There's much more on the line than the WBC belt. The 22-year-old is out to prove that he belongs at the very top of the division, while the 35-year-old is looking to restore some pride after being written off as an old man.
Haney was elevated to WBC Lightweight champion in 2019 at the age of 20, becoming the youngest world champion in boxing, and he's successfully defended his title twice - but this showdown with Linares represents a huge step up.
Haney himself has shown plenty of respect for Linares, who's held world titles across three weight classes: Featherweight, Super-Featherweight, and Lightweight. The Venezuelan has won 47 of his 52 professional fights, with 29 of those coming by knockout. But does he still have those fast hands?

Haney vs Linares live stream: how to watch the fight online with DAZN all over the world
How to watch Devin Haney vs Jorge Linares if you're away from your country
As we say, DAZN has this wrapped up pretty much everywhere. But 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.
The software is perfect for this as it allows you to change your IP address and appear to be in a completely different location - and all through a safe, encrypted connection. Here's how to get started.
Use a VPN to live stream Haney vs Linares anywhere
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.
However, those looking to subscribe to DAZN for the first time may find the service manages to effectively block certain VPNs at the point of creating an account. VPNs most notably encounter obstacles starting from scratch with DAZN Canada, though in other places like the US our general sports streaming VPN recommendation was working fine in 2021.
And if you've already got an account, a VPN should work wherever you are to help you regain access to pre-existing subscriptions.

Pronounced 'Da Zone', DAZN is a sports-centric streaming service that launched in 2016 and is now available in over 200 countries all around the world including the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand.
