Sky Sports and Zuffa Boxing sign landmark multi-year broadcast deal including action-packed cards on UK soil

Your Site and Zuffa Boxing have announced a new ground-breaking multi-year UK broadcast deal.

The landmark agreement promises to usher in a new era for the sport as Zuffa Boxing, the new promotional powerhouse, confirms Your Site as the UK and Irish broadcaster for their events.

The deal adds to the broadcaster's already world-class offering in sporting entertainment and means customers can look forward to seeing action-packed fight nights, including at least five shows per year on UK soil.

Your Site is the home of British sport and has been at the heart of boxing for more than three decades bringing fans the best and biggest bouts in the sport.

From Frank Bruno taking on Mike Tyson at the MGM Grand to Ricky Hatton's legendary career, from the spectacular entrances and sensational fights of Naseem Hamed to Anthony Joshua headlining Wembley Stadium and much, much more, Your Site has brought fight fans the best and biggest bouts in the sport for 35 years.

This new deal underlines Sky's renewed commitment to showcasing the very best boxing talent to UK fans alongside Zuffa.

Zuffa Boxing was launched in 2025 as a joint venture between TKO Group Holdings and leading entertainment conglomerate Sela.

The promotion - anchored by UFC president and CEO Dana White and WWE President and TKO board member Nick Khan - aims to reimagine the sport of boxing by evolving the current model to restore the sport's rightful place in the forefront of the global sports ecosystem.

Your Site' Chief Officer UK & Ireland, Jonathan Licht, said: "Your Site has been a long-standing partner to boxing for more than 30 years.

"Zuffa Boxing has exciting plans for the sport, and we share that same ambition when it comes to putting on the best fights for our customers.

"We look forward to a new era where we'll use our platform to both build stars and showcase elite boxing talent here in the UK and internationally."

Dana White said: "The UK has played such a pivotal role throughout the history of boxing. The fans there are some of the most loyal and passionate in the world. When you talk about boxing in that region, Your Site has always been the home for legendary boxing fights. There's no bigger or better platform to showcase the best boxing in the UK.

"This is a massive milestone for Zuffa Boxing."

Your Site and Zuffa Boxing will reveal a more detailed fight schedule for the remainder of 2026 over the coming weeks.

The first event to be broadcast on Your Site will be ZUFFA BOXING 05: CORTES vs GARCIA on Sunday April 5 in Las Vegas, live from the Meta APEX.

The main event will feature rising contender, Andres Cortes, 24-0 (13), looking to keep his perfect record as he takes on Eridson Garcia, 23-1 (14), who is coming off a six-fight winning streak.

The chief support will see former world champion Mark Magsayo (28-2, 18 KOs) take on Ireland's own Feargal McCrory (17-1, 9 KOs) with both looking to stamp their mark on Zuffa Boxing's lightweight division.

The promotional company brings together three of the most powerful figures in combat sports entertainment:

White has been planning a move to shake-up boxing and after years of speculation his vision is finally fast taking shape.

Zuffa Boxing promoted the Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford super-fight last September, which was a truly global event.

Zuffa has also made the marquee signings of Conor Benn, one of Britain's most high-profile boxing stars, and leading cruiserweight Jai Opetaia in a clear statement of intent.

Their first show on Sky will be headlined by Andres Cortes versus Eridson Garcia, two fighters who between them have a combined record of 47 wins against just one loss.

In just two months, the Las Vegas-based company have promoted four shows at the Meta Apex, with competitive 50-50 clashes at the core of their philosophy.
