Joshua vs Ngannou - Sky Sports Box Office

Blue Screen Encryption (8/3/24):

At 18:10 p.m. we encrypt the PPV signal. This means we filter out all viewers that haven't paid for the event. At this point you will see a BLUE SCREEN. It will state that to view the rest of the programme, you have to order and pay for the ticket.

If you have bought the event, all you need to do is re-order the tickets using your remote. You will not be charged twice. This is just a re-confirmation step.

We understand that this is frustrating to some users; but once this step is completed, you'll be able to catch the fight with plenty of time to spare!
