DAZN picks up July 30 Teraji vs Sandoval tripleheader

American and British viewers will have easy access to an excellent Japanese show next wek

Those looking to catch next week’s title tripleheader in Yokohama are in luck, as DAZN announced that they’d picked up the U.S. and U.K. broadcast rights.

Things kick off 5:45 a.m. Eastern on Wednesday the 30th.

Kenshiro Teraji (25-1, 16 KO), pound-for-pound stalwart and one of the most consistently entertaining action fighters of the generation, defends his WBC and WBA flyweight titles against longtime contender Ricardo Sandoval (26-2, 18 KO) in the main event. Fellow slugger Daigo Higa (21-3-2, 19 KO) challenges Antonio Vargas (19-1, 11 KO) for the WBA bantamweight title in the co-feature, while Erick Rosa (8-0, 2 KO) defends his WBA light flyweight title against red-hot prospect Kyosuke Takami (9-0, 7 KO) in the opener.

This is just a flat-out great lineup. Competitive matchmaking, hardware on the line, and tons of action potential. Kudos to DAZN for snagging it.

In the meantime, I will be cursing the double-edged sword of being on PAcific Time, which grants me unlimited power to catch those stupidly late prime time shows but cripples my ability to follow my beloved Japanese boxing.
