How to watch Haney vs Lomachenko live online

It’s a great time to be a boxing fan. On May 20, Vasiliy Lomachenko will step into the ring with Devin Haney as part of the Checkmate event in Las Vegas. Twelve rounds later, we’ll either have a new WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF, and The Ring Lightweight Champion, or Haney will have officially made it 30 fights in a row without being beaten. Interested? We’ll explain how to live stream this fight online below.

We recommend watching the Haney vs Lomachenko fight via official sources. This not only guarantees the highest-possible quality, it also means that your stream won’t be taken down part way through. Besides, with official broadcasters in multiple countries, there’s really no need to rely on shady streaming sites.

Haney vs Lomachenko will be shown on geo-blocked streaming platforms. If you’re traveling abroad and want to watch the event on your services from back home, you can just connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

How to stream Haney vs Lomachenko online from abroad

VPNs encrypt your internet traffic, shielding your activities from the prying eyes of your service provider. They’re also great for hiding your true location so that you can regain access to streaming platforms from your home country as you travel. Here’s how:

1. Start by signing up for a reputable VPN provider. We recommend NordVPN but Surfshark and ExpressVPN are two high-speed alternatives
2. Download the VPN app onto any device you use for streaming
3. Log in and select a server in your home country. This changes your IP address, making it seem like you never left
4. Now, try accessing one of your usual streaming services. You should be able to watch videos as normal, but if not, try clearing your cookies and refreshing the page – this should resolve the most common issues, leaving you free to watch the fight

Remember: this event will be broadcast live. For this reason, we strongly suggest testing your VPN ahead of time to make sure everything works as expected. All of the providers above offer free around-the-clock support over live chat, making it as easy as possible to fix problems.

Where else can I watch Haney vs Lomachenko online?

Not in the US? No problem: this bout will air in multiple countries simultaneously. Take a look below to find out how to stream Haney vs Lomachenko where you are.

Canada

Believe it or not, you can actually watch Haney vs Lomachenko for free if you’re in Canada. That’s because it’ll be shown on TSN+, which is currently offering a free preview before it starts charging for subscriptions in the near future. Just sign up and tune in at 20:00 ET to catch this event live.

TSN+ is region-locked and won’t normally work outside of Canada. International travelers can continue watching with the help of a VPN, though.

UK

If you don’t mind a late night, you can live stream this event in the UK as well. Undercard fights will begin at around 03:00 with the main event starting closer to 05:00. It’ll be broadcast exclusively on Sky Sports, but this does give us a couple of different ways to watch online.

First, if you’re a Sky TV customer who already pays for this channel, you can tune in using the Sky Go app. This doesn’t cost anything extra and only takes a couple of minutes to get set up. If you don’t have cable (or are with a different provider), you’ll need a NOW account instead. You can purchase a one-day pass for £11.98 or get a month’s subscription for £34.99.

These services are all geo-blocked, so you’ll need a VPN to access them outside of the UK.

Australia

Haney vs Lomachenko will air on Main Event in Australia but you can also stream it on Kayo if you’re not a Foxtel TV customer. This PPV costs $59.95 AUD and as you don’t need a Kayo subscription for pay-per-views, that’s all you’ll pay.

The event itself will begin at 12:00 AEST but if that doesn’t work for you, don’t panic! For the next two days, there’ll be replays every six hours. Alternatively, if you’re watching via Kayo, you can just play it on-demand whenever you’d like.

Main Event and Kayo won’t work outside of Australia due to regional restrictions. You’ll have to use a VPN to regain access while traveling abroad.

Who’s expected to win: Haney or Lomachenko?

At the time of writing, Devin Haney is the strong favorite to win, sitting at around -225 odds. There’s good reason for this: he’s the undisputed lightweight champion, has made it 29 professional fights without a single loss, and has shown time and again that he’s capable of knocking out world-class fighters.

On paper, Lomachenko’s 17–2 record doesn’t look quite so impressive. That said, this fails to take into account his nearly 400 amateur bouts, where he boasted a win rate of 99.75%. It also undersells Loma’s raw power – he’s one of the best pound-for-pound strikers in the world, an eight-time Olympic medallist, and has been beaten just once since 2014. In other words, it’s going to be a fight to remember.
