The only league-level soccer match in DAZN's top 10 most-streamed events is Inter's 2-0 victory over city rival Milan on September 21.

5: The YouTube fight between prominent creators KSI and Logan Paul — boxing (sort of).

One of the most polarizing events in DAZN's schedule was a fight between two novice boxers, YouTube creators by trade: KSI and Logan Paul.

Regardless, it was also one of their most popular events and they've got a follow-up, with Paul's brother Jake taking on AnEsonGib on Thursday, January 30 in Miami.

The light heavyweight title fight between Sergey Kovalev and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez was delayed to accommodate the main event fight between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz at UFC 244 in November.

Though the delay infuriated boxing Twitter, it proved a shrewd business move as DAZN says it encouraged sign-ups and saw the Canelo bout, another win for the Mexican, gatecrash its top 5 most-streamed events for the year, coming in at no.4.

3: The UEFA Champions League semifinal between Liverpool and Barcelona — soccer.

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur had gotten to the UEFA Champions League final thanks to highlight-reel performances in the semifinal stage.

Liverpool beat Spurs 2-0 on the night in a relatively boring match, but the tournament showpiece was still one of DAZN's most successful of the year.

1: The heavyweight world title rematch between Andy Ruiz and Anthony Joshua — boxing.

1: The heavyweight world title rematch between Andy Ruiz and Anthony Joshua — boxing.

Anthony Joshua is one of the jewel's in DAZN's crown, and his story is becoming every bit more compelling as a loss now helps define his journey.

He was supposed to be introduced to American audiences mid-summer last year as this hulking heavyweight colossus, but he was humiliatingly beaten by Andy Ruiz Jr., and sent back to Britain with the first loss of his career, knocked down four times en route to a shock stoppage loss.

The rematch, though, proved to be big business for DAZN. It was the broadcaster's most-streamed event of the year, and saw Joshua win back the world titles he had lost earlier in the year. Joshua became a two-time heavyweight world champion, and will likely make a title defense on DAZN in the coming months.
