The massive heavyweight clash between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul will take place this Friday, December 19 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, home of the Miami Heat.
The main card begins at 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT and will stream live and exclusively on Netflix. The main event ring walks are tentatively scheduled for around 10:30 pm ET/7:30 pm PT, depending on how long the highly anticipated preliminary fights last.
Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs) is a former two-time unified heavyweight champion, Olympic gold medalist and one of the biggest names in boxing. He returns 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 top betting favorite, looking to quickly dispatch the controversial star and prove that he is still an elite contender.

Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) is taking the biggest risk of his boxing career, moving up to heavyweight to face his first legitimate, active, credentialed professional boxer. Paul, who is coming off his highly publicized exhibition with Mike Tyson last year, has primarily faced former MMA stars. He hopes to leverage his speed, power and high ring IQ to overcome the massive size and experience the mismatch against Joshua, looking to shock the world in one of the biggest events in the history of combat sports.
The fight has captured global attention and is expected to attract record viewership for Netflix, as Paul believes it will deliver an emphatic upset and end Joshua’s championship aspirations.
