Two-time world champion Anthony Joshua makes his comeback to the ring tonight after being away for over a year, but he’s facing an unexpected opponent.
The hero of the London 2012 Olympics has arrived in Miami to face Jake Paul in a matchup reminiscent of David versus Goliath, which has captured the interest of people both within the sporting world and beyond.
The complete fight card for Jake Paul’s heavyweight match against Anthony Joshua on Friday has been finalized, including the order of the bouts, start times, and viewing options.
Paul will face off against Joshua in the main event, which will be broadcast live on Netflix along with the rest of the main card this Friday from the Kaseya Center in Miami. Transitioning from a YouTuber to a boxer, Paul is undoubtedly taking on the greatest challenge of his career as he steps up to heavyweight to compete against one of the best fighters in the division.
Joshua, an Olympic gold medalist in boxing, has encountered top-tier competition throughout his career, achieving significant victories against Wladimir Klitschko, Dillian Whyte, Joseph Parker, and former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou.
The scheduled walkout time for the Paul vs. Joshua fight is approximately 10:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
The primary event kicks off on Friday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, and it will be available to stream on Netflix at no extra charge for subscribers.
In the co-main event, Alycia Baumgardner is defending her unified featherweight title against Leila Beaudoin. Baumgardner has a professional record of 16 wins and 1 loss and previously participated in the boxing card featuring Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 3, which was also broadcast on Netflix.
Two former UFC champions will also compete on the card, with Anderson Silva going up against Tyron Woodley in a six-round cruiserweight bout at 195 pounds. Both fighters have previously lost to Paul in earlier fights, but now Silva will face Woodley in a clash between two inexperienced boxers, each aiming for a notable victory.
The last fight on the four-fight main card features a super featherweight clash between Jahmal Harvey and Kevin Cervantes.
The preliminary card is set to begin on Friday at 4:45 p.m. ET/1:45 p.m. PT and will be streamed on YouTube.
