Jacobs, who is now signed with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing will be taking his talents to DAZN along with the other fighters from the promotion. He'd like for his first fight on DAZN to come after a win, but the Ukrainian-born Derevyanchenko will have something to say about that.
In addition to the main event, there will also be two other world-title fights as well.
Here is a look at the specifics for the broadcast:

Undercard
Daniel Jacobs vs. Sergiy Derevyanchenko - vacant IBF World Middleweight Title
Alberto Machado vs. Yuandale Evans - WBA World Super Featherweight Title
Heather Hardy vs. Shelly Vincent - vacant WBO World Featherweight Title
Machado and Hardy are the other two stars being showcased. Hardy will be rematching Vincent, whom she beat via majority decision in August 2016. Hardy doubles as a mixed martial artist with Bellator. In fact, Vincent crashed the weigh-ins for Hardy's most-recent bout with the MMA promotion in an effort to force the rematch.It looks as if she got her wish.

Perhaps the rematch will be a spirited battle that kicks the show off with a bang. Jacobs hopes to win his bout convincingly. It could put him on track to face Canelo Alvarez in a big-money matchup on DAZN in the future.
