Terence Crawford vs Egidijus Kavaliauskas - when and where

What date is it? It's fight night! Crawford vs Kavaliauskas is happening today - Saturday, December 14.

What time is it? The fight is expected to start no earlier than 9pm ET, 6pm PT. So that's an early morning/late night 2am GMT in the UK.

Where is it? The boxing is taking place at New York's famous Madison Square Garden.

Crawford's next challenger comes in the form of rugged Lithuanian bruiser Egidijus Kavaliauskas who is also undefeated after 22 fights, with 17 knock-outs, meaning someone's impeccable record will have to go.

The 31-year-old challenger has also faced some demanding fights on his way to this clash, having seen off  David Avanesyan, Juan Carlos Abreu, and most recently Ray Robinson back in March.

It's all set up to be a fascinating battle and the good news is that it's being broadcast live around the world. Read on to discover how you can watch a Crawford vs Kavaliauskas live stream.

Live stream Crawford vs Kavaliauskas from outside your country

If you've been looking forward to this fight and already know where to watch, your plans may be scuppered if you're out of the country when it's on. That's because broadcasters geo-block their coverage if you try to watch from abroad.

But there's a clever workaround for this, which is perfectly legal (assuming the broadcaster's Ts&Cs allow it) and it involves using a piece of software called a VPN - better that than trying to get some dodgy stream from Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network allows you to change your IP address so you appear to be in a completely different location - in this case, back in your home country. And our best rated option ExpressVPN is ideal for this, as it's available on a whole host of Smart TVs, Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, iPhone, Android phone, iPads, tablets and more. It's fast secure and easy-to-use as well - that's why it sits at the top of our best VPN service list.

The other bonus about ExpressVPN is that it comes with a 30 day money back guarantee, so you can always quit if you don't need it any more or change your mind. Sign up to a year of ExpressVPN and get 3 months FREE on an annual plan as well as that 30-day trial.

And don't forget that a VPN isn't just for Christmas (or boxing)...there's loads you can do with them. From unblocking restricted sites and watching Netflix in other countries to adding an extra layer of security for online shopping and banking.

How watch the Crawford vs Kavaliauskas fight in the UK

We've looked and we've looked (and we've looked) and we can't find any news of a broadcaster in the UK showing the action from New York in all his mean, lean glory this weekend. If that changes, we'll be sure to let you know.

The only alternative is to use one of our best VPNs as described above, set your location to a country on this page that is broadcasting and go from there. But do bear in mind that most paid streaming services do require a credit card based in the country the service is from.

How to watch Crawford vs Kavaliauskas in Australia

As with the UK, there's no confirmed broadcaster of the main event, nor its undercard in Australia. Should the situation change, we'll be sure to update this page.

If you're Down Under and still fancy watching the fight, you do still have the option of using one of our best VPNs as described above a go.
