When is the Amir Khan vs Vargas fight?

Amir Khan and Samuel Vargas will go head-to-head at the Birmingham Arena on Saturday, September 8. The fight is expected to begin at around 10pm BST in the UK, 5pm ET and 2pm PT.

Amir Khan is the back in the ring. The fleet-footed British boxer continues his comeback against Samuel Vargas on Saturday night, and we're here to help you stream the whole fight live no matter where you are in the world - it's even being broadcast for FREE in some regions.  

After his damaging defeat to Canelo Alvarez in 2016, Khan has been rebuilding. A two year absence was brought to an end in April when Khan emphatically saw off Phil Lo Greco in just 39 seconds. Now he faces stiffer opposition with Colombian Samuel Vargas flying in for the bout on a career record of 29 wins – 14 by knock-out - three losses and two draws.

Adding considerable spice to the occasion is the probability that the winner will get to take on Manny Pacquiao, with the fight likely to become a WBA World Title eliminator. Khan will enter as favorite but Vargas has age and potentially energy on his side, being three years younger than 31-year-old Amir Khan.

Will Samuel Vargas find the hammer blow on Khan's suspect chin or go the same way as Lo Greco? You can find out by following the instructions below and tuning into a live stream of the hotly-anticipated Amir Khan vs Vargas fight, whether you're UK, Canada or somewhere else altogether - and those lucky, lucky folk in the US can watch it for FREE on Facebook or Twitter.

How to watch Khan vs Vargas in Pakistan

We've looked and we've looked (and we've looked) and we can't find any news of a broadcaster in Pakistan showing Amir Khan in all his mean, lean glory this Saturday. Not great if you're there and were hoping to stay up until 2am local time for showtime in Birmingham. If the TV situation changes, we'll be sure to let you know.

The only alternative is to use one of our best VPN services as described above, set your location to a country on this page that is broadcasting and go from there. But do bear in mind that most paid streaming services do require a credit card based in the country the service is from.

How do I watch Khan vs Vargas in Australia?

It probably isn't that much of a surprise that there isn't a lot of hype down under about this Brit vs Colombian bout. As far as we can see, no broadcaster or streaming service has picked up the rights to air Khan against Vargas. 

So, as with Pakistan and other international destinations you could try a VPN to digitally relocate yourself to the USA and stream for free via the DAZN Facebook and Twitter pages. The fight will kick off at around 7am Sunday morning in Australia.
