Ade Oladipo stays as host alongside additions of Anna Woolhouse, Ariana Bravo, Olivia Wayne and Jolie Sharpe

DAZN has made four new additions to its boxing presentation team, as well as renewing its deal with host Ade Oladipo.
This includes four new faces, Anna Woolhouse (host and reporter), Ariana Bravo (reporter), Olivia Wayne (reporter) and Jolie Sharpe (social reporter and creator).
Woolhouse joins after being Sky Sports' lead boxing presenter, and will work alongside Oladipo as co-host and reporter. She will continue to host the World Darts Championships alongside her new role, which is among a number of other sports she has worked in.
Bravo has fronted Formula 1 coverage for both Channel 4 and F1TV, and will deliver fight week athlete interviews as well as ringside coverage at key EMEA fight nights. Sharpe will bring fans behind the scenes content and deliver ‘tunnel talk’ first word interviews with boxers as they step out of the ring, having already fronted DAZN’s Serie A football coverage and co-hosting the Formula 1 podcast Up To Speed.
Finally, Wayne has previously worked on Sky Sports' Good Morning Sports Fans, as well as in fashion and entertainment.

Meanwhile, Oladipo has signed a two-year extension to his contract with DAZN, who he has worked with since 2021. Oladipo will continue as the platform’s main anchor across its EMEA boxing coverage, a role which he shares with his US counterpart, Kate Scott, and work with analysts and commentators Tony Bellew, Carl Frampton, Adam Smith, Darren Barker and Barry Jones to present shows including the upcoming heavyweight clash between Fabio Wardley and Daniel Duboois on 9 May, and the return of Oleksandr Usyk against former kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven at the Pyramids of Giza on 23 May.
Oladipo said: “I can’t quite put into words how happy I am to extend my contract with DAZN. DAZN has been my family for nearly five years now, and to add another two years to that – and there will be many more years after that! – is just so exciting. With the rights we’ve added and the talent we’ve brought onboard, as a platform and as a broadcaster, we’re only getting bigger and better. I can’t wait to see what these next two years have in store for me, and for DAZN as a whole. Let’s get going.”
