As mentioned, it's not unusual for a fight elsewhere in the world, it's just that instead of the graphics saying e.g. Showtime or ESPN, it's a broadcaster that also operates in the UK. What is a bit unusual but seems to be happening more often recently, is that this fight was available on two PPV channels here. It also happened with Joshua's previous Saudi fight in December, which was on DAZN and TNT Sports Box Office. DAZN's graphics as host broadcaster were seen on TNT, including their apology caption for the loss of sound they were experiencing (but TNT weren't!).
There's also the Tyson Fury fight which was due to go ahead last month but now hopefully will be in May, which is due to be shown in the UK on all three PPV channels- Sky, TNT and DAZN!
