The Fight Game Just Got Louder: GBM Sports and talkSPORT Strike a Dynamic Live Streaming Deal
On a crisp November evening in London, a new chapter unfolds in the sport of boxing. GBM Sports, boxing’s freshest promotional powerhouse, alongside talkSPORT, the nation’s sports broadcasting giant, have shaken hands on a deal set to stream a series of championship boxing events live. These thrilling showdowns will be a spectacle on talkSPORT’s boxing-dedicated YouTube channel.
The series kicks off in 2024 with a roaring start in Sheffield, initiating a tour of regular, not-to-be-missed events in major UK cities. GBM Sports is on an aggressive rise from its 2022 launch, boasting six packed-out, electrifying events, praised for their innovative presentation and electric atmosphere.
In early October, a groundbreaking show debuted at the awe-inspiring Canon Medical Arena, carving its place in history as GBM Sports’ most majestic showcase to date. Teaming up with talkSPORT for a night filled with high-octane action, fans witnessed Emma Dolan fiercely defending her Commonwealth Super-Flyweight title against Nicola Hopewell in an unforgettable clash, alongside a parade of victories from GBM Sports’ rising stars like Nohman Hussain and Joe Hayden.
Adding to the night’s glitter, MyKyle Ahmed, a six-time National Champion under the wing of boxing great Billy Joe Saunders, was revealed as the newest gem in GBM’s lineup, gearing up for his professional debut under their banner.
This collaboration between GBM Sports and talkSPORT has proven its might, now embarking on an extended partnership. Izzy Asif, the driving force behind GBM Sports, could hardly contain his excitement, declaring this streaming deal a game-changer for the brand, its fighters, and their legions of fans.
Jamie Sanderson of talkSPORT heralded this as a defining moment, showing the world that talkSPORT is more than airwaves and audio—it’s a full-blown sports network. October saw their boxing YouTube channel’s viewership skyrocket, catering to fans who demand their fight fix served with digital finesse. With this alliance, talkSPORT is set to become the go-to colosseum for boxing enthusiasts worldwide.
