Top Rank Signs Multi-Year DAZN Deal
Top Rank has signed a multi-year deal with DAZN, placing its full roster and fight schedule on one global platform. The move removes broadcast barriers that have slowed fight-making.
The agreement adds another major promotional outfit to DAZN’s schedule, which already carries more than 185 fight nights annually. Top Rank’s roster includes Keyshawn Davis, Xander Zayas, Abdullah Mason, Emanuel Navarrete, Raymond Muratalla, O’Shaquie Foster, and Bruce Carrington, giving the platform a deeper pool of champions and contenders across multiple weight classes.
Bob Arum confirmed the direction of the deal and its intent to keep fights moving.
“Since the day I started Top Rank 60 years ago, our focus has been simple: sign the best fighters, develop them into champions and make the best fights possible,” Arum said.
The shift removes one of the main obstacles that has slowed fights in recent years. When fighters share the same broadcaster, negotiations tighten up, timelines shorten, and camps can be scheduled without network conflicts delaying agreements.
Shay Segev, DAZN Group CEO, pointed to scale as the key factor behind the move.
“Boxing belongs on the global stage, and this landmark partnership with Top Rank brings one of the sport’s most iconic promoters and legacies to DAZN,” Segev said.
With Top Rank now aligned with DAZN alongside Matchroom, Queensberry, and Golden Boy, more fighters operate under the same broadcast structure. That changes how contenders are matched, how eliminators are filled, and how quickly champions are pushed into mandatory fights.
Top Rank fighters tend to build behind structured matchmaking, with prospects stepping up through ranked opposition before reaching title level. With a single outlet, those steps can now happen with fewer delays tied to broadcast rights.
The immediate effect is simple. More fights can be made without network barriers, and contenders can be moved into position for title shots without prolonged negotiation periods.
The first Top Rank card under the new agreement has not yet been announced.
