Reigning unified heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua is back on home turf for what could be one of the toughest match ups of his career as he faces Ukrainian challenger Oleksandr Usyk in London. Read our guide to getting a Joshua vs Usyk live stream, and watch all the boxing action online from anywhere in the world. 

Joshua vs Usyk at a glance

The fight takes place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on Saturday, September 25.

The undercard begins at 7pm BST local time - 2pm ET / 11am PT. That's 4am AEST / 6am NZST on Sunday.

Ring walks for Joshua vs Usyk are roughly scheduled for 10pm BST, which is 5pm ET / 2pm PT / 7am AEST / 9am NZST.

Both fighters will likely have crossed paths at the London Olympics back in 2012, which saw Joshua win gold in the super-heavyweight division, while Usyk triumphed in the heavyweight category.

Having been imperious at cruiserweight, Usyk is now looking to dominate at heavyweight and establish himself as one of the top fighters at 265 lbs with an unbeaten professional career of 18 fights.

Joshua's IBF, WBA (Super), WBO and IBO titles are all up for grabs tonight but the Watford-born boxer holds the advantage in terms of height and reach, as well as experience at this level.

The stakes are high, with the spoils for tonight's winner almost certain to be an undisputed title fight against the victor of the upcoming Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder clash.

We've got all the info on how to live stream Joshua vs Usyk, no matter where you are in the world with our guide below.
