Boxing Tonight: UK start times, live stream, TV channel and fight card
Jake Paul takes on a seemingly impossible challenge tonight when he faces former two-time heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua in a professionally-sanctioned fight
Jake Paul believes he can pull off the biggest upset in boxing history tonight when he takes on Anthony Joshua.
Paul has built his boxing career on the back of wins over ex-MMA fighters – and a 58-year-old Mike Tyson. His only fight against a legitimate opponent saw him lose to Tommy Fury two years ago. But he insists he can knock out former two-time heavyweight world champion Joshua in Miami tonight.
The Brit has not fought since he was knocked out by Daniel Dubois at Wembley 15 months ago. He very much sees this outing as a precursor to a huge 2026 with another warm-up bout pencilled in for February. Joshua then plans to take on bitter rival Tyson Fury in September in what would be one of the biggest fights in British boxing history. But for now, here is everything you need to know about tonight’s showdown…

Quotes corner
Anthony Joshua: “We fight. We’re licensed to kill. I’m sure many people don’t understand it, but this is what my job is. When you’re in that ring, it’s a dangerous place to be and anything can happen. You hope your opponent leaves the ring safely, but if they don’t, you still have to go to bed knowing that you just done your job. It wasn’t personal.”
Jake Paul: “Yeah, he absolutely takes me seriously, and rightfully so. It’s smart on his part, but I believe he’s locked in and knows that this could potentially be the biggest loss and will be the biggest loss of his career. He has so much to lose in this fight. That’s what I plan on bringing to the table is the strategy behind this. I’ve got him in the corner and I know that those nerves are going to kick in once he sees what I can do to him.”
