Netflix says Paul-Joshua drew 33M viewers

An estimated 33 million viewers globally watched the Dec. 19 boxing match between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua on Netflix, the streaming platform announced Tuesday.

Joshua, a former two-time unified heavyweight champion, knocked out Paul, a YouTube star turned boxer, in the sixth round at Kaseya Center in Miami.

In comparison, 60 million households tuned in to Netflix for Paul's clash with Mike Tyson in November 2024.

Netflix has over 300 million subscribers worldwide.

Paul-Joshua marked the fourth boxing event Netflix has been involved in. The company helped promote Paul-Tyson last year and Katie Taylor-Amanda Serrano 3 and Terence Crawford-Canelo Álvarez earlier in 2025.
