While you wait, do the following: One, watch the undercard. There’s usually a future star fighting—spot them before they’re famous. Two, stretch. Yes, stretch. You’ll be jumping off your couch when the bell rings.
Three, charge your phone. Halfway through the ring walk, you’ll want to send a photo to your friend captioned, “He’s coming!” And four, hydrate. Seriously, boxing is thirsty work—even for viewers.
A Quick Global Time Cheat Sheet (So You Can Gloat About Being Prepared)
If you’re in New York: 6 PM ET. Los Angeles: 3 PM PT. Dubai: 2 AM next day (ouch). Sydney: 8 AM next day (breakfast boxing, anyone?). Wherever you are, just add or subtract accordingly. You’re a time-zone ninja now.
And remember: if you miss the exact ring walk, don’t panic. The announcers will recap it like it’s the Super Bowl. You’ll still see the highlights on YouTube within minutes.
