UK pay-television broadcaster Sky will show coverage of next month’s world heavyweight boxing clash between Anthony Joshua and Kubrat Pulev via a new Box Office streaming service, which will be launched in partnership with technology provider NeuLion.

Joshua (pictured) will defend his world heavyweight titles against Bulgaria’s Pulev on October 28 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

The new Box Office service will make the fight available for purchase to non-Sky customers.

Sky said that it has signed a “long-term” agreement with NeuLion to provide the service, which will be available via Now TV boxes and PC, mobile and tablet devices.

The fight will also be available through the existing Sky Sports Box Office service. The fight will be available for £19.95 (€21.80/$25.99).

Sky Sports will air a range of support programming across its television channels and digital platforms in the run-up to the fight.

Unless AJ loses everyone of his fights will be PPV simply because he's a cash machine for Sky/Matchroom/Himself.

They are looking for 3 fights next year - Ortiz late Feb/March - Wilder Wembley - another on Nov so that's 3 more PPV should he keep winning.

This. In business talk AJ is nothing more than a cash cow. He's a PPV boxer purely due to his value
