Today, DraftKings (Nasdaq: DKNG) has become the “Official Sports
Betting Partner” of the upcoming boxing match contested between
former undisputed heavyweight world champion, Mike Tyson, and
former four-division world champion, Roy Jones Jr. The big event,
which is scheduled for November 28, 2020, has partnered
with DraftKings as its official sports betting partner (subject to
state restrictions) along with a nationally available
free-to-play pool. The bouts will all be sanctioned by CSAC and
scored by the World Boxing Athletic Commission, who will
additionally choose a winner based on pro-fighting rules. A
knockout will also be considered a win.
“Viewers of this fight will be at the forefront of a premier and
customer-first event that pits two generationally dominant boxing
talents against one another while also integrating DraftKings
branding and exclusive sportsbook data for a seamless second-screen
experience,” said Ezra Kucharz, chief business officer at
DraftKings. “Sports betting technology has evolved exponentially
since Mike Tyson or Roy Jones Jr. were crowned world champions, so
seeing these legends now clash within this innovative era of our
industry is something special.”
Undercard sports betting on DraftKings will be available in
Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, New Hampshire, New Jersey and
Tennessee while bettors in Illinois, New Hampshire and New Jersey
can wager on the main card and fans nationwide can enter a
free-to-play pool for the match. Additionally, DraftKings branding
will appear throughout the match’s media day, weigh-in and boxing
ring. As part of the sponsorship, DraftKings will also develop a
“DraftKings Tale of the Bet” original series to capture sportsbook
trends such as percentage of bets and handle, significant bet
placements and unique market offers.
“We couldn’t be happier to have DraftKings as the betting
partner for the Tyson vs. Jones Jr. fight. This is an epic event we
will all remember, and it is exciting to have the power and scale
of DraftKings allow viewers to participate in a meaningful way,”
said Ryan Kavanaugh, a producer of the event.
Hosted by Mario Lopez, the highly-anticipated return of Mike
Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. headlines the four-hour live event
that will air globally on November 28th at 8pm ET, with
the three-hour main card beginning at 9:00pm ET on
Pay-Per-View through cable and satellite providers and PPV
streaming on www.TysonOnTriller.com. Triller has also
secured legendary musical guests, including DaBaby, Lil Wayne,
French Montana, Wiz Khalifa, and YG with Ne-Yo set to perform the
national anthem.
“Triller is thrilled to have DraftKings as the official betting
partner of Tyson’s return. With fans excited to participate in this
significant face-off, we knew we needed an official facilitator.
They become one of the many new brand partners to join the Triller
family and the integration we have planned with them is nothing
short of amazing,” said Bonin Bough, Chief Growth Officer of
Triller.
Tyson and Jones will be joined by several undercard bouts
including YouTuber Jake Paul against former NBA player Nate
Robinson. Additionally, former WBC super-middleweight champion
Badou Jack will take on Blake McKernan while Viddal Riley matches
up with Rashad Coulter to round out the remaining undercard
