In the decisive legal victory of the integrity of DAZN sports broadcast – in cooperation with the 12th player – he assured powerful court orders in Belgium, forcing both internet service providers and public operators of DNS resolving DNS block over 130 pirate streaming domains AND Five illegal IPTV platforms.
This is not just a symbolic win. This is Legally binding directive supported by € 100,000 per day in terms of penalty for non -compliance, issued by Court of Brussels Enterprise. Platforms like Cloudflare, Google and Ciscoonce perceived as inviolable numbers Formally ordered disabling access to domains that violate the DNS law – or pay the price.
Dazn hailed this move as “the first of its kind” and “real step forward” in the fight against the theft of content in Belgium.
For the first time the law is catching up – and makes illegal streaming Painful, steep and more and more in vain.
Glory, where it depends: Dazn does what the industry has avoided for years
While others complain about piracy, Dazn actually fights with it. This is not a PR feat – it is Legal enforcement strategy with international implications.
-
Dazn works in Over 200 countries.
-
Holds on Huge boxing rightsincluding many years of contracts with Matchroom boxing AND Queensberry promotions.
-
Its platform contains the highest class event in boxing, MMA and football-all threatened by freeeloaders, who believe that “illegal streaming” is a crime without a victim.
Well, it’s not. As Dazna Chief of global rights, Tom BurrowsBluntly found at the Financial Times Business of Football Summit:
“We go to a stage in which it is almost a crisis for the sports rights industry.”
“Media rights’ offers were on the basis of exclusivity, but I think there is almost an argument to say that you can no longer get exclusive rights because piracy is so bad.”
Mile stone: animated teeth blocking
What makes the authorities really rewrite is his is his Combination of animated blocking and intervention at DNS level. This means:
-
Galas, such as Proximus, Telenet, Orange Belgium and Voo He must block domains that violate the law.
-
Users going to public DN (such as cloudflare 1.1.1.1 or Google 8.8.8.8) will not find backdoorthanks to the court’s decision.
-
Cloudflare, Google and Cisco He must follow – or face everyday financial penalties € 100,000.
No appeals. No disputes. Just compatibility or punishment.
This, in combination with legal reforms in Belgium in 2022, gives the right Sholders an competent, aggressive legal framework to fight piracy in real time- Most other jurisdiction is still missing.
Let’s call it what it is: illegal streamers are parasites
For too long, those who freely send stolen content pretended to keep it to “greedy corporations”. Reality?
-
They Premiement of difficult work warriors, promoters and broadcasters.
-
They Undermining the industry itself, which they say, they love.
-
They Cowards who avoid paying 10 pounds, hiding for VPN and telegram groups.
Dazna research shows this One -third of Belgians aged 16-24 Operate illegal streams to watch football – and similar numbers probably apply to boxing. . Estimated loss? 180 million pounds a year.
When you steal streams, you don’t hold him a man – You rob fighters from their payments and kill future events.
Belgium is just the beginning
With this successful Belgian matter as a precedent, other countries should follow in their footsteps. We already see:
-
Irresparted cooperation from the website of internet service providers.
-
Public blocking support from telecommunications directors.
-
Anti -pirate units supported by the government Working with senders.
And now when Immense technological guards are on the hook – Never more excuses. DNS operators can no longer pretend to be neutrality when their services are habits Avoid legal enforcement.
Final verdict: illegal streaming just got his day in court – and lost
The pirate community – emboldened over the years by loose enforcement and technical gaps – was finally settled. Dazna victory in Belgium shows what will happen when The broadcasters stop asking nicely and start using the right to fight.
Is illegal streaming dead? Not yet.
But thanks to the management, Dazna finally bleeds.

Frank Warren says Tyson Fury will do what Daniel Dubois did to Joshua

Frank Warren believes Tyson Fury will not only beat Anthony Joshua when the long-awaited heavyweight clash finally happens, but also stop him.
The All-British clash is scheduled for November, after a delay from its earlier summer date. Warren confirmed that Fury signed a contract for the fight in January, and both men are expected to undergo interim fights before the fight becomes official.
When asked how he sees the fight developing, Warren made it clear he expected Fury to win and pointed to Joshua’s knockout loss to Daniel Dubois as a major factor.
“I think Tyson will win,” Warren told Secondsout, predicting a Tyson Fury knockout over Joshua.
“I think Tyson will stop him.
“Did you see him fight Daniel Dubois? That gives me that confidence. I was sure Daniel Dubois would do it and he did it, and I’m sure Tyson will do the same in brief order, no matter what catches him.”
Earlier in the interview, Warren also suggested that Joshua was still feeling the effects of the Dubois defeat.
“He has the specter and cloud of what happened when he fought Daniel Dubois hanging over him. So, you know, he’s vulnerable if he gets caught now,” Warren said.
Joshua is scheduled to return on July 25 against Kristian Pregna, while Fury is scheduled to fight his own warm-up fight before November. Warren said the location for the proposed blockbuster has yet to be determined, though he confirmed the fight remains signed and will likely take place later this year, provided both heavyweights win their fights.

David Benavidez won the WBA and WBO cruiserweight world titles with his last fight, and the “Mexican Monster” may add to his collection in the future after one of the world champions was ordered to fight him under the threat of being stripped of his belt.
Last month I moved up from light heavyweight and dethroned Gilberto Ramirez in sensational styleBenavidez now holds the WBA (regular) and WBC featherlight heavyweight world titles, as well as his recently won unified cruiserweight crown.
As a result, the 29-year-old must decide whether he should return to the featherlight heavyweight scene or stay in the cruiserweight division, where he put in arguably the best performance of his career last time out after tuning out his fight with Jai Opetaia.
However, Benavidez was also named the WBC cruiserweight mandatory challenger and was ordered to fight WBC cruiserweight champion Noel Mikaelian, another who has been linked to a fight with Opetaia.
If Mikaelian refuses to defend the title against Benavidez, the WBC president announced in an interview for the WBC magazine that he would strip the Armenian of the belt. Boxing Scene.
“The WBC order is Mikaelian against Benavidez. That’s all. If he fights again, he will waive his obligations to the WBC.”
“[There is no deadline] at this time. I will be talking to different managers. This is the highest priority. I look forward to making sure that happens.”
If Mikaeilian decides to continue the fight with Opetaia and thus lose the world title, it can be expected that Polish-born interim champion Michał Cieślak will benefit. Either he will be elevated to full world champion and ordered to make his first defense against Benavidez, or he will be included in a vacant belt fight against the three-division world champion.
