DAZN’s upcoming Harlem Eubank vs David Papot event will introduce a range of up-to-date technologies aimed at enhancing the viewing experience both inside and outside London’s Copper Box Arena.

This combat sports-specific technology provides fans with real-time performance analysis measuring the power, speed, combinations and fatigue of both fighters when they start fighting on July 18.

Such data will be presented on Copper Box screens during the 12-round welterweight bout, while DAZN viewers will be able to enjoy the AI-personalized broadcast from the comfort of their homes.

Fans can also watch Matrix-style volumetric replays, which allow highlight shots to be viewed from any angle, providing a full 360-degree perspective of the action.

All of this is set to be brought to market by Gladius, whose creative digital gum shield technology aims to reveal the exact impact points and force of each impact.

Additionally, the company aims to further enhance the overall fan experience with an AI audio system designed to deliver crystal-clear sounds throughout the Copper Box Arena.

In a press release, Gladius CEO Oliver Hickey said the technology will radically change the way we consume combat sports.

“This is the beginning of a up-to-date era in combat sports. Gladius creates a single, trusted source of truth by intelligently combining video, volumetric capture, audio and wearable sensors.

“On July 18, fans will see the power, speed and power of every hit in real time with Matrix-style volumetric replays and insights that turn raw action into compelling understanding.

“We believe we are building the ultimate infrastructure for the future of sports.”

Regardless of the technology used, Eubank must continue to focus on Papota, who is out defeat on points to former world champion Liam Paro.

During the gala, which is a joint promotion of MF Pro and Neilson Boxing, Kieran Molloy and Sean Noakes will fight in another intriguing welterweight fight.

Dave Allen presented a up-to-date Moses Itauma vs Filip Hrgovic match prediction, this time expressing his belief that the fight will end twice as speedy.

The two heavyweights will face off on August 29 at London’s O2 Arena, with many expecting Itauma to face the toughest task of his career to date.

While the 21-year-old has yet to prove himself at a world-class level, he has shown signs of real, world-class potential looked particularly impressive against Jermaine Franklin, who scored a devastating fifth-inning score in March.

However, Hrgovic is believed to be much more experienced and talented than Franklin, who is known more for his durability than anything else.

Not only is Hrgovic a long-term customer, but the Olympic bronze medalist has no shortage of amateur pedigree and professional experience.

The Croatian’s only professional defeat came against Daniel Dubois in June 2024, when he tried strenuous but was ultimately stopped in the eighth round.

Since then, he has scored over Joe Joyce and David Adeleye, most recently suffering a three-round loss to veteran heavyweight Allen last month.

Taking to social mediaAllen insisted Hrgovic is the “real deal” but believes Itauma will make a powerful statement.

“I think it’s an amazing fight – you have a proven world-class fighter against probably a guy who will be ‘the man’ for the next 15 years.

“Hrgovic is good – he really is. He’s really good. But I think Itauma [is] too speedy for him. Maybe too speedy and too fresh. I think Itauma will win early.”

While Hrgovic is widely considered a top-10 heavyweight, it can be argued that Itauma is more talented and almost certainly has a higher ceiling than his 34-year-old opponent.

Oscar De La Hoya criticized Zuffa Boxing on Saturday while discussing a potential September 12 fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn.

“The problem I have with Zuffa is that everything they touch, whenever they get involved in it, it’s always a large damn problem,” De La Hoya said during DAZN’s Golden Boy on Saturday night.

“Ryan Garcia has a promotional contract with Golden Boy and Ryan fights on DAZN. Zuffa Boxing, all they do is interfere and make things tough. The bottom line is Ryan Garcia wants to fight on September 12, but he will fight on DAZN.”

Garcia and Benn have been linked to the September 12 fight. Previous reports indicated that the event may be promoted by Zuffa Boxing and distributed on Paramount+.

“If the opponent is Conor Benn, so be it, but we all have to work together to make the fight happen,” De La Hoya said. “There are promoters for a reason, there are contracts for a reason, but when Zuffa gets involved there is always a large problem.”

Golden Boy recently issued a cease and desist letter to Zuffa Boxing in connection with its promotion of Garcia.

Ryan won the WBC welterweight title with a victory over Mario Barrios on February 21. Benn’s last fight was on April 11, defeating Regis Prograis in London.

Garcia remains under contract with Golden Boy. De La Hoya reiterated Saturday that any future fight involving Garcia must be coordinated by the company and broadcast on DAZN.
