DAZN announces three new boxing shows for 2021

DAZN and Matchroom have announced three premium fight nights to add to its schedule, live and worldwide on DAZN. On October 16th: Former four-weight world ruler Mikey Garcia returns to action against European junior welterweight champion Sandor Martin at Chukchansi Park in Fresno, CA. On  October 30th: WBC interim heavyweight champion Dillian Whyte faces Swedish fighter Otto Wallin, live from The O2 in London. On December 18th: Heavyweights Joseph Parker and Derek Chisora rematch at the AO Arena in Manchester, England.
 
First, former four-division champion Mikey Garcia (40-1, 30 KOs) is back in action on Saturday October 16th at Chukchansi Park in Frenso, CA as he tackles European 140-pound champion Sandor Martin (38-2, 13 KOs). Garcia steps through the ropes for the first time since defeating Jessie Vargas in February 2020 and the California man welcomes Martin to his home state, with Martin coming into the fight on the back of two successful defenses of his European strap. 
 
Two weeks later, ‘The Body Snatcher’ Dillian Whyte (28-2, 19 KOs) returns to the ring on Saturday, October 30th, at The O2 in London, facing off against Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin (21-1-0-1, 14 KOs). The Brixton native avenged his previous defeat with a revenge stoppage of veteran Alexander Povetkin to reclaim the WBC interim title. Wallin continues his good form coming into the fight, having beaten Dominic Breazeale and Travis Kauffman after a unanimous decision loss against two-time World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury. The event will be live worldwide on DAZN.
 
And, on Saturday, December 18th, Joseph Parker (29-2, 21 KOs) faces off against the mercurial Brit Derek Chisora (32-11, 23 KOs) in a rematch of their twelve-round war in May 2021. Parker, the former WBO heavyweight champion, has tallied five straight wins since losing to Dillian Whyte. Derek ‘War’ Chisora is looking to bounce back after losing by split decision against Parker and by unanimous decision against Oleksandr Usyk in October 2020. The event will be live worldwide on DAZN (with the exception of New Zealand and Samoa).
 
Full card details will be released soon.
