Why Is the Fight So Late in the UK?
The main event is timed for prime time in the United States, where Netflix has a huge audience. A 1:00 AM ring walk in Cardiff lands at 8:00 PM on the US East Coast. The late finish is also one reason the fight went to the Principality Stadium, which has a roof and could accommodate a late night.
One extra detail for UK fans: British Summer Time ends on October 25, so every UK time for this fight is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Is the Start Time Confirmed?
Not yet. Netflix has not published the official broadcast times. An application has been made to Cardiff Council for a 1:00 AM ring walk, and the promoters have said it could slip towards 2:00 AM. We will update this page the moment the official schedule is released.
