ProSiebenSat.1 to launch combat sports platform

German media company ProSiebenSat.1 has announced the launch of a new combat sports digital platform, ranFighting.de.

The service will offer pay-per-view live coverage of some boxing contests – the first time ProSiebenSat.1 will have taken such an approach – as well as other fight sports.

The platform will launch with coverage of German Arthur Abraham’s (pictured) super middleweight boxing clash with Gilberto Ramirez in Las Vegas in the early hours of April 10.

RanFighting.de will show archive material as well as live coverage, including classic encounters and highlights from mixed martial arts, as well as sports such as kickboxing, judo, taekwondo and karate.
