How To Watch Paul Vs Joshua

So, the fight is finally happening. Paul vs. Joshua. I still have to pinch myself, honestly. It’s the kind of crossover event that makes you wonder if we’re living in a video game or just a very weird timeline.

But let’s be real: you don’t care why it’s happening. You just want to know how to watch it. Right? Right. Let’s skip the existential questions and get to the good stuff.

First, the Bad News

It’s not on regular cable. Sorry. You can’t just flip to ESPN or Fox and hope for the best. This isn’t your grandpa’s heavyweight title fight.

You’re going to need a streaming service or a pay-per-view (PPV) purchase. It’s 2024, and nothing is simple anymore. But don’t worry, I’ve got you.

The Main Platform: DAZN

More than likely, this fight will live on DAZN. It’s the go-to for these big, loud, influencer-boxer-legend showdowns. Think of DAZN as the Netflix of sports, but with more trash talk and fewer documentaries about otters.

You’ll need to subscribe to DAZN first. That’s usually around $20-$25 a month, depending on your region. Then, on top of that, you’ll buy the PPV event. Yeah, it’s a double-dip. It hurts, I know. But so will Joshua’s right hand if Paul doesn’t keep his guard up.

Pro tip: Don’t wait until fight night to sign up. Do it a day early. You’ll thank me when you’re not frantically resetting your password while the opening bell rings.

What if I’m in the UK?

The UK folks have it a bit different. You’ll probably see this on Sky Sports Box Office or DAZN over there. It’s a bit of a postcode lottery, honestly.

Check your local listings like it’s 1995. And expect to pay a little extra for the privilege of watching a YouTuber fight an Olympic gold medalist. Yes, that’s the world we live in.

What About the US?

For my American friends, DAZN is your best bet. It’s the most straightforward. Sometimes these mega-fights also pop up on ESPN+ PPV or Showtime PPV, but Paul vs. Joshua screams DAZN exclusivity. Keep an eye on the official fight posters—they always scream the platform name in tiny font at the bottom.

If you have a friend with a DAZN account, now is the time to be nice to them. Offer to split the cost. Bring snacks. Don’t be a mooch.

The Actual Cost (Ouch)

We’re talking roughly $60 to $80 in the US for the PPV event, plus the subscription fee. That’s a fancy dinner for two. Or one very large pizza and a lot of soda.

Is it worth it? Look, I can’t answer that for you. But I can say: watching Joshua knock out a YouTuber in two rounds with your friends? That’s a memory. Or watching Paul somehow survive all 12 rounds? That’s a meme for the ages.

Don't Forget the Time Zone!

This is where people mess up. The main card starts at like 10 PM Eastern? Maybe later. And the ring walks for the main event? Could be midnight in New York. For the UK, that’s like 5 AM. Coffee won’t help you.

Set an alarm. Seriously. I’m not joking. Missing the first bell because you fell asleep during an undercard fight between two guys named “Slim” and “Big Tony” is a tragedy.

Get Your Setup Right

Don’t watch this on your phone’s tiny screen. Please. You’re better than that. Cast it to your TV. Or use a laptop with an HDMI cable. You want to see the sweat, the thuds, and the immediate regret on Paul’s face when he feels a real heavyweight’s power.

Also, test your internet speed. Buffering during a knockout is the worst feeling. It’s like getting knocked out yourself, but emotionally.

The Very Last Resort

If you simply refuse to pay? I won’t judge you. Some people find… alternate streams. Illegal ones. They’re usually grainy, two minutes behind the real action, and hosted by a guy named “StreamBoss69.”

Your phone will blow up with texts from friends who are ahead of you. You’ll see the knockout on Twitter before you see it on your screen. It’s a mess. Pay the money. It’s simpler.

Alright. That’s the plan. You know the platform. You know the cost. You know the time. Now, all that’s left is to grab your snacks, text your friends, and get ready for the most bizarre heavyweight fight since… well, ever.

See you on the other side. Let’s just hope Joshua doesn’t blink.
