Ben Shalom’s Boxxer has signed a new broadcast deal with the BBC, following its departure from Sky Sports.

Reports indicate that Boxxer events will begin airing on the BBC later this year, with fights available on BBC Two or Three, iPlayer, and the BBC Sport website. The upcoming schedule will be made clearer moving forward, as Boxxer makes the transition after four years with Sky Sports. Sky decided not to renew its four-year deal with Boxxer, while Boxxer’s partnership with NBC Universal/Peacock also ended this year.

“Bringing professional boxing back to primetime BBC television, free-to-air, and to our extensive digital platforms is an exciting moment for us and for boxing fans. Boxing is a sport that we know deeply resonates with younger audiences and this deal with BOXXER enables us to showcase the next generation of British fighters – delivering top-tier national boxing moments to all audiences, wherever and however they want it,” Alex Kay-Jelski (Director of BBC Sport)

“Partnering with the BBC to deliver big-time British boxing on Saturday night TV is a historic moment. We’re proud to bring the most entertaining British fighters to the biggest possible audience. This huge platform will give our fights the exposure they deserve and helps us take the sport to huge new audiences,” Ben Shalom |(Founder and CEO of BOXXER)
