BOXXER and NBC Sports announce exclusive media rights deal to air British fights in America as promoter Ben Shalom tells Mail Sport the long-term goal is 'to bring shows to the US'

British boxing promotion, BOXXER, has reached a media rights partnership with NBC, giving American audiences the chance to see fight cards that air exclusively on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland.

For starters: First- and second-ranked light heavyweights Joshua Buatsi and Dan Azeez will square off from London's O2 Arena on Saturday.

'You look back at Prince Naseem, Amir Khan - and Tyson Fury in recent history - and how well they've done in the US, that was always in the back of my mind: I want US audiences to be able to see these kids, to see our stable and see these guys from [a young age],' BOXXER Founder and CEO Ben Shalom told Mail Sport.
