Australian Jeff Horn puts his WBO welterweight title on the line for the first time when he faces British fighter Gary Corcoran in Brisbane. This is The Roar‘s ultimate guide to streaming the fight online and watching it in Australia.
The bout is scheduled to commence at around 10pm (AEDT), although that will depend on the length of the undercard, which has six fights listed on it.
The pay-per-view undercard commences at 7:30pm (AEDT), with Australia’s boxing public converging on the Brisbane Convention Centre for a bout being tagged as the Battle of Brisbane 2.
There are three other fights which are on what has been called the ‘free card’, starting from 4pm (AEDT).
The fight comes after Horn defeated Manny Pacquiao in front of more than 50,000 fans at Suncorp Stadium earlier this year to take the WBO Welterweight title. It was a big upset for Horn after he was rated little to no chance of knocking over one of the greatest ever heading into the fight.
The original title fight was also Australia’s biggest ever boxing event.
