Queensberry Promotions, the boxing promotion company founded by Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren, has revealed three shows for its spring schedule with DAZN. On May 10th at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham, England, Anthony Cacace (23-1, 8KOs) will defend his IBO 130-pound championship against local hero and former featherweight champion Leigh Wood (28-3, 17KOs). Cacace recently gave up his IBF championship. Another Nottingham favorite, light heavyweight champion Ezra Taylor (10-0, 7 KOs), will be on the card.

 

Then later in May in  Glasgow, new Queensberry signing and former undisputed world junior welterweight champion Josh Taylor (19-2, 13 KOs) makes a move up to welterweight, as he takes on former British champion Ekow Essuman (21-1, 8KOs). Also on the card, Edinburgh’s Lee McGregor (15-1-1, 11KOs) will face fellow Scot Nathaniel Collins (15-0). The Queensberry/DAZN partnership kicks off on April 5th with a heavyweight triple bill topped by Joe Joyce vs. Dillian Whyte.

 

This trio of boxing events will be broadcast exclusively on DAZN, available to fans globally, as part of DAZN’s multi-year media rights deal with Queensberry. “We’ve assembled a bumper lineup of cracking fights to celebrate the start of our relationship with DAZN,” said Queensberry Promotions Founder and Chairman, Frank Warren.

 

“We are starting as we mean to go on and, as you might expect, the heavyweights will play a big, big part in 2025 and beyond. Then Nottingham is the place to be the following month for a real banger of a fight between Anto Cacace and Leigh Wood. It is the sort of domestic blockbuster we will be seeing plenty of across the partnership between Queensberry and DAZN.

 

I am also so much looking forward to returning to Scotland with the nation’s biggest star and our latest signing, Josh Taylor, headlining and rebooting his career at welterweight, where I believe he can again do big things, but he will be up against it with Ekow Essuman in the opposite corner.”l=

 

Michael Ridout, EVP New Business at DAZN, said: “This schedule of fights will showcase the best of boxing talent across weight classes. As the global home of boxing, DAZN is committed to bringing the most exciting and nail-biting fights like these to fans around the world who love the sport. This is only the start of DAZN’s landmark partnership with Queensberry, and we look for forward to delivering more high-calibre bouts, while providing an unparalleled viewing experience.”
