The company's global content monitoring and take-down services will be used for this premium event that will see Russian Murat Gassiev fight his Ukrainian opponent, Aleksandr Usyk.

The World Boxing Super Series involves a total of 16 elite boxers from two weight classes, Cruiserweight and Super Middleweight, who have faced each other in 14 separate fight nights in a bracket-style elimination tournament. Friend MTS has provided content protection for the World Boxing Super Series from the start of the tournament. The PPV boxing series receives global coverage through multiple Tier 1 broadcasters.

“Friend MTS has deep experience of working alongside rights holders and broadcasters to protect premium sports content, and we're delighted to be supporting another very exciting World Boxing Super Series final,” said Simon Williamson, chief commercial officer at Friend MTS.
