Kayo Sports celebrates Matchroom Boxing partnership at Melbourne launch

Kayo Sports and Matchroom Boxing officially celebrated a new broadcast agreement with an exclusive launch event in Melbourne.

The partnership follows DAZN and Matchroom Boxing signing a five-year global deal in February, securing a year-round schedule of more than 30 world-class boxing events annually.

DAZN has since acquired Foxtel Group, extending the global agreement to bring seven major Matchroom Boxing events to Australian audiences on Kayo Sports and Foxtel each year.

"Securing these rights and this partnership with Matchroom Boxing ensures that Kayo Sports remains the undisputed home of sport's biggest moments," said Adam Howarth, Foxtel Group's executive of commercial sport.

"Bringing global Matchroom events to our shores each year is a massive win for our audience and reinforces our commitment to delivering premium, world-class boxing to Australian fans."

The partnership officially kicks off today  with live coverage of Nicolson v Turner starting at 7:00pm AEST on Kayo Sports.
