Anthony Joshua WALKS OUT on Sky Sports for a five-year broadcasting deal with streaming site DAZN worth £100m, starting with his rematch against Oleksandr Usyk in August

Anthony Joshua has turned his back on Sky Sports to sign a lucrative deal with streaming service DAZN, as the heavyweight prepares for his crucial rematch against Oleksandr Usyk this summer.

Joshua has fought on Sky Sports for the entirety of his career, with his promoter Eddie Hearn previously having an exclusive deal with the broadcaster to stage his fights.

But the Matchroom Boxing chief has since negotiated a £100million deal spread over five years with DAZN that has seen him bring his entire stable on board.

Joshua had a separate contract to show his fights exclusively on Sky Sports, but that expired after his first fight against Usyk at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September - and the heavyweight has now defected to DAZN.
