As 2022 draws to a memorable close, BOXXER is celebrating a phenomenal year of innovation, growth and record-breaking success for its rising stable of boxing superstars. Here, we look back at a remarkable 12 months for the next-generation promotion: 

RECORD BREAKERS 

In its first full year with Sky, BOXXER began 2022 with a bang in Cardiff. In a hugely-anticipated grudge match between Chris Eubank Jr and Liam Williams at the Motorpoint Arena on 5th February, Eubank Jr scored four knockdowns on his way to a unanimous points decision in front of a raucous crowd. Significantly, the event drew over 1 million viewers in the UK & Ireland – outperforming a decade-old feat as it delivered an in-home viewing record on Sky. Also that month, the undisputed world title fight between Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall, at a sold-out OVO Hydro in Glasgow – which ended in a controversial points win for Taylor – drew almost 1 million live viewers on the night in the UK. 

HISTORY MAKERS 

In October, the first-ever all female event in the UK was held at The O2 in front of a sold-out crowd in London – just weeks after it was postponed in September due to the passing of the late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall became the first female fighters to headline at the iconic venue in the capital, with the American victorious on points as she was crowned the undisputed world champion – along with the honorary WBC Elizabethan Belt – in what was the most-anticipated women’s fight of all-time with many in the sport hailing it as the event of the year. 

The chief support was another electrifying clash as Alycia Baumgardner defeated Mikaela Mayer for the unified world championship with the pair’s bitter rivalry ranked as one of the best of the year.

The landmark event drew over 2 million viewers in the UK & Ireland on the night, becoming the most-watched female boxing event in history, and Sky’s most-watched live women’s sport event ever. The attendance was incredibly impressive too: 20,000 fans packed out a sold-out O2 with 35% of ticket-holders being female – far higher than the median of 8% for a typical Boxing show.

The groundbreaking event showcased BOXXER’s forward thinking for the sport and its willingness to put promotional politics to one side to stage the best fights as it partnered with other leading promoters. 

LEADING THE WAY IN THE UK

It has been a year of unparalleled growth, with an ever-growing roster of world champions, Olympians and elite fighters – and BOXXER delivered more UK shows than any other promoter. This saw Ben Shalom’s promotion travel the length and breadth of the country, selling out arenas in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Cardiff, Liverpool, Newcastle, Coventry and Bournemouth – including blockbuster pay-per-views, world championship fight nights and unique BOXXER Series tournaments. 

PREMIUM SUCCESS

Amir Khan and Kell Brook’s decade-long rivalry was finally settled in Manchester, in BOXXER’s first pay-per-view show on Sky Sports Box Office, since signing a four-year deal with the broadcaster in June 2021. The Khan v Brook campaign and event gripped the nation, exceeding half a million pay-per-view buys and becoming the most-watched non-heavyweight pay-per-view since Carl Froch rematched George Groves in 2014. Tickets for the event sold out in just 10 minutes, making it one of the fastest-selling events not only in British boxing history but in British sporting history as a whole.

In November, the announcement of Chris Eubank Jr vs Liam Smith saw fans flocking to ticket websites to purchase their seats for January’s upcoming pay-per-view event – and now only a small handful of tickets remain for the eagerly-anticipated fight on January 21st. 

CELEBRATING CHAMPIONS

Natasha Jonas was celebrated by many in Boxing as the Fighter of the Year – and deservedly so. Miss Team GB started the year in style as she landed the WBO world title from Chris Namus in February. Then the Merseyside fighter – ranked in the top 10 of the pound-for-pound rankings – capped an incredible 12 months when she captured the IBF and Ring Magazine world titles with her dominating points victory over Canada’s Marie-Eve Dicaire in November at Manchester’s AO Arena, just two months after she defeated Patricia Berghult for the WBC in her home city of Liverpool. And 2022 marked a memorable time for the likes of ‘Super’ Dan Azeez, who added the Commonwealth crown to his British title when he closed the year with a brilliant stoppage win in Bournemouth over Rocky Fielding. 

STARS OF THE FUTURE

Adam Azim put pen to paper on a new multi-year deal with BOXXER back in October. The lightweight, who turns 21 next July, announced himself in magnificent fashion in 2022 with many spectators heralding him as a future world champion. Fellow stablemate Caroline Dubois has also been earmarked as one of the bright superstars to watch in 2023 after her phenomenal, undefeated debut year.

BOXXER launched the year by adding the likes of Azim and Dubois to its stable – along with one of the sport’s rising superstars and another to watch in 2023: Ben Whittaker. The Tokyo 2020 Olympics silver medallist staged a breathtaking knockout performance on his summer debut in Bournemouth, before successfully winning in Saudi Arabia on the Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk undercard. Whittaker wasn’t the only Team GB hero who joined forces with BOXXER in 2022. Olympic bronze medal victor Frazer ‘Big Clarke’ Clarke has bulldozed his way through the heavyweight division with a series of destructive wins. Fellow 2020 bronze medallist Karriss Artingstall has impressed with two wins from as many fights, including a brilliant win on the Shields-Marshall undercard – along with Tokyo gold medallist Lauren Price, who has enjoyed a similar record and ended the year collecting a coveted MBE award. 

MARQUEE SIGNINGS 

Along with the Olympians, BOXXER added to its burgeoning roster with the impressive signings of Jack Catterall, Savannah Marshall, Tasha Jonas, Florian Marku, Chris Billam-Smith,Liam Smith and Joseph Parker. Former WBO world heavyweight champion Parker made his debut in September, just weeks after Smith successfully announced himself on the BOXXER stable with a victory in his hometown of Liverpool. His box office fight with Joe Joyce in Manchester is widely regarded as one of the finest fights of 2022 – and the Kiwi returns to the AO Arena on January 21st, where he will take on Jack Massey. 

INCREDIBLE INNOVATION 

BOXXER broke the mould as it staged its first-ever ‘Super Sunday’ event at London’s famous Alexandra Palace in November – introducing the sport to a fresh, young audience who revelled in an innovative ‘Fan Zone’ offering which saw legends like Spencer Oliver and Antony Crolla invite fans into the ring for bespoke pad training, along with a number of exciting experiences including t-shirt cannons, VIP appearances and VR gaming moments before savouring an unforgettable afternoon of Boxing, in which Adam Azim celebrated a stunning knockout victory in the main event over Rylan Charlton. In a first for BOXXER, it also recorded the historic Shields-Marshall main event in October in an immersive VR 360-degree camera experience, providing an unrivalled virtual viewing content to engage fans like none other before. 

• The 20-year-old from Slough is tipped to become a future world champion
• Undefeated at 6-0 (5 KOs), Azim is rated as one of the best young fighter’s on the planet
• Azim headlines BOXXER: Breakthrough ‘Super Sunday’ against Rylan Charlton on Nov 27
• New deal will see super lightweight sensation Azim fight exclusively on Sky Sports

ADAM AZIM has signed a new long-term, multi-year fight deal to remain exclusively with BOXXER on Sky Sports.

The incredible super lightweight sensation has enjoyed a flawless start to his professional career with a stunning record of six wins and five knockouts.

Regarded as Britain’s best and most exciting boxing prospect, Azim is a generational talent destined for the very top of the sport.

The legendary Amir Khan – who became world champion at 22 – has predicted the 20-year-old Azim will eclipse his record and win a world title even sooner.

Judging by the blistering pace he has set this year – with four highlight-reel stoppage wins from four fights – the Shane McGuigan-trained protege is on track to prove Khan correct.

Adam Azim (6-0, 5 KOs) said: “I am delighted to sign a long-term deal with BOXXER and Sky Sports.

“You have only seen a glimpse of what I can do with these quick KO’s, I am going to send shock waves through the sport of boxing with electric performances. I was born to do this and I can’t wait to have these big fights on Sky Sports.

“I want to thank everyone involved in getting this deal done, my manager and trainer Shane McGuigan and the teams at BOXXER and Sky Sports. This is going to be a great ride!”

BOXXER CEO and Founder, Ben Shalom, is thrilled to see Azim put pen to paper on a new contract.

“Adam is one of the most exciting prospects on the planet,” said Shalom.

“We have seen him light up our screens in just his first few fights so far – and we believe he will make history with what he can achieve in the sport.

“We are delighted to have struck a long-term deal with Adam. We’re the perfect place for him, on Sky, to become one of Britain’s youngest-ever world champions.

“Adam will become a superstar of British boxing and possibly one of the biggest of all-time. That is exactly what our sport needs, with Adam inspiring the future generation of stars.”

Adam’s manager and head trainer, Shane McGuigan, added: “This is a groundbreaking deal for Adam Azim and Sky Sports. I am thrilled to get this over the line with BOXXER and Sky.

“Adam is a generational talent who is developing at real speed and Sky Sports is the perfect platform to showcase him on his rise to the top of the sport.”

Adam Smith, Sky Sports Head of Boxing Development, said: “Adam Azim oozes class. Sizzling speed, knockout power, and those electrifying ring celebrations. Adam has the X-Factor.

“There is a long way to go and he needs to be truly tested as he rises through the levels. But there are shades of a young Naseem Hamed and he could be a future superstar. We can’t wait to be part of that journey on Sky.”

In what will be his first headline fight, Azim faces a tough test which will draw even more attention to his ever-growing profile as he faces the wily and experienced campaigner Rylan Charlton at BOXXER: Breakthrough on Sunday, November 27th.

Charlton most recently won two fights in one night to come runner-up in April’s eight-man BOXXER Series: Lightweight tournament.

Adam’s talented and undefeated brother Hassan will also be in action at Alexandra Palace on Sunday, November 27. For tickets, head here

BOXXER today announced an exclusive agreement which makes Kody ‘Big Mo’ Mommaerts the exclusive official voice of BOXXER and Sky Sports Boxing.

Standing 6’7”, ‘Big Mo’ is used to occupying the top spot: he was a Division 1 American Football player in his university days, where he also achieved a post-graduate MBA (Master of Business Administration), the favourite degree of many Wall Street executives.

A lifelong passionate boxing fan, the 26-year-old has now scaled the heights of yet another endeavour, just three years after he first picked up a microphone to try his hand at announcing.

Mommaerts’ rapid ascent of the ring announcer ranks is testament to his talent. The gifted Goliath made his BOXXER debut in Bournemouth earlier this year and was an instant hit with fans.

“I couldn’t be more excited to begin a long-term relationship with BOXXER & Sky Sports. When I started announcing my goal was to be on the biggest platform possible, so I could entertain as many fans as possible, and it doesn’t get bigger than Sky,” said Mommaerts.

“I think me announcing for BOXXER is a match made in heaven. BOXXER is a fresh and exciting company looking to really take over the industry. Ben Shalom is obviously young and so am I, and I think our visions really align as to how we can make BOXXER shows a top-tier event for people there live, and watching on Sky.

“I like building something from the ground up, and I like situations where everyone has their own role. The BOXXER team and the Sky team are both incredible. They work extremely hard to put on great events. I believe my role is pivotal to a great show, and I am thankful for the opportunity to do it alongside those two teams.”

BOXXER CEO and Founder Ben Shalom commented, “The first time I heard Big Mo announce, I instantly felt he would be a great fit for BOXXER. He’s young, he’s dynamic, he’s got a great voice and he’s got a very distinctive presence – Big Mo’s reach is longer than some of our heavyweights and his vocal range is even bigger than his reach. He brings great energy to every announcement he makes.”

The first event of his new agreement took place last weekend, when BOXXER: LEGACY sold out the 02 London with long-time rivals Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall bringing their ten-year rivalry to a head in the main event.

BOXXER’s next event takes place Saturday, November 12th at the AO Arena Manchester, where WBO and WBC super-welterweight champion Natasha Jonas takes on IBF champion Marie-Eve Dicaire in a three-belt world title unification bout.

The card also features Dalton Smith defending his British super-welterweight title against Kaisee Benjamin, fast-rising Manchester threat Bradley Rea challenging Tyler Denny and heavyweight fight-finisher Frazer Clarke taking on his toughest test to date in the form of Polish powerhouse Kamil Sokolowski.

LONDON, UK (18 October 2022) – Fans can enjoy a full replay of the Fight of the Year contender between Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall, LIVE on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer tonight at 10:30pm BST. 

In a deal struck between BOXXER and the UK public-service broadcaster, fans will now be able to watch Saturday’s epic fight in its entirety, as American superstar and two-time Olympic Gold medalist Claressa Shields became the first fighter in history to be crowned an undisputed champion on three different occasions, by defeating Britain’s Savannah Marshall with a unanimous points victory, in front of a sold-out arena at The O2.

The record-breaking event in London saw over two million viewers tune in on Sky, making it the biggest audience for a LIVE women’s sport event ever on Sky and the second most-watched non-PPV boxing event on Sky since 2014.

Having broadcast Saturday’s fight on BBC Radio 5 Live, fight fans can now re-live the epic night of history tonight on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer. 

BOXXER CEO & Founder, Ben Shalom, said: “It was a historic event that will go down in history. In partnership with Sky, we staged something many thought wasn’t possible.

“We believe in the power of boxing and the next generation. Our focus from day one has been to bring inclusivity, innovation and entertainment to one of the oldest sports in the world.

“We want BOXXER to be a force for good within boxing and have a positive impact on repositioning the sport for its long-term health and success.

“For women’s sport this was truly iconic. We want to thank all the fans for the support along with everyone involved and, of course, all the fighters.

“We can now look forward to an extremely bright future and carry such positive momentum into the rest of the year with some huge fight nights ahead.”

The most anticipated women’s fight of all-time is officially the most watched women’s sport event of all-time on Sky Sports.

Over two million viewers tuned in overall on Sky to watch a historic BOXXER: Legacy on Saturday, 15th October – with an astonishing peak of 974,000 viewers for the live main event.

That makes the iconic, record-breaking event in London the second highest ever watched professional boxing show since 2014, delivering the biggest audience for a live women’s sport event ever on Sky – along with being screened in 150 countries worldwide, including ESPN+ in the USA.

And for fight fans who want to re-live the epic night of history, BBC are also showcasing the full highlights of Claressa Shields vs Savannah Marshall on their website, having broadcast the Fight of the Year contender live on BBC Radio 5Live to hundreds of thousands of listeners.

The live coverage on Sky Sports, featuring two world title fights and some of the UK’s most exciting young fighters, reached over 2m viewers, with millions more watching the build-up and action across Sky Sports Boxing YouTube and Sky Sports TikTok live streams. 

In addition to those watching on TV and online, a sell-out crowd filled The O2, demonstrating the growth in women’s sport. 35% of tickets sold were bought by women, well over the usual amount, and almost 40% of those that watched at home were women – well above the normal average for a fight night on Sky Sports.

American superstar and two-time Olympic Gold medalist Claressa Shields became the first fighter in history to be crowned an undisputed champion in three different occasions as defeated Britain’s Savannah Marshall with a unanimous points victory in front of a sold-out arena at The O2.

Shields was handed the commemorative WBC Elizabethan Belt too, in tribute to the late Her Majesty Elizabeth II after the initial date for the undisputed world middleweight title fight was postponed due to a national period of mourning following the passing of the UK monarch. 

In the co-main event, Alycia Baumgardner defeated fellow-American Mikaela Mayer to unify the world super-featherweight titles.

And three Team GB Olympic heroes extended their unbeaten professional records in front of 18,000 fans as Lauren Price, Karriss Artingtstall and Caroline Dubois shone in night that will go down in boxing folklore.

BOXXER CEO Ben Shalom said: “It was a historic event that will go down in history. We staged something many thought wasn’t possible.

“Thank you to Sky for their unwavering support for women’s sport and boxing. From a standing start, in just 12 months our partnership has achieved so much already and Saturday night culminated in a record-breaking event.

“We believe in the power of boxing and the next generation. Our focus from day one has been to bring inclusivity, innovation and entertainment to one of the oldest sports in the world.

“We want BOXXER to be a force for good within boxing and have a positive impact on repositioning the sport for its long-term health and success.

“For women’s sport this was truly iconic. We want to thank all the fans for the support along with everyone involved and, of course, all the fighters.  

“We can now look forward to an extremely bright future and carry such positive momentum into the rest of the year with some huge fight nights ahead.”  

The next fight on Sky Sports will be headlined by Natasha Jonas world title unification fight with Maire-Eve Dicaire on Saturday, 12th November in Manchester.
