How to watch Taylor vs Ramirez, TV channel and live stream
Josh Taylor has the chance to make history in his massive title fight with Jose Ramirez on Saturday night.
The undefeated Scottish star can become the first fighter in the light welterweight division to unify all four of the belts should he beat Ramirez.
The fight is taking place in front of a crowd in Las Vegas, although Taylor's legion of British fans won't be in the building due to travel restrictions stopping them from making the trip Stateside.
The Scot is a slight favourite in this one against American Ramirez, but this is seen as one of the most exciting fights of 2021 so far.
In the four-belt era, no British fighter has ever been able to unify a division, and with Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury's bout seemingly dead in the water for now, it looks like this is the best chance fans will have to see it happen.
Here is everything you need to know about Saturday night's fight…
