DAZN Moves to Prime Video: A Game-Changing Power Play for Boxing Fans
Published

In a move that could reshape the way boxing fans consume their favorite fights, DAZN has officially joined Amazon Prime Video in both the United States and the United Kingdom. The partnership marks a pivotal moment for sports streaming — and for boxing in particular — as one of the sport’s most active global platforms gains access to one of the world’s largest streaming audiences.
For years, DAZN has positioned itself as a “Netflix for sports,” and now, by embedding directly within Prime Video, the platform is set to bring the sweet science to a broader, more accessible audience. Simply put: boxing just got a significant boost.
A Knockout Partnership
DAZN’s integration into Prime Video gives fans instant access to over 185 live fight nights annually, featuring marquee promoters like Matchroom Boxing, Golden Boy Promotions, Queensberry, Misfits Boxing, the PFL, and BKFC. That means big-name fights, high-stakes rivalries, and global championship events can now be streamed directly from the same platform fans use for their favorite shows and movies.
Amazon’s Prime Video, already a dominant player in the streaming landscape, now brings DAZN’s sports library — more than 110,000 live events per year across 200+ markets — into its fold. For boxing fans, this is a monumental achievement. It removes friction and puts top-tier boxing alongside everyday entertainment, giving the sport a seat at the digital mainstream table.
The Real Win: Accessibility and Convenience
One of the most significant barriers to sports streaming has always been fragmentation — the need to juggle multiple subscriptions, logins, and apps. With DAZN now integrated directly into Prime Video, that problem just got solved.
Fans can subscribe to DAZN for $29.99/month in the U.S., managing their plan entirely within their existing Prime Video account. Pay-per-view events will still be available as separate purchases, but now it’s all under one roof — no extra apps, no device hopping, and no hassle. That’s a massive step toward the unified sports experience fans have been demanding.
This partnership also benefits the casual viewer. The convenience of seeing a live fight card alongside blockbuster movies or the latest series could draw in new audiences who might not have sought out DAZN independently. More eyes on the product means more potential fans for boxing — something the sport desperately needs in its fight for mainstream relevance.
More Than Just Boxing
While boxing remains DAZN’s heartbeat, this partnership opens the floodgates for a multi-sport takeover. Subscribers will also gain access to global soccer matches from Italy’s Serie A and Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League, highlights from LaLiga EA Sports, and even all 14 LIV Golf events. Add to that basketball, women’s football, Formula 1, NBA content, MotoGP, and more — DAZN is positioning itself as a sports hub that can compete with the most prominent players in the streaming industry.
For the fan who loves all sports — not just the sweet science — this integration offers a buffet of high-caliber action without having to jump between platforms.
A Signal to the Boxing Industry
This move sends a strong message to boxing’s power brokers: the sport is undergoing a major digital transformation. DAZN’s presence on Prime Video could signal a new era of accessibility, competition, and exposure — something that benefits fighters, promoters, and fans alike.
It’s no secret that boxing has struggled in recent years with fragmentation, inflated pay-per-view prices, and accessibility issues. By partnering with Amazon, DAZN gains distribution muscle and audience reach that no other combat sports platform currently enjoys. For fighters, that means potentially more eyes on their bouts and greater brand visibility. For promoters, it means a broader platform to tell stories and build stars. For fans, it’s a smoother and more cost-effective way to stay up-to-date with the action.
If executed properly, this partnership could be one of the most significant developments for the sport since the advent of streaming.
How to Subscribe
Getting started couldn’t be easier:
- Open your Prime Video app or log in through the website.
- Navigate to the “Channels” section and find DAZN.
- Subscribe for $29.99/month (U.S.) and start watching instantly.
No additional downloads or accounts are required — everything is handled directly through Prime Video.
The Bottom Line: A Win for the Fans
At the heart of it all, DAZN’s move to Prime Video represents a win for boxing fans — especially those tired of jumping through hoops to watch the fights they love. Centralized access, flexible billing, and a massive potential audience make this a pivotal development for the sport’s growth.
For long-time fight fans, this is an opportunity to see boxing get the mainstream respect it deserves. For new viewers, it’s a chance to fall in love with the sport through one of the most accessible platforms on the planet.
As streaming giants continue to battle for dominance, this collaboration shows that the fight game is still a major player in global entertainment — and that the next great knockout might just come from your Prime Video home screen.

Shakur Stevenson denies talks with Haney and calls rumors ‘Cap’
Published

April 27, 2026
“I know the fans like to get excited and could play games with you all and easily manipulate you, but this rumor is dead for the second time,” Shakur said on X, reacting to reports of his negotiations with Devin Haney. “I haven’t heard a word about it, I don’t know what they’re trying to cover up or hide, but for me and my team, we haven’t heard any nonsense.”
The denial came shortly after reports spread that Haney and Stevenson were talking about fighting, with weight believed to be a major issue slowing progress. Stevenson’s response directly challenges this version of events and leaves the status of any talks unclear.
It also highlights how quickly boxing rumors can spread when they are linked to two recognizable names. Haney and Stevenson have been mentioned in fan discussions for years, making this matchup an basic target for speculation.
For Devin Haney, the math just doesn’t add up. Why take a technical masterclass against Shakur Stevenson where the risk of looking bad or losing points is high when a $20 million-plus payout against Ryan Garcia is already scheduled for September 5 at Allegiant Stadium?
Dispatching Shakur is a hard task for anyone. Shakur’s hit-and-don’t-get-hit philosophy makes him a nightmare for fighters who rely on timing and size.
If Devin loses a 12-round decision to Shakur, he will lose the WBO welterweight title and his advantage as champion.
Ryan Garcia predicted today that the fight will not happen, posting that neither man is likely to face the other.
“There’s no way Devin would fight Shakur or vice versa. I would bet everything on it,” Ryan said on the X show.
The clearest public statement at the moment is Stevenson’s, and it is blunt: no talks, no contact, no agreement.

David Benavidez says the world champion avoids him because he felt his strength in sparring
Published

April 27, 2026
David Benavidez believes one of the sport’s flagship champions is actively avoiding him, claiming there were “plenty of opportunities” for this fight to happen.
The WBC lithe heavyweight champion is widely regarded as a top 10 pound-for-pound operator capable of significantly enhancing his legacy over the next few years.
The next opportunity to do so will come on May 2, when Benavidez will try to become a three-division world champion against WBO and WBA cruiserweight champion Gilberto Ramirez.
Regardless of the result this weekend, the 29-year-old said he will drop down to 175 pounds and enter an undisputed fight with Dmitry Bivol.
The unified lithe heavyweight champion is preparing to defend his titles against mandatory challenger Michael Eifert, who will headline the event at the UMMC Arena in Russia on May 30.
This is his first appearance since defeating Artur Beterbiev in a direct rematch, where Bivol took revenge by majority vote in February 2025.
If he wants to become a two-time undisputed king, the 35-year-old will eventually have to face Benavidez, who insists he defeated their sparring session about eight years ago.
By that time, both fighters had already played multiple rounds, and Benavidez had said Ariel Helwani that Bivol emerged from the last sparring session with significantly less confidence.
“They can say whatever they want… He felt my power up close and personal. I felt his power up close and personal too, but I overcame it. I won better in our last sparring session.”
“I won’t let it go to my head because I know I have to come extremely prepared, but that’s how I feel [sparring session] somehow it stuck in his head.
“We had a lot of opportunities to make this fight happen, but it didn’t happen, so I think that speaks for itself.”
Benavidez was promoted from “interim” to full WBC champion after Bivol vacated the belt last year, but that was mainly due to the Russian having to undergo back surgery.

David Morrell stops waiting and returns to fight on May 9
Published

Last July, Morrell was scheduled to face Smith for the WBO interim lightweight heavyweight title. Since then, the fight has dragged on through lengthy negotiations, a delayed announcement and then a cancellation when Smith pulled out of the scheduled April 18 fight due to injury. No replacement date confirmed.
This is a classic move to save your career by David Morrell. While the path to the WBO interim title with Callum Smith looked good on paper, the reality, with drawn-out negotiations, Smith’s injury-forced withdrawal from the April 18 event and zero clarity about a reschedule, quickly became a trap.
For a 28-year-old Morrell player who should be successful, waiting forever is a form of professional suicide. He is coming off a win over Imam Khataev and should be aiming for significant fights at 175 pounds. Instead, almost a year passed with no real progress. Mandatory positions can support a challenger, but they can also stall a career when the other side can’t move.
Chelli provides Morrell with rounds, classes and a paycheck, but it’s not a destination. This is a sign that Smith’s route has become unreliable.
Smith may still return this year and the WBO may still maintain order, but Morrell cannot spend his prime months on paperwork and recovery schedules that are not his own. Players lose more than dates when they remain idle. In a crowded division, they lose visibility, timing and position.
May 9 isn’t so much about Zak Chelli as it is about Morrell refusing to let 2026 slip away while others were deciding his next move.
