News Summary:
Top Rank Boxing, led by promoter Bob Arum, reportedly finalized a multi-year broadcasting agreement with DAZN on March 16, 2026, concluding an eight-month period without a major broadcast partner following its split with ESPN. Previously, on March 9, 2026, while still operating without a broadcast partner, the promotional company signed Sammy Contreras, with Arum expressing high expectations for the fighter despite having allowed several talents to leave during that time. Earlier, on July 24, 2025, Top Rank canceled the anticipated July 27 fight of Bahodir Jalolov in New York due to his opponent, Gianmarco Cardillo, being unable to participate because of health issues. This followed the May 27, 2025 announcement that Pechanga Arena San Diego, a venue that has hosted Top Rank Boxing events, extended its naming rights agreement with Pechanga Resort Casino through December 2026. Earlier in the year, on May 1, 2025, Top Rank Boxing presented Naoya Inoue's defense of his undisputed junior featherweight championship against Ramon Cardenas live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN+ from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on May 4.
