ONE Championship has partnered with Sky Sports to broadcast its
events — along with ancillary programming — to viewers in the
United Kingdom and Ireland.
The Singapore-based promotion announced the agreement on Tuesday.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. The partnership will begin
with One on Prime Video 18 on Jan. 12. The card takes place at
Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and is headlined by a
135-pound kickboxing title bout between Superlek
Kiatmoo9 and Elias
Mahmoudi. Additionally, UFC veteran John
Lineker will compete in muay thai against Liam
Harrison at 145 pounds.
Sky Sport was already known for broadcasting Premier League, EFL,
Formula 1, cricket, golf, rugby league, tennis and more. Now it
will add ONE Championship to its sports lineup.
„For years, our UK fans have been clamoring for ONE to be broadcast
on one of the region’s major networks,” ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong
said in a release. “Today, I’m excited to announce a new
partnership with Sky Sports, the premier broadcaster for live
sports in the UK and one of the most well-known sports networks in
the world. This deal marks an important milestone for the
celebration of martial arts and the continued expansion of ONE
Championship’s global footprint.”
