Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez returns to the ring this Saturday night to defend his WBC and WBA super middleweight titles against Avni Yildirim in Miami. The big fight costs up to $50 in the US, but savvy sports streaming service DAZN has the rights to show the clash in 200 countries – and from only £1.99 in the UK! Read on as we preview the action from the Hard Rock Stadium and explain how to get a good price Canelo vs Yildirim live stream wherever you are in the world.

Canelo has only ever been defeated as a professional by the legendary Floyd Mayweather, a result that took place way back in 2013. No surprise, then, that the WBA (Super), WBC and The Ring super-middleweight champion is a huge favourite for this blockbuster fight.

The Mexican star out-punched Callum Smith in a stunning display last December to enter the champions’ enclosure at 168lbs. If he can defeat Turkey’s Avni Yildirim on Saturday, he could unify the division just two months after picking up his belts, and tee up a massive fight against against Billy Joe Saunders this summer.

Yildirim is a good fighter but he got knocked out by Chris Eubank Jr in three rounds. He’s a low level threat to a fighter of the calibre of Canelo and will do well to last all 12 rounds of this super-middleweight clash.

Here’s how to get a Canelo vs Yildirim live stream, one of the most anticipated fights of the year, from anywhere in the world.

Watch a Canelo vs Yildirim live stream from abroad using a VPN

Even if you have subscribed to the relevant Canelo vs Yildirim rights holders, you won’t be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are a doddle to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.

There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you’re not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
