Conlan Boxing Partners with DAZN for Worldwide Exposure and Growth in Irish Boxing
Conlan Boxing’s recent partnership with DAZN has opened up new opportunities for local fighters in Belfast. The standalone Conlan Boxing show on the digital platform marked the beginning of a promising collaboration between the Belfast boxing brothers and a worldwide subscription channel that is making waves in the sport.
Previously, Conlan Boxing cards were showcased in the United States by ESPN, but with DAZN’s global reach of 60 million annual subscribers and 300 million monthly viewers, the exposure for local fighters has significantly increased. The recent ‘Breakout’ show at the Ulster Hall was a testament to the potential of this partnership.
Jamie Conlan, CEO of Conlan Boxing, expressed his excitement about the collaboration with DAZN, highlighting the opportunity to showcase new stars in Belfast and grow the conveyor belt of Irish boxing talent. The focus is not just on developing headline acts like Lewis Crocker but also on preparing the next generation of fighters like Kurt Walker and Fearghus Quinn.
The upcoming fights for Crocker and Paddy Donovan on Matchroom cards in England are highly anticipated, setting the stage for a potential showdown between the two welterweights. The Conlans are also planning a series of events, including a homecoming for Kerry’s Kevin Cronin and a ‘Prizefighter’ event later in the year.
As the boxing scene in Belfast continues to evolve, the Conlans are determined to provide top-class entertainment for fans while nurturing the talent of up-and-coming fighters. With DAZN’s support, the future looks bright for Irish boxing, and the prospect of world title action coming to Belfast is becoming increasingly likely.
