DAZN been quiet. Sky have the UK, but what about the rest of the world?

It's DAZN for US and worldwide. Unless any particular country has said anything else.

Not announced.

It has.

i dint think dazn have got the rights to show the fight outside the uk

Just read that the Saudis have gifted Usyk the rights to show the fight for free on his YouTube channel? If true I'm guessing this will be blocked for UK viewing?

Usyk To Give Big Fight Gift To The Ukrainian People As Rematch With Joshua Will Be On Free TV

In an admirable move from two sides, it has been reported how the people of Ukraine will be able to watch the August 20 rematch between their hero (in more ways than one) Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua on free television. Usyk’s promoter Aleksandr Krassyuk spoke with TALK sport, and he explained how Usyk tried to buy the TV rights to the fight in Ukraine, this from the Saudis who organised the fight, so he could show the rematch on his YouTube channel for free.

But the Saudis refused to take any money and they gave Usyk the TV rights and now, in the middle of the Russian conflict as they are, the Ukrainian people will be able to cheer Usyk on free of charge. Again, an admirable move from both Usyk and the Saudis.

“He intended to buy (the TV rights), but received it [free] for Ukraine,” Krassyuk said of his fighter who holds the WBA/IBF/WBO heavyweight titles. “He makes it free to watch via Megogo [streaming service], his YouTube channel, and via state public TV Suspilne.”

Some might dig this. I really don't. Naz or not.

Sky will be fuming if that’s true. Pay squillions for rights, only for saudis to start playing Santa.

It’s only free in Ukraine.

Usyk wanted to buy the TV rights for Ukraine off the Saudi’s so he can show it free.

They just said take it for free.

If it’s tv it’s fine. But if it’s YouTube it’s pretty Spicey for sky. Guess it will be Ukrainian commentary which isn’t great but still, VPNs will be keen.

Will you even need a VPN if it's on Usyk's YouTube?

Whatever happens it will make streams plentiful.

id rather have ukraninian commentary than english tbh, commentary never makes the experience better for me, best it be something i dont understand

Nice one, unlucky SKY.

Agree. If you need commentary you are a noob.

Twinkle Toes wrote: ↑05 Aug 2022, 01:44 Nice one, unlucky SKY.

yeah you have to feel sorry for sky

English language commentary is a joke nowadays. Any reprieve from it should be considered a gift.

The more I look into this the more I think Joshua is going to take a hiding.

Your running the risk of missing “the respect” without Adam smith telling you where it is.

Btw, the Ukrainian ones are awful. Actually, all commentators today are, because now it's common to comment in a way to attract casuals, to mispresent the reality and to fill commentry with idiotic emotions.

It's a long road for Joshua in this fight again, Usyk all the way

Usyk gonna mince up AJ`s kipper. I hope so.
