Benavidez vs Davis live stream: how to watch boxing online from anywhere

Undefeated two-time world champion David "El Bandera Roja" Benavidez has made no secret of his appetite for a title showdown with king of the ring Canelo Alvarez. But he first needs to prove his worth against Kyrone "Shut It Down" Davis, a late substitute who's making a name for himself. Read on as we explain how to watch a David Benavidez vs Kyrone Davis live stream today and catch all the boxing action online from anywhere in the world.

Davis (16-2-1) has stepped in for Jose Uzcategui, who was withdrawn after failing a drugs test. The 27-year-old caught the eye by holding two-time super-middleweight champ Anthony Dirrell to a split decision draw in his first ever fight at 168 pounds in February, before a slightly hairy unanimous decision victory over Martez McGregor in September.

He's certainly not afraid to come out swinging, but Benavidez (24-0) represents a major step in quality. The 24-year-old is The Ring magazine's top-ranked boxer at 168 pounds, and he'll want to put on a show in front of his home crowd, and with his brother Jose on the undercard. There's also the small matter of a potential shot at Canelo.

There's plenty at stake, so follow our guide below to watch a Benavidez vs Davis live stream online from anywhere.
