Is Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua free on Netflix?

Netflix subscribers will be capable to stream one among the most highly-anticipated fight sporting occasions of the 12 months at no additional value.

On Friday, Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua will duke it out at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. Ahead of the eight-round blockbuster bout — which is slated to be streamed completely live on Netflix — the two-time unified heavyweight champion threatened to “break” his opponent’s face and “stomp” on him.

Paul was initially slated to face off against Gervonta “Tank” Davis last month, however those plans had been axed following home violence allegations against the latter, which he denies. Back in November 2024, “El Gallo De Dorado” confronted off against Mike Tyson in what’s since been topped the most streamed global sporting event in historical past, with Netflix raking in a whopping 108 million viewers on fight night time.

Joshua will undoubtedly be the hardest opponent yet for Paul, who boasts a 12-1 skilled document. “I like to challenge myself,” he told reporters during a press convention on Nov. 21. “I like to take on the biggest, the best. I said anyone, anytime, any place — I truly mean that. No one ever thought that this would be possible, that we would be here when I first started boxing, and no one thinks I’m going to win. So join the list and be ready to be shocked.”

Though Paul is roughly 5 inches shorter and 20-30 kilos lighter than Joshua, the YouTuber-turned-boxer argued that he’d be capable to use his smaller body to a bonus. “He’s one of the best heavyweights ever, but I believe that fighting a smaller man is oftentimes harder as a heavyweight because of the speed difference and because of the foot speed, because of the angles, because of the head being off of the center,” Paul said.

“And so all of that power is great, and he’s knocked people out. I just have to avoid that one shot for eight rounds, and I believe that I can do that. So when I’m bouncing around the ring, jabbing, weaving, and doing all of these things, I know I can pick him apart and score points and make this a very, very big contest. People say, ‘Oh, I respect Jake Paul for getting in there.’ No, respect me because I’m about to win.”

While Joshua has not competed in practically 15 months since struggling a fifth-round knockout loss to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium, the 36-year-old expressed confidence that he’d be capable to beat Paul down not only bodily, however also mentally. “I think Jake is someone where I’ve got to beat him mentally, because he’s a mental person,” Joshua said.

“If I can break his soul, and I can break his mentality, then I’ve broken Jake. That’s why I say I’ve got to take his soul. It’s not just physical, I’ve got to take your soul in the ring. I’ve just seen in fights where I can see someone’s, let’s call it energy, frequency, leaving their body.

“That’s what my goal is: to do the same to you. You have that instinct. You can see it when you’re fighting. You can just see a small glimmer of someone that’s just about to start fading, and then you just keep exploiting that, keep exploiting that, keep exploiting that until some people give up. Some people get knocked out. We’ll figure out. I want to break him down spiritually and mentally.”
