The evening also featured a women’s undisputed title contest between Alycia Baumgardner and Leila Beaudoin. That championship bout averaged approximately 15 million viewers, according to the same release.
Baumgardner successfully defended her undisputed super featherweight titles, winning by unanimous decision in a match contested under three minute rounds across twelve rounds.
While the numbers were substantial, they did not exceed Netflix’s previous boxing benchmark. Jake Paul’s earlier bout against Mike Tyson reportedly reached 108 million viewers, remaining the platform’s most watched boxing presentation to date.
Another Netflix streamed event, Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford, drew an estimated 41 million viewers, placing the Paul Joshua card between those two major attractions.
