Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou is no longer a live event. The heavyweight fight, billed as Knockout Chaos, took place on Friday, March 8, 2024, at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh. Viewers looking for it now should search the DAZN archive for Joshua vs. Ngannou: Full Fight or Knockout Chaos: Prelims & Fight Night Replay, although replay access depends on country and account.
Historically, viewers in the United States could buy the fight through DAZN PPV for $39.99 plus a DAZN subscription, or through PPV.COM for $69.99 without a DAZN subscription. In the U.K. and Republic of Ireland, the principal alternatives were Sky Sports Box Office and DAZN.
Where could you watch Joshua vs. Ngannou legally?
DAZN was the event’s global broadcast partner, with distribution announced across more than 200 territories. In the U.K. and Ireland, Sky Sports Box Office was also an authorized broadcaster. The correct service depended on the viewer’s country and, in the U.S., whether the viewer already had a DAZN subscription.
| Location | Authorized historical option | Historical price or availability |
|---|---|---|
| United States | DAZN PPV | $39.99 for the PPV, plus a DAZN subscription |
| United States | PPV.COM | $69.99, with no DAZN subscription required |
| Canada | DAZN PPV | Contemporaneous listings reported C$39.99; this was a period-specific price |
| Canada | PPV.COM | $69.99 as announced, with no DAZN subscription required |
| United Kingdom | Sky Sports Box Office | £19.95 for self-service bookings |
| United Kingdom | DAZN PPV | Period-specific pricing; reports varied by subscriber status |
| Republic of Ireland | Sky Sports Box Office | €24.95 for self-service bookings |
| Republic of Ireland | DAZN PPV | Period-specific pricing |
| Other DAZN markets | Local DAZN service | Availability and price varied by country |
These are historical 2024 prices, not current DAZN or PPV.COM prices. The official PPV.COM announcement confirmed the U.S. and Canadian availability, $69.99 event price, subscription-free purchase, and participating cable and telecommunications distribution.
What was the event?
Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou was a 10-round heavyweight bout, not a world-title fight. Joshua entered as a former unified heavyweight champion. Ngannou was making only his second professional boxing appearance after losing a close decision to Tyson Fury in his boxing debut. The event took place at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, under the promotional title Knockout Chaos. The event branding and U.K./Ireland broadcast arrangements were announced by Sky Group.
How much did the U.S. stream really cost?
The most important distinction was between the event fee and the subscription requirement. A headline that said the fight cost $39.99 on DAZN did not describe the complete first-time purchase unless the viewer already subscribed.
Option 1: DAZN PPV
- The historical U.S. PPV charge was $39.99.
- A DAZN subscription was also required, according to contemporaneous U.S. listings from CBS Sports and other coverage.
- The subscription and PPV were separate charges.
- The subscription plan and price were specific to the 2024 event period and should not be confused with DAZN’s current 2026 plans.
This was the sensible route for someone who already paid for DAZN: the incremental event cost was the $39.99 PPV fee. A regular DAZN subscription by itself did not automatically include this PPV.
Option 2: PPV.COM
- The historical event price was $69.99.
- No DAZN subscription was required.
- The event was available through PPV.COM and participating cable or telecommunications providers in the U.S. and Canada.
For a U.S. viewer who did not want a DAZN subscription, PPV.COM was the simpler subscription-free option. Its event charge was $30 higher than the listed DAZN PPV fee, but that comparison does not include the separate DAZN subscription cost. Therefore, the cheapest route depended on whether the viewer already had DAZN and which subscription terms applied at the time.
What time did the fight start?
There was no single universally useful start time because reports used event start, preliminary coverage, PPV stream, and main-event ring walks to mean different things.
Rank #2
- EFFECTIVE IMPACT DISPERSION – Are your training gloves affecting your accuracy? The RDX gloves dissipate the force of impact across the specially made, pre-curved anatomical structure of the sparring gloves due to the presence of Quadro Dome 3 padding, which uses EVA foam and SpongeX sheet. This results in a comfortable training experience for the users of the RDX heavy boxing gloves.
- PATENT PENDING LOMA TECH DESIGN – Do you face trouble forming the perfect fist, while using boxing gloves ? RDX gloves feature a PATENT PENDING single seamless LOMA Tech design used in the palm area and thumb of the boxing gloves. This helps create an improved alignment between the fist and thumb and along with an especially designed attached thumb allows the trainees to form the perfect fist and punch better with the training gloves.
- EXCEPTIONALLY DURABLE MATERIAL – No matter how hard you punch these gloves make sure to outlast your intense training. The use of advanced caliber Maya Hide ConvEX Skin Leather in the KARA Series training gloves makes them durable and reliable for long-term use while also providing a superior look and feel during Boxing, Muay Thai, MMA, Kickboxing, and heavy bag training sessions among other similar sports.
- FULL WRAPAROUND WRIST SUPPORT – A hassle-free design with sufficient support for your wrists. The hook and loop Fastener straps provide a secure fit and make it easy to put on or take off the kickboxing gloves for men and women along with providing better wrist support due to the full wraparound wrist strap, while the dual stitching in the heavy bag gloves makes them durable and resilient for extensive training sessions.
- SWEAT-FREE EXPERIENCE – Bid farewell to those sweaty palms and hands. With multiple ventilation holes strategically placed in the thumb sections of the lightweight boxing gloves, RDX ensures proper airflow management so that its customers get a sweat-free experience. Furthermore, the advanced perforated sheet for breathable ventilation in the palm area is sweat-wicking and minimizes sweat accumulation.
| Broadcast point | Historical time | What it meant |
|---|---|---|
| Broad U.S. card coverage | Approximately 10 or 11 a.m. ET in some listings | Earlier coverage or prelim-related timing; not necessarily the main PPV card |
| PPV.COM stream | 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT | The start time stated in PPV.COM’s official announcement |
| Joshua–Ngannou ring walks | Approximately 6 p.m. ET | An estimate, with reports ranging roughly from 5:50 to 6:30 p.m. ET |
| Sky broadcast in the U.K. and Ireland | 4 p.m. local time | Sky’s advertised broadcast start |
| Expected U.K. ring walks | Approximately 11 p.m. GMT | BBC’s estimate for the main event |
The PPV.COM release listed a 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT stream start. More detailed fight-day scheduling coverage used different times for the preliminary card and the main event. BBC Sport projected the ring walks for around 11 p.m. GMT in the U.K.

Pick the symptom - the matching free tool is one click away.
Boxing broadcasts do not run to a fixed television schedule. Knockouts, long decisions, introductions, interviews, walkouts, and production segments can move the headline bout. Anyone watching specifically for Joshua and Ngannou needed to start earlier than the estimated ring-walk time.
How to buy and launch the stream
The following were the historical purchase paths. Because the fight is over, the original event tiles may now be unavailable or may redirect to a replay page.
DAZN
- Open the DAZN website for the country where you were watching.
- Create a DAZN account or sign in to an existing account.
- Confirm that the account and payment region match your actual location. Streaming rights are territorial.
- Select the Joshua–Ngannou event tile when available.
- Purchase the PPV.
- If required, complete the separate DAZN subscription purchase or select an eligible subscription plan.
- Open DAZN on the website or supported app, sign in to the same account, select the event, and start the stream.
Today, a missing Joshua–Ngannou event tile does not necessarily indicate a purchase problem; it may simply mean that the live sale has ended or the replay is not licensed in that region.
PPV.COM
- Visit PPV.COM and select the Joshua–Ngannou event, when the historical listing was live.
- Sign in or create a PPV.COM account if prompted.
- Pay the $69.99 event price.
- Launch the stream through the supported browser or device, or watch through a participating provider if you ordered it there.
Buying through PPV.COM did not create a DAZN subscription and did not require one. A PPV.COM purchase and a DAZN purchase were separate transactions, so signing into one service would not necessarily show an order made through the other.
Sky Sports Box Office in the U.K. and Ireland
Sky’s historical self-service prices were £19.95 in the U.K. and €24.95 in the Republic of Ireland. Phone bookings could add fees or surcharges. Sky also described repeat showings as part of the 2024 broadcast schedule, but those historical showings should not be treated as a current replay guarantee.
- Sky Q or Sky+: go to Channel 491 and use the green button, or navigate to Sports and then Box Office.
- Sky Glass or Sky Stream: press Home, select the event, then confirm the purchase or enter the Sky TV PIN.
- Online: use Sky’s online booking route.
- Phone: phone ordering was available, but booking fees and surcharges could apply.
- Virgin Media: contact the operator for its ordering procedure.
Sky’s complete historical booking instructions were published in its Joshua vs. Ngannou viewing guide. Sky Sports Box Office—not TNT Sports Box Office—was the named U.K. and Ireland broadcaster for this event.

Which option was best for each viewer?
If you were already a U.S. DAZN subscriber
DAZN PPV was the lower incremental-cost choice at the historical $39.99 event price. The subscription alone did not include the fight, so the PPV still had to be purchased.
If you were in the U.S. and did not want DAZN
PPV.COM cost $69.99 but avoided a new DAZN subscription. It was the clearest route for a one-event viewer who wanted to avoid signing up for another streaming service.

Sky Sports Box Office offered a direct TV and streaming purchase at the published self-service price. DAZN was an additional authorized option, but its period pricing could differ depending on the customer’s subscription status.
If you were in Canada
DAZN and PPV.COM were both listed options. Historical market listings reported DAZN PPV at C$39.99, while PPV.COM announced a $69.99 subscription-free stream. Check the service’s checkout page for the applicable currency and account terms.
If you were somewhere else
Use the local DAZN event or archive page. DAZN’s international rights announcement covered more than 200 territories, but a global announcement does not mean identical pricing, catalog access, or local availability in every country.
Could you watch Joshua vs. Ngannou for free?
The live main event was a paid broadcast in the major markets listed above. DAZN did publish authorized free material such as prelims, press coverage, weigh-ins, and highlights. Its official YouTube channel also published free prelim content and official full-card highlights.
Those videos should not be described as the free full PPV. Avoid unofficial restreams, illegal IPTV services, and sites advertising a free PPV: apart from takedown risk, they can expose viewers to malware, payment fraud, aggressive pop-ups, and account theft.

What if you were traveling?
DAZN and other broadcasters enforce territorial rights. A DAZN account that worked in one country did not guarantee access to the same event in another, and a PPV bought in one market was not automatically portable worldwide.
- Check the authorized DAZN or local broadcaster page for the country where you will actually watch.
- Confirm that the event can be purchased and streamed there before traveling.
- Do not assume a VPN will solve the problem. It may conflict with service terms, payment-region requirements, or geo-rights controls, and it does not guarantee that the event will play.
- Use the authorized service available in the country where the stream is being viewed.
The billed fight card
The running order could change during the broadcast, so the list below is the billed card rather than a promise of exact bout timing.
Main card
- Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou — heavyweight, 10 rounds
- Zhilei Zhang vs. Joseph Parker — WBO interim heavyweight title
- Rey Vargas vs. Nick Ball — WBC featherweight title
- Israil Madrimov vs. Magomed Kurbanov — vacant WBA super-welterweight title

- Ziyad Almaayouf vs. Christian Lopez Flores

The main event itself was not for a world title, although several undercard bouts carried title stakes. A full billed-card listing was published by Sporting News.

For the live event, the most common problem was confusing an account, provider, or broadcast stage with another. These checks were safer than immediately buying the fight a second time:
- Confirm the PPV order in the account history for the service used: DAZN, PPV.COM, Sky, or a cable provider.
- Make sure you are signed into the same account used for the purchase.
- Check that the purchase was made for the country where you are watching.
- Sign out and back in, refresh the event page, and update or restart the app.
- Try the service’s supported browser or another supported device.
- If you ordered through a cable or telecommunications provider, check that provider’s box or app rather than looking only in DAZN.
- Contact the relevant service’s support team before purchasing again.
In 2026, the most likely reason for not seeing a live event tile is that the event has ended, not that the original PPV order is waiting to be activated.
Replay options and result
For a replay, search DAZN in your local catalog using Joshua vs. Ngannou: Full Fight or Knockout Chaos: Prelims & Fight Night Replay. DAZN’s archive is region- and account-dependent, and a title visible on one country’s page may not appear in another. Do not rely on a stale 2024 purchase link as proof that a replay is still available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did a regular DAZN subscription include the fight?
Not in the historical U.S. arrangement. The DAZN route required the $39.99 PPV purchase in addition to a DAZN subscription. Subscription prices and plans were period-specific and have changed.
Was PPV.COM cheaper than DAZN?
The historical DAZN event fee was $39.99, while PPV.COM was $69.99 with no subscription. DAZN was the lower incremental cost for existing subscribers; PPV.COM could be simpler for viewers who did not want a DAZN subscription. The total first-time DAZN cost depended on the subscription terms.

The ring walks were generally projected for about 6 p.m. ET, with estimates ranging roughly from 5:50 to 6:30 p.m. ET. In the U.K., BBC projected approximately 11 p.m. GMT. The undercard could move either estimate.

Possibly. Search the DAZN archive for the full-fight and Knockout Chaos replay entries, but access varies by country and account. Official DAZN Boxing highlights on YouTube are a more widely available short-form alternative.
Was Joshua vs. Ngannou a title fight, and how many rounds was it?

The Bottom Line
Bottom line: There is no live Joshua–Ngannou PPV to buy now because the fight took place on March 8, 2024. Check your country’s DAZN archive for the full fight or replay, and use DAZN Boxing’s official YouTube highlights if you only need a recap. Historically, the U.S. choice was DAZN at $39.99 plus a subscription versus PPV.COM at $69.99 without one; U.K. and Irish viewers could also use Sky Sports Box Office.
