AIKE COSTELLO, the brilliant BBC 5 Live commentator, has joined Matchroom Media and will be their lead boxing commentator on DAZN as the UK launch gathers pace. His first show will be on August 14 at Matchroom Fight Camp when he has returned from Olympic duty with the BBC.
Costello’s co-commentator will be Andy Lee, the former WBO middleweight titlist, who has won widespread recognition as one of the best analysts in the sport since his retirement in 2017 and he’s regularly worked alongside Costello at the BBC. Tony Bellew will also be involved in the commentary, though Costello and Lee will be the leading duo for all English-spoken broadcasts.
