ANTHONY JOSHUA may be splitting with Sky Sports and signing a huge-money deal to stream video app DAZN.
The former heavyweight champion has been with broadcasters since his youth.
After the September defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, a 35-year-old genius from Ukraine, that contract was canceled.
SunSport believes he has been the object of a bidding battle since then.
DAZN, a London-based company, snatched Eddie Hearn, Matchroom promoter, from Sky in 2021. They also had a PS100 million warchest.
However, Joshua's UK rights weren't included in that package.

DAZN does however show him other places around the globe.
Sky was able to resign with the household name.
One week before Usyk's points loss, Watford's AJ signed a lifetime-long contract with Matchroom.
His next contract will be for the August rematch in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua's defeat will severely damage his brand and reputation, and he will be out of contention for the title.

Sky Sports was the frontrunner to get his signature once again, up until DAZN decided that the race was over.
However, the Len Blavatnik app has suddenly taken the lead and an announcement could be made as soon as next week.
