MTG lands rights to Joshua v Takam

Multi-territory commercial and pay-television broadcaster Modern Times Group has acquired exclusive rights in Denmark to boxing’s world heavyweight title clash between Anthony Joshua and Carlos Takam.

The British fighter (pictured) will defend his world heavyweight titles against Frenchman Takam on October 28 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

MTG will broadcast the fight on its TV3 Plus pay-television channel and Viaplay video-streaming service.

Takam is a late replacement for Kubrat Pulev after the Bulgarian pulled out of the fight on Monday due to injury.
