Emanuel "El Vaquero" Navarrete (El Vaquero means 'the cowboy' in English) is one of boxing's busiest world champions. The in-demand Mexican warrior picked up the WBO featherweight belt back in October after beating the previously undefeated Ruben Villa.
Most fans believe Navarrete was a more impressive fighter at super bantamweight than he is at featherweight but with an 8-inch reach advantage over his opponent this weekend, Navarrete is clear favourite to see off the challenge for his 126lbs strap.
Not that Christopher Diaz will want to take a dive. With Puerto Rican pride at stake, 'Pitufo' (that's 'Smurf' in English) will pour everything he has into shocking the Mexican cowboy. Still, you can't get away from the fact that Diaz comes into this fight with a patchy 3-2 record in his last five fights. He's got it all to do.
Emanuel Navarrete vs Christopher Diaz will be proceeded by a corking undercard featuring Brooklyn-based phenomenon Edgar Berlanga, who has KO'd all 16 of his opponents in the first round. Wow. The man they're calling the next Tyson will be walked into the ring by rapper Lil Wayne.

How to watch Emanuel Navarrete vs Christopher Diaz abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant Emanuel Navarrete vs Christopher Diaz rights holders, you won't be able to use them 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 as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee.
