When is Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua?
The next big boxing fight on Netflix is coming to the streaming service this weekend. YouTube star turned boxer Jake Paul will be stepping into the ring to face his toughest challenge yet - Anthony Joshua.
The former world heavyweight champion is returning to the ring for the first time since his loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024. The fight is set to take place on Friday (December 19) in America - with the coverage set to start at 1am on Saturday (December 20) in the UK.
Netflix users could land £1,000 bill with simple mistake
In recent years, the streaming giant has well and truly dived into the world of sports broadcasting. Ranging from golf and tennis to boxing and even the NFL.
If you are intrigued to see how Paul gets on against Anthony Joshua you might be tempted to tune in since it is on Netflix. However, if you do decide to put the fight on, make sure you have a TV licence - at least if you want to watch it live.
UK viewers don’t normally need to have paid the licence fee to watch most things on Netflix - however live events still require you to be covered by one. If you are caught watching a live broadcast on streaming without having a TV licence, you could risk landing a fine of as much as £1,000.
If you don’t stay up late to watch the boxing live and instead watch it on demand - then you will be fine. It is the live coverage that requires a TV licence.
