Here’s the hard truth: this fight is dangerous. Not for you—you’re just watching from your couch. Dangerous for the idea of “legitimate” heavyweight boxing.
Joshua is a two-time unified world champion. Paul is a man who started a podcast. One of them has a gold medal. The other has a WiFi router named “El Gallo.”
But hey, the fight time is the least bonkers part of this whole mess. The real question is: why is anyone paying for this?
My Final, Very Serious Prediction
I think the fight happens around 11:45 PM Eastern. I think the ring walks take 45 minutes because of some pre-recorded music video. I think you’ll be texting your friends at 1 AM asking “Is this real life?”
And I think, deep down, you’re a little excited. Admit it. You want to see the YouTuber get folded. Or you want to see the Olympian get embarrassed for the memes.
Either way, grab a snack. Clear your schedule. The Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul fight time is coming, and it’s going to be a beautiful, confusing, late-night disaster.
Just don’t blink. Or, you know, fall asleep.
