Boxing's welterweight division is something of a mess right now, with four different champions currently holding titles. 

But all that's about to change with a run of unification battles, the first of which is tonight with IBF champion Errol Spence Jr and WBC belt holder Shawn Porter set to go head-to-head (Manny Pacquiao (WBA) and Terence Crawford (WBO) are strongly rumoured to be locking horns early next year).

Which fighter will take a major step to being crowned the best in what is currently one of boxing’s most intriguing divisions? With our handy guide below, we'll tell you how simple it is to get a Spence Jr vs Porter live stream no matter where you are in the world.

Errol Spence Jr vs Shawn Porter: when and where?

The venue for tonight's fight is the Staples Center in Los Angeles, meaning a red-eye session for fight fans looking to watch the action from the UK.

The undercard is set to begin on Saturday, March 28 at 9pm ET, 6pm PT - so that's a 2am BST start on Sunday morning for viewers in the UK. We're expecting the headliners to head into the ring no earlier than around 11pm ET, 8pm PT and 4am BST.

Younger and more highly regarded, with a 25-0, 21 KO record, Spence fights for the first time since March when he retained his IBF title in dominant style during a 12 round shutout of the previously unbeaten Mikey Garcia.

Porter (30-2-1, 17 KOs), is more of a brawler who is at his best when trading blows at close range. He'll be defending his prized WBC title which he won from Danny Garcia last year. While that fight rejuvenated Porter's career, he'll need to be at his absolute best to pull off a shock against his much respected Texan opponent tonight. 

To catch everything online, you've come to the right place. Read on to find out how to stream Spence Jr vs Porter live anywhere in the world.
