Sky Sports extends its partnership with Matchroom Sport by five years, with some of Britain's best boxers to feature.

Sky Sports has announced that its partnership with Matchroom Sport has been extended to 2021.

The new five-year deal means that viewers will be given a total of 120 fight nights, involving numerous British boxers, including James DeGale, Kell Brook and Olympic gold medallist Anthony Joshua.

Lee Selby, Kevin Mitchell, Luke Campbell, Scott Quigg and Anthony Crolla will also be part of the bill shown on Sky across the next six years.

Sky Sports managing director Barney Francis said: "As the home of boxing we're thrilled to be able to offer a further five years of fights and fighters. A huge commitment to online and digital content will mean a more interactive experience for all fight fans who will continue to enjoy the best quality and excitement of boxing on Sky Sports."

Matchroom Sport managing Director Eddie Hearn added: "I am delighted to announce a new five year deal as Sky's exclusive boxing promoter in the UK and Ireland. Over the past three years, with Sky Sports' backing, we have developed a team of fighters unrivalled by any promotional company in the history of British boxing.

"We have worked together to take British boxing from small hall shows to filling major arenas all over the country, creating star attractions and taking the profile of the sport to another level."

On Saturday, DeGale will go toe to toe with Andre Dirrell for the IBF super-middleweight title in Boston.
