Let’s just say this isn’t your typical boxing match. On one side, you have Anthony Joshua: the two-time unified heavyweight champion, a man who rebuilt himself after the Ruiz upset, and who still carries that Olympic gold medallist glide.
On the other? Jake Paul. The man who turned “Hey, guys” into a fighting career. The guy who knocked out Mike Tyson’s sparring partner and then promoted a line of energy drinks. It’s a collision of worlds. One man fights for legacy; the other fights for the memes and the pay-per-view cut.
If this fight ever gets signed, it won’t be a contest—it’ll be a spectacle. And you know what? I’m not mad about it. I’m just trying to figure out how to watch the trainwreck or the masterpiece unfold.
So, Where Do You Actually Tune In? (The Grind)
Right now, there’s no official date. No poster. No “Save the Date” email from your cable provider. But that doesn’t mean you can’t start preparing, my friend. Because the second this gets announced, the scramble for streams will be real.
If it happens, it’s almost certainly a Pay-Per-View event. Jake Paul fights are famous for this. You’ll likely need to buy it through DAZN (which is basically the main hub for anything Jake Paul or Matchroom Boxing touches) or via ESPN+ if Anthony Joshua’s team pushes it that way.

Think of it like this: You’re paying for the chaos. You’re paying for the moment where a YouTuber lands a lucky shot on a man who benches 400 pounds. Or you’re paying for the moment Joshua lands one clean jab and the fight ends in 30 seconds. Both outcomes are worth the ticket price, honestly.
The Streaming Wars (And Your Wallet)
Here’s where it gets tricky. You might need two subscriptions. One for DAZN, one for Sky Sports (if you’re in the UK) or a specific cable bundle. Ugh, I know. It’s the worst part about modern boxing. It’s like trying to watch a movie that’s only available on three different platforms at the same time.
My advice? Wait for the official announcement. Check Jake Paul’s Instagram story (because that’s where he announces world wars, apparently) and Anthony Joshua’s official website. Don’t buy a subscription until you see the actual press conference. Trust me, you don’t want to be stuck with a $50 PPV charge for a fight that gets postponed because Jake pulled a muscle doing a backflip on TikTok.
