Two of the most powerful punchers in the heavyweight division are squaring off this weekend. Deontay Wilder (43-3-1, 42 KOs) and Zhilei Zhang (26-2, 21 KOs) will face off in the headlining match of this weekend’s ‘5v5’ PPV on DAZN. Both fighters are coming off losses to the same opponent: Joseph Parker. It’s a crossroads fight for both them. Two losses in a row would likely keep either of them from a meaningful shot at a title anytime soon. Wilder is 38 and Zhang is 41, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the loser announced his retirement.
Wilder vs Zhang is the final match of the 5v5 PPV event, which starts today at 2:00 p.m. ET on DAZN. It’s a $70 PPV. Keep reading for everything you need to know to watch boxing online this weekend.
The 5v5 PPV headlined by Deontay Wilder vs Zhang Zhilei is a PPV event on DAZN. It costs $70 and you need a DAZN subscription, although purchasing this PPV gets you one free month of DAZN. If you end up wanting to keep your subscription active after your DAZN free trial runs out, there are a few different payment options. You can pay $30 per month, $225 per year, or commit to one year and pay in $20-per-month increments. DAZN has boxing events nearly every weekend, and most of them aren’t PPVs.
DAZN is available in virtually every country, but some places are going to miss out on the event. If you’re finding it hard to access DAZN, a VPN is the simplest solution. Just grab a subscription, connect to a server in the U.S., then stream the fight on DAZN. We recommend NordVPN as the best VPN in general, and it is currently on sale as part of VPN deals.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
