Global sports provider, Eleven Sports, has secured live and exclusive rights to the 2017 and 2018 IJF World Judo Championships in Belgium, Luxembourg and USA.
Eleven has been showing coverage of the 2017 edition since it began on Monday 28 August in Budapest, Hungary, and will continue to do so through to the end of the championships on 3 September.
The 2018 event will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan. Eleven Sports will also show the 2017 and 2018 IJF World Judo Tours exclusively in the same territories.
Danny Menken, Group Managing Director, Eleven Sports, said: “We are very pleased to bring international sporting action from the IJF World Judo Championships to fans across our multiple markets.
