It’s all about the money. The US audience wants to watch it at a reasonable hour, like 8 PM or 10 PM Eastern Time. That makes it 1:00 AM or 3:00 AM for us. Simple math, terrible biology.
But hey, you’re not here for the logistics. You’re here because you want to see if Jake Paul can actually hang with a real heavyweight. Or if Anthony Joshua just flattens him in one round.
Let’s be honest, the internet is either going to explode with "Joshua is washed!" or "Paul is a fraud!" There’s no chill here. It’s maximum chaos, and we’re all here for the popcorn.
So, the final, concrete answer
If I had to pin a time on a dartboard, I’d say plan for 4:00 AM on the Sunday. But check the official broadcast times 24 hours before, because promoters love to play games with our sleep schedules. It’s practically a sport in itself.
The ring walks for Paul vs. Joshua will probably be around that 4 AM mark. The bell rings five minutes later, and then either you’re celebrating or crying into your cereal. No in-between, folks.
One thing to remember: Always add an hour. Boxing never starts on time. If they say 4 AM, expect the fight to start at 4:45 AM. It’s the unofficial rule of the sport. You’ve been warned.
