What time is Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua in New Zealand?

What time is the main event in New Zealand?

• Main event ringwalks are scheduled for 10:30 PM ET / 4:30 PM NZDT on Saturday, 20 December 2025 (DAZN).
• ESPN pegs the ringwalks closer to 11:00 PM ET (5:00 PM NZDT) (ESPN).

Both times fall in the mid-to-late afternoon for New Zealand — perfect for a Saturday watch party.

What time is the undercard in New Zealand?

• Preliminary fights begin at 4:45 PM ET / 10:45 AM NZDT (Netflix Tudum).
• The main card starts at 8:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM NZDT (ESPN).

That gives you a solid three-hour window of undercard action before the marquee bout.

What are the ringwalk times for New Zealand?

• DAZN reports ringwalks scheduled for 10:30 PM ET / 4:30 PM NZDT (DAZN).
• ESPN expects them closer to 11:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM NZDT (ESPN).
• ABC News Australia reports the main event around 2:30 PM AEDT, which converts to 4:00 PM NZDT (ABC News Australia).

The takeaway: plan for a 4:30 PM start, but be ready for up to 30 minutes of flexibility.

The implication: New Zealand viewers get a rare afternoon mega-fight, but the exact ringwalk minute isn’t locked until the undercard finishes.

Where can I watch Jake Paul fight in NZ?

Can I watch on Netflix in New Zealand?

• Yes, the entire event streams live exclusively on Netflix in New Zealand (Netflix Tudum).
• No other streaming service carries the live broadcast in NZ (Netflix Tudum).

Is DAZN available in NZ?

• DAZN operates in New Zealand but is not the official broadcaster for this event; Netflix is the exclusive live stream (DAZN).

Are there any free streaming options?

• No free-to-air option exists. The fight is available only through a Netflix subscription (Yahoo News New Zealand).

What this means: Netflix is the only game in town for live viewing in NZ. DAZN may have highlights afterward, but not the live stream.

Do I need a Netflix subscription?

• Yes – a Netflix membership is required, but there is no additional pay-per-view charge (Netflix Tudum).

Can I use a free trial?

• Netflix no longer offers a free trial in New Zealand (Netflix subscription terms).

The cost is effectively zero beyond your existing plan — no hidden fees.

The trade-off: you can’t sidestep the subscription, but you don’t need to buy a PPV pass either. If you’re already a Netflix user, it’s essentially free.

What is the undercard and running order for Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua?

• Main card: 8:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM NZDT (ESPN)

The running order is standard: prelims fill the early afternoon, main card runs through the mid-afternoon, and the headliner closes out around 4:30 PM NZDT.

The pattern: three clear blocks — a warm-up block (prelims), a competitive block (main card), and the climax (Paul vs Joshua). Know which block matters to you.

When are the ringwalk times for Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua?

What time are the ringwalks in New Zealand?

• Target: 10:30 PM ET / 4:30 PM NZDT (DAZN)
• Possible: 11:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM NZDT (ESPN)

For NZ, the afternoon slot is far more viewer-friendly than the overnight hours for Europe and the UK.

The implication: if you’re in New Zealand, you’re watching at a civilised hour — but don’t confuse “civilised” with “punctual”.

“The main event ringwalks are expected around 10:30 p.m. ET on Friday, December 19.”

— DAZN (streaming platform)

“Main event around 4pm Saturday 20 December.”

— ABC News Australia (Australian public broadcaster)

“The prelims begin at 4:45 p.m. ET, with the main card following at 8:00 p.m. ET.”

— Netflix Tudum (official event page)

The fight marks a rare opportunity for New Zealand boxing fans to watch a heavyweight crossover event in broad daylight. But the uncertainty around exact ringwalk timing means planning for a buffer — treat 4:30 PM as the earliest, not the guaranteed window. For Kiwi viewers, the choice is simple: keep Netflix active, set a reminder for 10:45 AM NZDT for the prelims, and settle in for an afternoon of boxing. Miss the live stream? On-demand replays will likely appear on Netflix within hours.
