DAZN is gearing up for an exciting fight event featuring Harlem Eubank and David Papot. This match, set to take place at London’s Copper Box Arena on July 18, will showcase some cutting-edge technology aimed at enriching the viewing experience for fans both in the venue and at home.
The new tech will offer real-time insights into the fighters’ performance, tracking their power, speed, combinations, and levels of fatigue. This data will be displayed on screens in the Copper Box, while DAZN audiences will receive personalized feeds to enjoy from their living rooms.
Fans can look forward to high-tech replays that allow them to see key moments from all angles, giving a comprehensive view of the action, much like scenes from a movie. This innovative approach is brought to life by Gladius, who has developed a digital gumshield that accurately measures the impact of each punch.
To enhance the atmosphere further, Gladius is introducing an advanced audio system that will ensure every punch resonates clearly throughout the arena. Gladius CEO Oliver Hickey shared his vision for how this technology will transform the way fans experience combat sports.
“This marks the start of a new chapter in combat sports. By merging video, audio, and wearable tech, Gladius aims to give fans a reliable and detailed look at every fight,” he explained. “On July 18, viewers will get to witness the power, speed, and impact of each punch in real-time, along with insightful replays that bring a deeper understanding to the action.”
As exciting as the tech is, Eubank will have to keep his eyes on Papot, who recently faced a tough fight against former world champion Liam Paro. The event is a collaboration between MF Pro and Neilson Boxing and will also feature another exciting welterweight match between Kieran Molloy and Sean Noakes.
