his next one might be slightly smaller than he is used to, because every other fight he is in seems to be a 50-50 war.
      “We are just finalising that and we hope to announce that in the next week.”
      Dillian is happy being with us and I expect to see him box twice this year on DAZN.Eddie Hearn

      When asked if Hearn and subscription service DAZN were in a direct fight with Sky offering Whyte an alternative fight, he said: “Dillian is a pay-per-view fighter with Sky so he will have that opportunity.
      “But that is not what we or DAZN want.
      “In all our talks Dillian is happy being with us and I expect to see him box twice this year on DAZN.”

      And he has now confirmed that Matchroom’s schedule will comprise of 12 ‘normal fight night shows’, along with four ‘premium events’ and their NXTGEN shows where they provide a platform to rising stars.
      Hearn, who already promotes US shows on DAZN, also spoke about how he plans to change boxing when it comes to the production of his events.
      Speaking on the Matchroom Radio Podcast, he said: “We’re not just gonna migrate the Sky team into DAZN.
      “We’re gonna bring in industry legends, future hall of famers, fresh talent.
      “But we’re not gonna bastardise production by trying to be ‘cool’.”

      Anthony Joshua still has an existing deal with Sky Sports despite being a Matchroom fighter.
      The unified heavyweight champion has one fight left with Sky before he will assess his options moving forward.
      Meanwhile, UK Matchroom fighters such as Dillian Whyte, Lawrence Okolie, Savannah Marshall and Callum Smith will have their next fights on DAZN – providing they remain with Hearn’s promotional team.
      DAZN is current £1.99 per month in the UK, with the price point expected to rise later this year.
