The massive heavyweight world title rematch bout between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua will happen on Saturday, Aug 20. The good news is that DAZN has acquired the right to broadcast the fight in 190 territories around the world. This makes it extremely well covered globally. However,  if you happen to be outside of those countries, or are a UK resident who is away on vacation – you will need a VPN to watch the fight.

In this guide, we will explain how to stream Oleksandr Usyk VS Anthony Joshua online from anywhere with a VPN. We will only recommend official sources for the fight. You may be able to find unofficial sources but these will almost certainly be poor quality and could be taken down during the fight leaving you high and dry.

For this reason, we recommend using an official stream in combination with a VPN, even if you are away from home.

How to watch Oleksander Usyk and Anthony Joshua with a VPN

If you have never used a VPN before, you may be under the impression that using one is tricky. This couldn’t be further from the truth. With a VPN, you can quickly and easily make it appear as if you are back home to watch Joshua VS Usyk 2 on vacation from anywhere in the world.

The only real caveat is that some VPNs do not work to unblock streaming platforms like DAZN and Sky Sports. As long as you stick to one of our recommended VPNs for Usyk VS Joshua, you will be fine.

Here’s how to live stream Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua 2 online from anywhere:

  • Choose a VPN for boxing. We recommend NordVPN because it is lightning fast and works with the largest number of DAZN regions as well as Sky Sports. Alternatively, Surfshark is cheap and works with DAZN (Canada, Germany, Japan, Spain) and Sky. And ExpressVPN is a pricier alternative that works with most DAZN regions and Sky.
  • Subscribe and download the VPN app. Our recommendations have apps for all platforms to let you stream the Heavyweight World Title rematch on a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
  • Choose one of the official boxing streams we have listed below.
  • Connect to a VPN server in the appropriate country. For example, you should use a UK server to access Sky Sports or Now TV.
  • Log in to your chosen stream and watch Spence vs Ugas. The fight should load without problems, but if you have any issues, clear your browser’s cache and cookies and then reload the page.

Oleksandr Usyk VS Anthony Joshua 2 is a live event so we recommend setting up your VPN ahead of time. This will allow you to check that the VPN is working with your particular streaming provider.

If you have any issues, you can use the live chat support to get help with setting it up. This will ensure that everything is working properly before Saturday night so you don’t miss any of the fight card.
