UK fans briefly furious as Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo DAZN stream goes down midway through fight

British boxing fans were furious for a few minutes during Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo on Saturday night.

Thousands of supporters in the UK stayed up into the early hours to watch the fight, which was broadcast by DAZN in the country.

However, the streaming service experienced issues during the main event.

Having worked well for most of the undercard, the broadcast crashed during Canelo vs Charlo itself.

Footage was lost after the end of round two and only resumed at the start of round four.

What happened in the third remains a mystery to British boxing fans, who took to social media to vent their frustrations.

One wrote: "DAZN has been working all night and now the headline fight is on and it crashes."

While a second put: "There’s no way I’ve stayed up for this fight and DAZN broadcast has crashed."

A third said: "WTF DAZN we all missed round three??? Give everyone a refund!"

And another boxing fan added: "Can anyone tell me what happened with round three and four? UK DAZN stream gone down. Pathetic service."

Even ex-boxer Anthony Fowler, who previously fought on DAZN, wrote: "DAZN are taking the p*** here, WTF up at 5am for this."
