Cuba's Robeisy Ramirez will bring the curtain down on a stellar 2023 with a second defense of his WBO world featherweight title this Saturday.

Southpaw Robeisy Ramirez won gold in 2012 and 2016 at flyweight and bantamweight respectively before turning pro in 2019 with promoters Top Rank. The Cuban lost his first pro bout, knocked down in the opening round of a four-rounder against unheralded Adan Gonzales, but he has won every fight since and took the vacant WBO world featherweight title by beating Isaac Dogboe in April. Can the 29-year-old fighter end 2023 with a bang?
Opponent Rafael Espinoza has been waiting a long time for this world title shot. His third fight outside native Mexico in his 11th year as a professional, the unbeaten 33-year-old has significant height and reach advantages and 18 stoppages from his 21 victories are proof that he hits hard, too. He stopped Ally Mwerangi in July and will fancy his one-punch power can cause what would be a massive upset.
Ramirez's amateur grade and slick skills on the outside make him a heavy favorite, but Espinoza's physical advantages could come into play. Here's where to watch the Ramirez vs Espinoza live stream from anywhere around the world, including for free.

How to watch Ramirez vs Espinoza live streams from anywhere
A VPN, or virtual private network, makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.
For instance, a Mexican who's currently in the U.S. could watch Ramirez vs Espinoza on Azteca 7, even though they're not in Mexico right now.
They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices, and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
