It's hard to overstate the gravity of this boxing event. Four-belt unification bouts are vanishingly rare, and these are two warriors at the very top of their game, with no obvious favorite.
28-year-old Jose "The Jaguar" Ramirez is the more experienced fighter, boasting a 26-0 record with 17 of those wins delivered by way of knockout. But Josh "The Tartan Tornado" Taylor, two years his opponent's senior, has a 17-0 record, with 13 knockouts.
Devastating left hooks to the head and body are the weapons of choice for both men, who fight on the front foot, though Ramirez has the reach advantage. However, the Scottish southpaw will take heart from the way Ramirez toiled against the last leftie he fought, Jose Zepeda, who dominated the early stages of their fight two years ago.
It's an enormous, life-changing occasion, and tonight's winner will go down in boxing history. Follow our guide below to watch a Josh Taylor vs Jose Ramirez live stream online from anywhere.
