How to watch Martinez v Santiago: Live stream the fight online from anywhere

It's a battle of the super flyweights tonight as Jose Martinez takes on Alejandro Santiago in Ponce, Puerto Rico.

The two fighters will be looking for a strong performance tonight following a draw in their last bout, which took place back in November 2016.

In fact, that draw is the only blemish of Martinez's career record of 20-0-1, with 13 of those victories coming by knockout. The fight sees Martinez make the first defence of his NABO Super Flyweight title since winning it from Jesus Martinez back in November.

However Santiago, who has 15 career victories, will be no pushover, and the 21-year-old Mexican will be looking to take the belt as he looks to establish himself as a fighter for the future.

If you're looking to watch tonight's fight, don’t worry - there is still a way to keep up with the action online.
