Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua: Match card, start time, telecast details & more
This will be Jake Paul’s biggest challenge of his boxing career so far!
Judgment Day is more than a slogan. It’s the night both Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua step into the ring with their reputations on the line.
One is boxing’s most polarizing modern attraction, the other a former heavyweight king fighting to remind the world who he is. On December 20, their collision promises spectacle, scrutiny, and genuine consequence.
Jake Paul enters the biggest fight of his career with momentum and belief. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has steadily built a 12–1 professional record, silencing some critics while daring others to judge him even louder. Facing Anthony Joshua, however, is a different level entirely. This is not a novelty opponent, it’s a full-scale heavyweight test.
For Joshua, this bout represents redemption. The Olympic gold medalist and two-time unified heavyweight champion returns after a 15-month absence, determined to erase memories of his brutal loss to Daniel Dubois. Bigger, stronger, and under intense pressure, the 36-year-old knows another defeat could redefine his legacy.
The main card begins at 01:00 GMT on December 20, headlined by Paul vs Joshua in an eight-round heavyweight contest.
The preliminary card starts at 21:45 GMT on December 19 and features multiple world title fights, including Alycia Baumgardner defending her super-featherweight crowns and undisputed bantamweight gold on the line.
With elite champions, crossover stars, and a headline fight dripping with risk, Judgment Day is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about boxing events of the year.

Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua: Fight rules
Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua meet this week in a massive heavyweight boxing showdown streaming live on Netflix. Unlike some of Paul’s previous bouts, this is a fully sanctioned professional fight, not an exhibition, and the result will officially count on Joshua’s record, which stands at 28–4 with 25 knockouts.
The contest is scheduled for eight three-minute rounds, with both fighters wearing standard 10oz gloves, underlining the seriousness of the matchup. There are also notable contractual conditions in place for Joshua, who cannot weigh in above 245 pounds. That represents a significant cut from recent fights, including 252.5 pounds against Daniel Dubois and a career-high 255.4 pounds against Jermaine Franklin.
Joshua has not weighed under 245 pounds since his rematch loss to Oleksandr Usyk in August 2022. However, there is no rehydration clause, meaning he can regain as much weight as he chooses after the weigh-in.
