DAZN has been my family for nearly five years now, and to add another two years to that \u2013 and there will be many more years after that! \u2013 is just so exciting. With 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. I can\u2019t wait to see what these next two years have in store for me, and for DAZN as a whole.
