Following reports that over 20 million viewers illegally streamed Fury-Usyk, DAZN has issued a statement. Despite the excitement surrounding Oleksandr Usyk’s split decision victory over Tyson Fury in Saudi Arabia, it’s the off-ring developments that have pay-per-view distributor DAZN concerned.

According to sources like The Daily Mail and Boxing News, Fury vs. Usyk, which was broadcasted by various networks including ESPN+, DAZN, and Sky Sports on pay-per-view, witnessed unconventional viewing methods. It was disclosed that at least 20 million viewers accessed illegal streams to watch the fight, resulting in an estimated financial loss of $120 million. A DAZN spokesperson emphasized that such actions would not be tolerated, and measures would be implemented to prevent future occurrences.
