Boxing’s TV situation is complex.<\/p>\n

There are many in the sport who fear more major fights going onto streaming platforms isn’t good for the long-term future, while others argue they need to move with changing viewing habits.<\/p>\n

Warren is one of them after Queensberry moved to DAZN in 2025 after being with TNT Sports and previously on BoxNation and Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

“EastEnders at one time had 15 million, 20 million people watching,” he recalls.<\/p>\n

“They’re lucky to get three now. What fans are watching and how they’re watching is different now.<\/p>\n

“I talk to my grandkids all the time and they hardly watch TV. They get most of their entertainment through YouTube.”<\/p>\n

BBC has recently returned to boxing alongside Boxxer,<\/a> while Sky Sports have teamed up<\/a> with Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP).<\/p>\n

Netflix showed Anthony Joshua v Jake Paul and will broadcast Tyson Fury’s comeback<\/a> against Arslanbek Makhmudov in April which suggest they’re becoming a serious player.<\/p>\n

While TV and pay-per-view remains a huge source of income, Warren believes the live gate will remain key in the next decades, but says there needs to be innovation for the viewing audience.<\/p>\n

“It’s all about how the public change,” he says. “The live gate’s always going to be there.<\/p>\n

“I’ve seen what they’re doing with some football matches now with big screens, which are like a 3D sort of situation. That’s very interesting.<\/p>\n

“The name of the game for any sport, any promoter is to capitalise on how technology is changing, generate income that makes the show a bigger show, makes it successful.<\/p>\n

“And the bottom line of it is [to make sure] the fighters do really, really well.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
