How to watch Golovkin vs Szeremeta if you're away from your country
If you're abroad and discover that your usual coverage is geo-blocked, then the only alternative that we know is to use a VPN to dial in to a country that does have one.
The software is perfect for this as it allows you to change your IP address and appear to be in a completely different location - and all through a safe, encrypted connection. Here's how to get started.
Use a VPN to live stream boxing anywhere
Remember, there are loads of benefits to using a VPN beyond just helping you regain access to streaming services and content from abroad. One of the biggest is security: by using encrypted tunnels, VPNs give you a robust first-line of defense against cybercriminals and government snooping. This makes everyday tasks like online shopping and banking much safer, and many people choose to use one for that reason alone.
What is DAZN?
Pronounced 'Da Zone', DAZN is a sports-centric streaming service that launched in 2016 and is now available in over 200 countries all around the world including the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand.
Its offering varies by region, but as an idea, it owns the rights to the Premier League, Champions League, NFL, cricket, snooker, rugby union and more in Canada - one of its original and biggest markets.
It's also seeking to challenge the pay-per-view boxing hierarchy, and is scoring an increasing number of coups.
The price of DAZN also varies depending on where you are in the world but is generally competitive - in newer market like the UK, an introductory offer is still running that has it available for just £1.99 a month, while in more established markets like Canada it costs CAD$20 a month. It also offers a FREE trial in some areas and works with pretty much any modern device imaginable.
It's a great all-round offering, with the only real drawback being that it doesn't play overly nice with VPNs in all territories. You may only be able to watch it in your country of residence, even when paying for it - but that's not the universal case, as our latest testing reveals DAZN US is accessible using a VPN, for instance.

Who is Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin?
Kazakh ring king Gennady Golovkin is commonly regarded as one of the greatest middleweight boxers of this or indeed any generation.
A silver medallist in the Athens Olympic Games, during his stellar, decade-long pro career, Golovkin has picked up the welterweight championship twice. He also reigned as the unified champion of the middleweight division from 2014 to 2018.
GGG remain undefeated up until his 40th professional bout where he lost to Canelo Alvarez back in September 2018.
He currently holds the IBF and IBO middleweight champion of the world.
Out of the 392 times the 39 year old has stepped into the ring — 350 amateur fights and 42 as a professional — he has never paid a visit to the canvas once, giving credence to the claim he has the best chin ever seen in the sport.
Who is Kamil Szeremeta?
Having spent the majority of his eight-year career in his native Poland, Kamil Szeremeta came to world prominence on the undercard of GGG's last fight against Sergiy Derevyanchenko in October, last year.
Needing just 3:45 to dispatch Oscar Cortes, it was a win that earned him mandatory status, while also drawing the attention of the world boxing community.
Now ranked as the world's seventh best active middleweight by The Ring, and eighth by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, the 31-year-old former European champion boasts a 21-0, 5 KO, record.
While, undoubtedly considered an underdog for this fight, Szeremeta is an experienced fighter whose dark horse credentials could provide a shock.
