The massive heavyweight clash between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul is set to take place this Friday, December 19, at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, home of the Miami Heat.
The main card starts at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT and will be streamed live and exclusively on Netflix. The main event ringwalks are tentatively scheduled for around 10:30 p.m. ET / 7:30 p.m. PT, depending on how long the highly anticipated undercard fights last.
Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) is a former two-time unified heavyweight champion, an Olympic Gold medalist, and one of the biggest names in boxing. He is returning to the ring after a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois last year and subsequent elbow surgery. Despite the layoff, Joshua enters the fight as the significant betting favorite, looking to quickly dispatch the controversial star and prove he is still an elite contender.
Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) is taking the most significant risk of his boxing career, moving up to heavyweight to face his first legitimate, active, and credentialed professional boxer. Paul, who is coming off his highly-publicized exhibition with Mike Tyson last year, has primarily faced former MMA stars. He is hoping to leverage his speed, power, and high ring IQ to overcome the massive size and experience disparity against Joshua, looking to shock the world in one of the biggest events in combat sports history.
The fight has captured global attention and is expected to bring in a record-breaking viewing audience for Netflix, as Paul believes he will deliver an emphatic upset and end Joshua's championship aspirations.
