With Saul "Canelo" Alvarez going into battle against Callum Smith in a big super-middleweight showdown on December 19, DAZN has teamed up with music streaming service Deezer to provide the perfect pre-fight playlist to get fight fans ready for the Alamodome clash.
Britain's Smith will put his WBA and The Ring 168 lb titles on the line, while the vacant WBC belt will also go to the winner of this mouth-watering collision between the division's best and the sport's biggest name. The fight can be viewed across the globe (except Mexico) with a DAZN subscription.
This playlist has been built with Canelo vs. Smith fight night in mind, and can be found exclusively on Deezer.
“Music and boxing go hand in hand. Working with DAZN will help boxing fans in 21 countries around the world get excited for the upcoming bouts. Deezer is the perfect partner for DAZN to reach millions of people, thanks to a powerful combination of advertising, cross promotion on social media, direct communication with Deezer’s listeners and official playlists on our platform," said Yoav Banai, Deezer’s VP of customer engagement.
A playlist for the big January 2 fight, pitting exciting lightweight prospect Ryan Garcia against battle-hardened London 2012 Olympian Luke Campbell, is also in the works.
“This global, brand partnership is just one of the many ways that DAZN is innovating to bring fans closer to the sport and athletes they love. We’re excited to team up with Deezer so fans can soak up the atmosphere as if they were there in the stadium with the athletes, with music inspired by these world-class fights,” said Ben King, DAZN’s chief subscription officer.
