Both fighters are 26 years old, but Navarrete - who's known as "El Vaquero" (The Cowboy) - is the more experienced of the two. He boasts a 32-1 record, with 27 of his victories coming by way of knockout, whereas Diaz's record reads 26-2, with 16 knockouts.

Diaz has a tough task on his hands trying to prise it off him, but anything can happen inside the ring. Follow our guide below to watch an Emanuel Navarrete vs Christopher Diaz live stream online from anywhere.
