After reporting a strong Q1 thanks to its Mexico results, LatAm sportsbook Codere Online is ready to enhance its visibility in the country. This will be possible thanks to a brand new sponsorship deal signed with TV Azteca for the TV channel’s flagship boxing show Box Azteca. According to the agreement, the sportsbook will become the show’s headline sponsor. 

The socially responsible company that announced a donation of $300,000 to the non-governmental organization “She Wins” in support of women’s football in mid-July will be advertised all around Mexico every Saturday starting 11 pm on the Azteca 7 channel. The sportsbook described the exciting sponsorship deal as a “deep strike in Mexico”, a country where boxing and soccer are ranked as the most watched sports.

All boxing nights will be presented by iconic commentator Rodolfo Vargas, together with professional boxers Marco Antonio Barrera with 44 wins by KO and multiple-time world champion in three different boxing weight divisions Julio Cesar Chavez, both part of the prestigious Hall of Fame. Chavez was given the title of the “world’s best boxer” by The Ring Magazine between 1990 and 1993.
