DAZN has officially secured a new two-year agreement with British broadcaster, Ade Oladipo, solidifying his position as the premier face of the platform\u2019s boxing coverage.<\/p>\n
The deal extends a relationship that began in 2021, marking Oladipo\u2019s evolution from a YouTube creator to a global sports anchor leading DAZN\u2019s live and non-live programming across Europe and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
Oladipo will continue to serve as the main anchor for EMEA boxing coverage, a role he shares with US counterpart, Kate Scott.<\/p>\n
The extension ensures continuity for DAZN\u2019s broadcast team as the platform enters a heavy schedule of marquee international fixtures.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the extension, Oladipo described DAZN as \u201cfamily\u201d and highlighted the platform\u2019s trajectory.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the rights we\u2019ve added and the talent we\u2019ve brought onboard, as a platform and as a broadcaster, we\u2019re only getting bigger and better.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t wait to see what these next two years have in store,\u201d Oladipo said.<\/p>\n
From the \u2018Green Chair\u2019 to Global Arenas<\/p>\n
Originally discovered through his YouTube channel, Oladipo\u2019s rapport with former world champion Tony Bellew on The DAZN Boxing Show became a cornerstone of the platform\u2019s UK launch.<\/p>\n
In less than five years, Oladipo has progressed to anchoring major fight nights and conducting high-stakes interviews with the sport\u2019s elite, including Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua, and Tyson Fury. Beyond the ring, his versatility has seen him lead coverage for the UEFA Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, and the Six Kings Slam tennis tournament.<\/p>\n
Upcoming Major Assignments<\/p>\n
As part of the new deal, Oladipo is slated to anchor several landmark events in May 2026:<\/p>\n
May 9: The domestic heavyweight clash between Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois.
\nMay 23: The highly anticipated return of Oleksandr Usyk against kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven, hosted at the Pyramids of Giza.<\/p>\n
He will continue to lead a broadcast team featuring seasoned analysts and commentators including Tony Bellew, Carl Frampton, Adam Smith, Darren Barker, and Barry Jones.<\/p>\n
