Top Rank promotions has put together another unmissable bill of live boxing this weekend as 33-year-old Ukrainian Lomachenko looks to win back his WBA, WBO and IBF titles.
Lomachenko hasn't fought since the shocking decision loss to Lopez last year, a crushing defeat that saw him give up every belt he owned. The Ukrainian has since undergone shoulder surgery and is now ready to fight again at 135lbs.
Japanese fighter Nakatani is a rock-solid opponent, however, and Lomachenko could find it hard to cope with the two-time Olympic champion's superior speed, skills and footwork.
Tonight's sizzling showdown is on ESPN+ in the US and Sky Sports in the UK. Here's how to find a Lomachenko vs Nakatani live stream from anywhere in the world.

Watch a Lomachenko vs Nakatani live stream anywhere in the world using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant Lomachenko vs Nakatani live stream 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 as ExpressVPN.
