Dana White Signs Sky Sports UK & Ireland Deal By Tom Galm - 03/18/2026 - Comments Sky becomes UK and Ireland home for Zuffa Boxing with minimum five domestic shows each year Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing has signed a multi-year broadcast agreement with Sky Sports, placing all events on the platform across the UK and Ireland. The deal guarantees at least five fight cards per year on UK soil as the promotion begins building its schedule. The first show under the agreement is set for April 5 in Las Vegas, headlined by Andres Cortes against Eridson Garcia. The co-main event features former world champion Mark Magsayo against Ireland’s Feargal McCrory. Zuffa Boxing launched in 2025 under TKO Group Holdings and Sela, with Dana White and Nick Khan driving the structure. The move into a defined UK broadcaster gives the promotion a clear route to stage fights and keep its roster active without negotiating separate television deals for each event. “Sky Sports has been a long-standing partner to boxing for more than 30 years,” said Jonathan Licht. “Zuffa Boxing has exciting plans for the sport, and we share that same ambition when it comes to putting on the best fights for our customers.” “We look forward to a new era where we’ll use our platform to both build stars and showcase elite boxing talent here in the UK and internationally.” Dana White pointed to the UK market as central to the rollout. “The UK has played such a pivotal role throughout the history of boxing. The fans there are some of the most loyal and passionate in the world,” White said. “When you talk about boxing in that region, Sky Sports has always been the home for legendary boxing fights. There’s no bigger or better platform to showcase the best boxing in the UK.” “This is a massive milestone for Zuffa Boxing.” Cortes (24-0, 13 KOs) enters the April 5 main event unbeaten, while Garcia (23-1, 14 KOs) arrives on a six-fight winning run. Magsayo (28-2, 18 KOs) faces McCrory (17-1, 9 KOs) in a matchup that places a former champion against a rising contender.
