Both fighters are 26 years old, but Navarrete – who’s known as “El Vaquero” (The Cowboy) – is the more experienced of the two. He boasts a 32-1 record, with 27 of his victories coming by way of knockout, whereas Diaz’s record reads 26-2, with 16 knockouts.

Diaz has a tough task on his hands trying to prise it off him, but anything can happen inside the ring. Follow our guide below to watch an Emanuel Navarrete vs Christopher Diaz live stream online from anywhere.

Use a VPN to live stream Navarrete vs Diaz anywhere
ExpressVPN is the world’s top VPN
We’ve tested all of the major VPN services and we rate ExpressVPN as the absolute best. It’s compatible with loads of devices including iOS, Android, Amazon Fire Stick, PlayStation, Apple TV and such, and we found it secure, speedy and simple-to-use.
Another great perk is the fact that it comes with a 30-day money back guarantee and 3-months FREE, so you can see if it’s right for you with no strings attached.
Once you’ve downloaded the software, just follow the prompts to install it then select the location you want to relocate your IP address to – it really is that easy.
Remember, there are loads of benefits to using a VPN beyond just helping you regain access to streaming services and content from abroad. One of the biggest is security: by using encrypted tunnels, VPNs give you a robust first-line of defense against cybercriminals and government snooping. This makes everyday tasks like online shopping and banking much safer, and many people choose to use one for that reason alone.
