LONDON, 6 June 2022 – Dazn Group, the world’s leading sports streaming platform, is sponsoring the Haringey Box Cup, which will take place in London at Alexandra Palace on 16-18 June 2023.
The Haringey Box Cup is the biggest amateur boxing tournament in Europe. Started in 2008 by the Haringey Police & Community Amateur Boxing Club, a youth development project in London, it has become an annual event that attracts elite amateur boxers from the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
In 2022, it received 5000 spectators over the course of the event. This year, Dazn will be filming all three days of the competition, collating highlights for a DAZN Boxing Show special that will be streamed around the world to maximise the event and the fighters’ exposure.
Since its inception 15 years ago, the Haringey Box Cup has become famous for identifying future boxing champions. Previous winners include Anthony Joshua, Katie Taylor, Nicola Adams, Chris Eubank Jr, Cheavon Clarke and Anthony Yarde; four went on to win Olympic Gold medals.
Anthony Joshua, two-time former unified world heavyweight champion, said of the event: “The Haringey Box Cup is the must-do event for aspiring professionals as an amateur I was lucky enough to win it twice”.
The 2023 Haringey Box Cup takes place at Alexandra Palace, London from June 16-18 and will comprise over bouts of top-class boxing with four champions looking to be crowned. The competition categories are: best male, best female, best youth male, best youth female.
Joseph Markowski, DAZN US CEO, said: “DAZN believes in the power of boxing and that community boxing gyms play a vital role in society. We have always looked upon the Box Cup as a celebration of the amazing work that these community gyms do and are pleased to sponsor such an important event in the sport. We wish all the participants the best of luck”.
