The launch of the Boxing News app is the first from a new multi-year commercial deal between Checkd Dev and iD Sports Media.

The launch of the Boxing News app is the latest milestone for Checkd Group’s in-house technology division, following on from the successful launch of its proprietary FlashPicks app across North America last year.
“We think there is a clear gap for a product like this within boxing and it’s fantastic for us to be able to partner with someone with the credibility and long-standing tradition such as Boxing News,” the Managing Director for Checkd Dev, Adam Patton, said. “We are delighted to deliver a product that we believe will resonate strongly with boxing enthusiasts all over the world.
“The combination of Checkd Dev’s unrivalled knowledge when it comes to sports betting technology and the contacts and expertise of the iD Sports Media team is a winning one. This launch is the first step in what will undoubtedly be a long and successful partnership.”
“In seeking a partner to deliver the Boxing News app, we looked to identify a developer that could create a compelling product with a slick and intuitive user journey,” the Managing Director for iD Sports Media, Rob Tebbutt, said. “Checkd Dev has provided an app that succeeds in engaging with the audience we know so well. With 2024 shaping up to be a huge year for the sport, we are convinced the Boxing News app will establish itself as a must-have for boxing fans and become an essential part of fight nights for hardcore and casual boxing fans alike.”
“The team at Checkd Dev have created an app that will help to bring boxing fans closer to the action than ever before,” the Chief Marketing Operations Office for Bet365, Neil Fairweather, said. “The Boxing News app is a very engaging product, based around a brand identity that has roots going back more than a century.
“We look forward to working in partnership with both iD Sports Media and Checkd moving forward as the boxing world prepares for a heavyweight title bout of historical significance.”

Together, we are committed to giving brands and fans a deeper statistics of competitive Counter-Strike, powered by metrics that truly matter,” shared Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Head of Sales & Partnerships at StarLadder.
