Chris, a UK-born media connoisseur, is an expert in watching international TV. Known as "The Global Screen Wanderer", he has travelled extensively across the globe with long stints away from home. With over 10 years of experience he has become the go-to guru for streaming content from home and abroad.
It’s the biggest fight to end the year. Carl Frampton faces Josh Warrington in an IBF World Featherweight showdown.
Warrington will be defending his title and although he’s the firm favourite to retain it, it won’t be unexpected if Frampton manages to turn up the heat and take the title.
This brings me to where you’re going to watch the fight? It’s taking place in Manchester, United Kingdom which means depending on where you are in the world depends on what kind of coverage you’ll get.
In some countries the fight is restricted to pay-per-view networks and in others it won’t be shown at all.
Below I’m going to show you how you can watch the entire fight basically for free on an official stream. So you don’t need to resort to any of those naughty and dangerous illegal streams that have become so popular.
What you need to watch the fight
The fight is officially being broadcast for free in Russia and they’re also streaming it on their online service, MatchTV.
It’s worth remembering that this is the official network showing the fight, it’s not one of those sketchy websites that will be showing a low quality, buffering stream.
The site is however restricted to Russian viewers but by using a VPN app you can bypass this restriction and watch anywhere in the world. VPN apps are completely legal too.
There are hundreds of VPN apps out there but not all are suitable, they need to have a Russia connection point. For this I recommend ExpressVPN but there are a couple of other good choices too.
