How To Bet on Paul vs. Joshua in a Non-Legal Sports Betting State

• Texas
• Utah

If you happen to reside (or are visiting) one of the states above, you can still bet on Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua tonight on Netflix by signing up with a prediction market like Kalshi or Novig.

Paul vs. Joshua Marks Monumental Netflix Heavyweight Clash

For better or worse, YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul is stepping into the ring against a two-time heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist in Joshua. That alone is a scary proposition. You add to that the fact that the fight will be a professionally sanctioned heavyweight bout with 10-ounce gloves and eight 3-minute rounds — it sounds downright dangerous for the 28-year-old Paul.

Paul has certainly made a career of taking big risks but none will be bigger than this fight with Joshua. Standing 6-foot-6 at 245-pounds, the 36-year-old Brit has consistently competed at the elite level of the heavyweight division and while Paul maintains that his opponent has a compromised chin, pointing to past bouts with Andy Ruiz and Daniel Dubois, we’ll get to see just how compromised that chin really is tonight.

While this fight might not carry the same championship implications of Netflix’s last boxing showcase between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford, if Paul were to somehow shock the world and defeat in Joshua in any capacity then it would completely turning the boxing world on its head.

Bet on Paul vs. Joshua No Matter Where You Are

Tonight’s heavyweight clash between Paul and Joshua is a monumental sporting event whether you hate it or love it. Prospective bettors across North America will be interested, and there will be options for you no matter where you’re located in the United States or Canada.

Again, this fight will be free if you have a Netflix subscription. The main card also includes a number of intriguing matchups including Alycia Baumgardner vs. Leila Beaudoin and Anderson Silva vs. Tyron Woodley, and you’ll have the opportunity to place bets on those fights as well.
