Few recent bouts have pitted two fighters with such a wealth of experience against each other - don't miss a moment of the action with our Mikey Garcia vs Jessie Vargas live stream guide. Watch all the boxing action from this weekend's big fight online the easy way.

Saturday's showdown in Texas marks the return to the ring of four-division world champion Garcia, who fights for the first time since his points defeat to Errol Spence Jr - which ended an impressive 39-fight winning streak.

Meanwhile, former WBA and IBO super lightweight champion Vargas comes into the fight off the back of a TKO win over Humberto Soto - a victory which ended a frustrating run of two draws in his previous fights.

Mikey Garcia vs Jessie Vargas - where and when

The showdown between Mikey Garcia vs Jessie Vargas takes place on Saturday, March 1 at the Ford Center at The Star, in Frisco, Texas. The duo are expected to enter start their ring walk at around 10pm CST local time - or 11pm ET and 8pm PT.  For fight fans looking to tune from, the Garcia vs Jessie UK time is an early morning 4am GMT start on Sunday.

The fight sees Vargas dropping down in weight. That could play into Garcia's hands, as Vargas boasts a considerable three-inch reach advantage over his opponent and, perhaps more significantly, is also a massive five-inches taller.

The big question remains how will Garcia respond to stinging defeat to Spence Jr which ended one of boxing's greatest ever winning streaks. There's loads at stake, too, with tonight's victor being tipped to a big-money showdown with Manny Pacquiao, one of the sport's all-time legends.
