Thursday is the night YouTube megastars Jake Paul and AnEsonGib climb into the ring in Miami to settle their differences. The fight isn’t a YouTube-only exclusive, despite the fact Paul and Gib have both built their fame on the platform.
With the help of Paul’s older brother Logan and KSI, a niche has been carved in the boxing world for these kinds of novelty bouts as a part of legitimate boxing shows.
Paul-Gib is the co-main event on an impressive DAZN card that features three world-title bouts. Here is how you can watch Paul and Gib go at it, in addition to the more traditional boxing matches on tap.
Time: Thursday at 9 pm ET

What You Get With the Subscription?
DAZN has almost weekly boxing shows featuring a variety of fighters attached to the Golden Boy and Matchroom Boxing stables. That means you’ll get to watch every one of Jaime Munguia, Ryan Garcia, Demetrius Andrade, Canelo Alvarez, Anthony Joshua’s fights and more. With Canelo’s upcoming fight with Japan’s Ryota Murata reportedly signed for late May, DAZN will be the only way to watch the fight in the United States
There is no additional PPV cost for any of the fights. In addition to boxing, the DAZN subscription also gives fans access to all Bellator MMA events, as well as Combate Americas, and a few other smaller promotions.
In addition to combat sports, cricket and snooker, DAZN subscribers also get original programming like the Ak and Barak Show, the Pat McAfee Show, cricket.
DAZN saw massive success for the Logan Paul vs. KSI rematch in 2019, and with Jake Paul having an even bigger YT following than his brother, there is a chance this fight could significant numbers as well.
However, the night of the fight is a little odd, but it’s understandable considering this is Super Bowl week, and the fight takes place in Miami. In the event you like boxing matches that feature full-time fighters competing for world championships, the main event will see WBO Middleweight Champion Demetrius Andrade face Luke Keeler. Also IBF Super Featherweight Champion Tevin Farmer defends his title against Joseph Diaz.
In all, the show should be pretty entertaining with a diverse set of fights for hardcore and casual boxing fans.
