DAZN and TNT Sports have announced a new monthly boxing series called 'The Fight' that will launch on July 4. The series will air on TNT Sports in the US and stream globally on DAZN, featuring championship fights and high-level matchups tied to DAZN's relationships with major promoters. Both companies will also co-produce studio coverage, with shoulder programming planned around each event.

Why it matters

This new partnership between DAZN and TNT Sports signals a push to expand boxing's reach across both traditional television and streaming platforms in the United States, providing fans with more access to top-level fights and programming.

The details

The opening main event is expected to feature Abdullah Mason defending his lightweight title against Joe Cordina in Cleveland. Mason (20-0, 17 KOs) would be making the first defense of the WBO belt he won in November, while Cordina (19-1, 9 KOs) has moved up to lightweight and won two fights since losing to Anthony Cacace. The matchup would pair a young champion early in his title run against a former world champion with experience at a lower weight.
