This Saturday's fight between David "Hayemaker" Haye and Mark "The Dominator" di Mori in London will be the first boxing match to be broadcast live for virtual reality.

Last year, Showtime released a 360-degree video of the fight between Daniel Jacobs and Peter Quillin as a virtual reality-viewable experience, but it wasn't live.

The Hayemaker vs. The Dominator match will be broadcast through the Hayemaker 360 app, produced by IM360.

The company will be using multiple cameras to create a 360-degree video where viewers will be able to pan in all directions and view the match from different perspectives. The app will also include exclusive VR content on Haye's workout and everyday life.

"I’m fascinated by new emerging technologies, and am constantly looking to embrace the digital world in order to connect with my fans," Hayemaker said in a press release posted to his website. "With this in mind, I’m thrilled to bring immersive VR technology to big time boxing — allowing the public to stand alongside me in the ring, letting them see what I see and experience every punch."

The app is only for Android smartphones and tablets, and requires a virtual reality headset (Google Cardboard, Gear VR, etc.) for the VR to work. The Hayemaker 360 app is available worldwide in the Google Play store, except in France, for some reason.

iOS users won't be able to get in on the VR action, but will be able to see the fight as a 360-degree video on IM360's website.

Embedded below is Showtime's 360-degree video of the Daniel Jacobs versus Peter Quillin match from December:

IM360's live boxing VR broadcast is yet another first for virtual reality. As VR becomes more mainstream, VR sports broadcasts could become the norm, allowing fans to get as close to the action without having to physically be at a venue.

The live VR broadcast of the NBA season opener between the Golden State Warriors and the New Orleans Pelicans proved broadcasting sports live in VR is more than just a gimmick. While we won't know until after the live VR broadcast how smooth the stream will be, hopefully it'll be better than what Mashable's tech analyst Adario Strange experienced when he tried the live NBA VR broadcast.
