So, what’s the current magic number? For most big Joshua fights, assuming the card is stacked, the main event ring walk will happen between 11 PM and 1 AM UK time. Yes, that’s a two-hour window, because boxing is chaos. The key is to check the official broadcaster’s schedule—whether it’s Sky Sports Box Office, DAZN, or whoever holds the rights this time. They usually post a “timeline” an hour before the show.
If you want a safer bet, aim for the second-to-last undercard fight. That fight often ends around 10:30 PM UK time, giving you a 30–60 minute buffer before the main event. Set an alarm for 11 PM and you’ll likely catch the intros. But don’t blink; that’s when they might suddenly sprint the ring walk if the earlier fights were quick.
Here’s a pro tip from a veteran: just stay awake for the whole broadcast and nap in the afternoon. Treat it like a World Cup final or a New Year’s Eve party. The “casual” approach of “I’ll just check the time” is a guaranteed way to miss the knockout. Trust me, I’ve learned the hard way.
What If You’re Watching from Europe or the US?
For my readers in Europe, you’re usually one hour ahead of the UK, so add an extra hour to those late-night times (midnight to 2 AM). If you’re in the United States, you lucky devils on the East Coast, the main event likely starts around 6 PM to 8 PM—perfect for a normal evening. West Coast? You’ll be waking up early (around 3 PM to 5 PM) to catch the action live with your morning coffee.
What time is the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight on in the UK? How
And if you’re in Australia, well, you’re used to this madness. You’ll probably be watching at 9 AM to 11 AM on a Sunday, which is pretty civilised compared to the UK’s graveyard shift. But remember, time zones are just a suggestion when it comes to boxing.
