Okay, so you’ve heard the news, right? Anthony Joshua is fighting Jake Paul. Yes, that Jake Paul. The YouTuber. The Disney kid. The man who once nearly burned down his own house on camera.
But here’s the kicker: the fight is in the UK. And if you’re reading this in British time, you’re about to have a very weird Saturday night. Or Sunday morning. Honestly, we’re not sure yet.
Let’s break down why this is the most bonkers, fun thing to happen to boxing since Mike Tyson bit an ear.
The UK Time Zone Nightmare
Fights in the US usually happen at silly o’clock for us Brits. We’re used to staying up until 4 a.m. on a work night to watch a bloke punch another bloke. But this one is different.
Jake Paul vs AJ is scheduled for a UK stadium. That means prime evening time. Think 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. British Summer Time. No red-eye special. No falling asleep during the undercard.
You can actually have dinner first. Wild, right?
