You don’t want to tune in at 11:05 PM only to see a replay of Joshua’s glove touching the canvas. That’s the stuff of nightmares. So here’s my simple rule: Set an alarm for 10:15 PM UK time. That gives you a fifteen-minute safety net. If the fight starts early, you’re a genius. If it starts late, you’re just staring at a black screen while the announcer talks about undercard stats. Either way, you’re covered.

And please, for the love of all that is holy, don’t rely on “just after the football”. That’s how you end up watching a VAR replay of a throw-in while missing Anthony Joshua’s knockout punch. Boxing is not your friend when it comes to punctuality.
A quick note on the undercard (because it actually matters)
The undercard starts around 7:00 PM UK time. There are some decent scraps on there, but let’s be honest: you’re probably going to skip the first two hours to make dinner or doom-scroll. Just make sure you’re back by 9:30 PM. That’s when the “co-feature” fights start heating up. The main event ring walks will generally begin around 10:30 PM, but don’t blame me if it slips to 11:15 PM because someone’s robe got stuck in a door.
The promoters love a bit of drama. They’ll milk every slow-motion walkout. You might see Paul dancing to something obnoxious, then Joshua staring like a statue for five minutes. It’s theatre. You’ve been warned.
