Devin Haney Promotions signs agreement with DAZN
DAZN have announced that they have signed “an exclusive multi-fight agreement” with Devin Haney Promotions.
The announcement was made via press release and social media on Friday. It will see Haney (33-0, 15 KOs, 1 NC), who currently holds the WBO welterweight world title, fight exclusively on DAZN. The exact nature of the deal, such as the number of fights it entails, was not disclosed in the announcement.
This is not the first time DAZN have signed such a deal. The streaming platform announced a partnership with Takeover Promotions LLC earlier this year, a deal that sees Teófimo López fight exclusively on DAZN.
Devin Haney to fight exclusively on DAZN
“I’m at a point in my career where I want the biggest challenges and the fights the fans want to see,” said Haney in the press release. “I’m excited to partner with DAZN. This agreement removes any doubt or uncertainty about my ability to make the major fights in boxing. I’m in position to fight anyone, and I’m focused, motivated and ready for whoever is next.”
“Devin has proven that he belongs on boxing’s biggest stages,” said Britton Hardin, Head of Boxing, North America at DAZN in the same press release. “He is an elite champion, a proven headliner and one of the most influential figures shaping the future of the sport. This partnership creates the opportunity to deliver the marquee matchups fans want while bringing the next defining phase of Devin’s career to DAZN’s global audience.”
“Building Devin Haney Promotions into a global championship brand has been a long-term vision of ours, and this partnership marks an important milestone in that journey,” said Bill Haney, who manages his son Devin. “We developed Devin from the ground up into an undisputed champion, a three-division world champion and one of boxing’s elite global attractions. Now, alongside DAZN, we can apply that same blueprint to growing the DHP roster, developing future champions and delivering elite events on the global stage.”
With Haney now signing an exclusive agreement with DAZN, it may not be long before his next bout gets officially announced.
