Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua headline a stacked night of boxing in Miami on Friday.

A professional eight-round heavyweight fight between the YouTuber-turned-pugilist and former two-time unified world champion tops the bill at Kaseya Center, which is being broadcast around the world live on Netflix.

But there is also plenty of other action to look forward to on a busy undercard, which includes four women’s world title bouts, exciting up-and-coming prospects and even a clash between two former UFC superstars.

Chief support on the night comes from American superstar Alycia Baumgardner, who defends her unified WBA, IBF and WBO super-featherweight belts against Canada’s Leila Beaudoin.

The fight will consist of 12 three-minute rounds in line with men’s championship contests, rather than the usual two-minute rounds for women’s boxing. The WBC’s continued opposition to the switch led to Baumgardner vacating their title earlier this year.

UFC middleweight icon Anderson Silva takes on ex-UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in a boxing battle between two MMA legends who have both previously fought Paul and lost, twice in Woodley’s case.

Amateur World Championship gold medalist and US Olympian Jahmal Harvey takes part in only his second professional bout against a fellow undefeated featherweight prospect in Colombia’s Kevin Cervantes.

New Zealand’s Cherneka Johnson defends her undisputed bantamweight titles against unbeaten Canadian challenger Amanda Galle, while Caroline Dubois is also a late addition to the card in Florida.

Dubois, the younger sister of former men’s IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois, signed with Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) last week and is now poised to quickly make the latest defence of her WBC lightweight title against Italy’s Camilla Panetta.

Another huge night of women’s boxing under the MVP banner kicks off with Costa Rica’s three-division world champion Yokasta Valle putting her WBC strawweight title on the line against Yadira Bustillos.

Before that, MVP welterweight Avious Griffin meets Justin Cardona after the night has officially opened with Brazil’s two-time Olympian Keno Marley facing Diarra Davis Jr.

The early prelim card begins on Friday night at 4:45pm ET, 1:45pm PT and 9:45pm GMT, being shown live on MVP’s YouTube channel and Netflix’s Tudum.

The main card on Netflix is expected to start at 8pm ET and 5pm PT, which is 1am GMT in the UK on Saturday morning.

Paul and Joshua should ring walk at around 10:30pm ET, 7:30pm PT and 3:30am GMT, though as ever the exact timings are subject to change.
