London, England (August 25, 2023) – BOXXER is delighted to announce a new partnership with IFX Payments, who will become the Official Foreign Exchange and Payments Partner of BOXXER.

Headquartered in London and with offices around the world, IFX delivers advanced payment, treasury and financial management solutions – with the view to provide a frictionless and complete digital payments experience for businesses of all kinds.
BOXXER shows air LIVE and exclusively on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, after the leading UK sports broadcaster signed a four-year deal with BOXXER in 2021.

The partnership will commence with BOXXER’s next event on 2nd September, as Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr finally meet in their hugely-anticipated rematch at Manchester’s AO Arena in front of 20,000 fans – live on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK & Ireland, and a further 150+ territories globally, including ESPN+ in the US and Canada. A stacked undercard includes Adam Azim v Aram Fanyan, Frazer Clarke v Dave Allen, Florian Marku v Dylan Moran, Mark Heffron v Jack Cullen, and much more.
