The fight was on, and then off, and now it's on again.
Rigondeaux stepped aside so that three-weight world champion Casimero could take on Nonito Donaire in an all-Filipino affair. But the Cuban had to be parachuted back in after Casimero ruined those plans by directing a series of derogatory comments at his compatriot's wife.
Never one to hold his tongue, Casimero has spoken of ending Rigondeaux's career in the lead-up to this one, and he has plenty of reason to feel confident. He's won his last six fights, and also has a superior knockout record to his opponent.
The Cuban may be much older, but he's got the height advantage and the reach advantage, and it's worth remembering that only the great Vasily Lomachenko has ever got the better of Rigondeaux in the ring.
With two belts on the line, this is huge, so read on as we explain how to watch a Casimero vs Rigondeaux live stream from anywhere.

How to watch Casimero vs Rigondeaux if you're away from your country
If you're abroad and discover that your coverage is geo-blocked, then the only alternative that we know is to use a VPN to dial in to a country that is showing the fight.

Remember, there are loads of benefits to using a VPN beyond just helping you regain access to streaming services and content from abroad.
