Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán – better known as 'Canelo' Alvarez – will make his long-awaited return to the ring this weekend at the Alamodrome. Some 11,000 socially-distanced fans will (try) to fill the 64,000-seater arena.
The Mexican professional, who fights out of Guadalajara, was last in action in November 2019 when he saw off Sergey Kovalev to become a four-weight world champion.
Alvarez is considered by Ring Magazine to be one of the all-time greats having won 53 professional bouts. This weekend, he'll get the opportunity to prove it once and for all if he can unify the super-middleweight division.
Outboxing Callum 'Mundo' Smith won't be easy. The talented Scouser is a full six inches taller than Canelo and enjoys an eight inch reach advantage. Promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sports reckons it could be a 'history-making' fight.
Smith added: "I have wanted a big fight since becoming world champion, so I am pleased that during these challenging times we can deliver to the fans a fight between the very best in the division."
Here's how to watch a Alvarez vs Smith live stream from anywhere. The main event is set to start at 4.30am UK time on Sunday morning.

Canelo vs Smith live stream from abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant Alvarez vs Smith rights holders, you won't be able to access these streaming services when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t aware of what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such NordVPN which offers both reliability as well as a 30-day money back guarantee.
Once you’ve made your choice, all you need to do is sign in to your VPN service through whichever device you’d like to use to watch the big fight, and pick a server which is based in the country whose content you’d like to access. Then navigate to the relevant video streaming service and you’re in.
