Streaming giant Netflix has reportedly entered the race to secure broadcasting rights for a potential blockbuster heavyweight showdown between British boxing stars Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. The bid signals Netflix’s growing interest in live sports content as it looks to expand beyond its traditional streaming offerings.
Discussions surrounding a Joshua vs. Fury fight have intensified in recent weeks, with promoters working to finalize terms for what could be one of the biggest fights in boxing history. If the deal goes through, Netflix would join a competitive market alongside traditional sports broadcasters like Sky Sports, DAZN, and ESPN, all of whom are expected to vie for the rights to the fight.
Netflix has been increasingly investing in sports content, having previously secured deals for Formula 1’s Drive to Survive and tennis documentary Break Point. Acquiring the rights to a high-profile boxing event would mark a major shift for the platform as it explores live event broadcasting.
While no official fight agreement has been signed yet, speculation continues to grow about a potential mega-fight later this year. Boxing fans around the world will be watching closely to see if Netflix can outbid its rivals and bring the much-anticipated clash to its global audience.
