Where can I watch Jake Paul’s next fight?

Jake Paul’s next fight will be shown by DAZN as a pay-per-view (PPV) event. The sports streaming service will take the rights for Paul’s upcoming bout after ESPN+ covered his match with Tommy Fury earlier this year.
DAZN’s PPV coverage means there will be no terrestrial broadcast, nor cable or satellite coverage, in the United States, meaning the fight can only be caught online this weekend.
Those with ESPN+, however will not be shut out either. DAZN and Most Valuable Promotions announced earlier this week that they had struck a deal for the former to also carry the fight at the accepted PPV price, allowing more boxing fans to get their fix across the nation.
What is Jake Paul’s boxing record?
Bar a lone amateur bout victory over fellow social media star Deji Olatunji in 2018, all of Jake Paul’s subsequent fights have come at professional level, starting when he picked up a technical knockout victory over YouTuber Ali Eson Gib on debut in January 2020.
Since then, he has scored a string of impressive victories, landing a knockout result against former NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion Nate Robinson in November 2020, before turning his attention to other combat sports opponents with a shock win over an ex-UFC star in Ben Askern the following April.

A pair of bouts with Tyron Woodley helped extended a perfect record for Paul, before his unanimous decision victory over Anderson Silva just under a year ago in October 2020 took him to a 6-0 record, and set the stage for his biggest bout to date with Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia.
Defeat to the Briton marked the first major setback of his career, but with Diaz now on the cards, will Paul reboot his boxing career with another statement victory in Texas?
How many rounds will Jake Paul’s next fight be?

Jake Paul’s next fight will last 10 rounds, making it the longest bout of his professional career so far. The Problem Child previously fought his first two matches over six rounds, while all subsequent fights have been eight rounds.
This is still a figure below most major championship bouts, however, with marquee boxing fights typically running to 12 rounds. Paul will not be the only one facing new territory when it comes to fight length too, with UFC bouts historically between three and five rounds, making this potentially the longest matchup of Diaz’s career as well.
Who is on Jake Paul’s next fight card?

While The Problem Child will top the bill in Dallas, both Paul and Diaz are far from the only ones looking to taste success when they take to the ring this weekend.
The fight card is set to be sub-headlined by undisputed featherweight champion Amanda Serrano as she puts her IBF, IBO, WBA, WBC, and WBO titles on the line against Heather Hardy, in a rematch almost four years in the making following their prior encounter.
Alan Sanchez is set to square off with Angel Beltran on the main card too, with Chris Avila meeting Jeremy Stephens in a welterweight contest as well. The only other fight set to go 10 rounds beyond the top two bouts is a super middleweight contest between Shadasia Green and Olivia Curry.
