The stars are expected to be out in Miami, Florida on Friday night. While the College Football Playoff is kicking off, the sporting world will likely have its eyes on a marquee boxing fight.

Jake Paul is set to throw hands with Anthony Joshua in a professional boxing match that will air on Netflix. The card is set to begin at 8 p.m. ET, with the main event expected to start around 11:15 p.m. ET. 

The entire event will be held at the Kaseya Center in Miami, with several high-profile celebrities expected to attend. While the fight has been marketed for months, Paul as the headliner makes it feel like the event will be even more over-the-top than a typical boxing event.

Paul was initially supposed to fight Gervonta Davis, but the fight was cancelled because of Davis' serious domestic violence allegations. Paul was left without an opponent until Joshua's camp stepped in. Paul enters the fight with a 12-1-0 record, while Joshua is 28-4 in his professional boxing career. 

This will undoubtedly be the biggest test of Paul's boxing career, with many believing that he won't make it past the third round without getting knocked out by the larger Joshua. 

Here is more on which celebrities are watching the Paul vs. Joshua fight on Friday night.
