GGG vs Murata live stream: time and how to watch boxing online from anywhere today

He turned 40 on Friday, and the whole world knows what GGG (41-1-1) wants for his birthday. Victory over Ryōta Murata (16-2) should set up the blockbuster showdown the boxing world is dying to see - but WBA (Super) champ Murata is yearning for exactly the same prize. The clock's ticking on Gennady Golovkin's time at the top, so read on as we explain how to watch a GGG vs Murata live stream on DAZN all over the world.

The Kazakhstani great has unfinished business with Canelo, and for nearly four years he's bided his time, racking up victories while waiting for his third and final shot - is his patience about to pay off at last? Take Murata's belt and there's surely no way the Mexican pound-for-pound supremo avoids him any longer.

But with such an enormous prize at stake, the IBF and IBO champion can't afford to underestimate Murata. The Japanese fighter is four years Golovkin's junior, and a dangerous opponent given sufficient motivation.

He responded to defeats at the hands of Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam and Rob Brant by bludgeoning them into submission in the rematches, and Murata would love nothing more than to tear up the dream scenario and set up his own meeting with Canelo.

Brace yourself for Big Drama in Saitama, and read on to find out how to watch a GGG vs Murata live stream from anywhere today.
