Grudge fights don’t get much bigger than this, as rivals Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr. return to Manchester’s AO Arena in a high-stakes rematch on Saturday. 

The two British fighters have had a continual war of words since Smith delivered a stunning fourth-round knockout when the two last went head-to-head back in January.

A hand injury for Liverpool-born Smith prevented the two fighters meeting again earlier in the summer, but the wait is finally over, with a win for either fighter likely to earn them a middleweight title shot as well as bragging rights.

Here are all the details of tonight’s big fight, including start time, how to watch it and more.

Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Liam Smith date and start times

How to watch Eubank Jr. vs. Smith from anywhere

If you find yourself unable to view Eubank Jr. vs. Smith locally, you may need a different way to watch the fight — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on the day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
