StubHub extends partnerships with Matchroom, Joshua

Online ticketing service StubHub has extended a deal with Matchroom Boxing and the management company’s heavyweight fighter Anthony Joshua.

The deal includes official ticket distribution rights and also brand marketing and activation rights across all fights.

The agreements mean Matchroom Boxing and Anthony Joshua (pictured, left) will continue to use StubHub.co.uk as an official ticket distribution channel, all of which will be listed at face value.

StubHub will also operate the official ticket resale channel.

Nick Harford, interim general manager of StubHub International, said: “Establishing long-term partnerships is an important part of the evolving the StubHub business, so we are delighted to be extending our agreements with Matchroom Boxing and Anthony Joshua. It’s unquestionably an exciting period for UK boxing and we look forward to seeing how the calendar shapes up, which includes our support for Anthony Joshua as he continues to make both an impressive ascendency in his division and profile.”
