Forget fight of the week, of the month or even the year – some pundits are calling today's Canelo vs GGG 2 boxing rematch the fight of the decade. And if that doesn't make you want to seek out a live stream, we're not sure what will.
So what's all the fuss about Canelo Álvarez and Gennady Golovkin? Well it's been controversy after controversy since the final bell rang to end the original bout one day shy of a year ago. First came the split decision, with the 118-110 scorecard in favour of Canelo from Judge Adalaide Byrd's the subject of great derision and suspicion.
But a draw meant good news for the fans (and promoters) as a rematch was then inevitable. And it would have happened a lot sooner, but for Álvarez failing two drug tests. But finally the fight is on. Canelo vs GGG 2 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, expected to start tonight at 8pm local time or an early morning 4am BST.
It won't surprise you that the bookies can barely separate them or that you'll have to cough up for PPV to watch it in most countries – but you may be unaware that you can watch the fight even if you're away in a country that isn't showing it thanks to a VPN. We'll tell you how.
