How to watch Angel Acosta vs Janel Rivera in UK: TV channel and live stream

Former WBO light flyweight champion Angel Acosta returns to the ring this Thursday, with fellow Puerto Rican Janel Rivera looking to stop his own personal losing streak.

Acosta has not fought since September 2021, losing against current WBO flyweight champion Junto Nakatani following a fourth round TKO stoppage after suffering a broken nose in the first round of the fight.

But his opponent will be hoping to get a much needed win under his belt, with Rivera having lost five consecutive fights, including a TKO eighth round defeat to WBC bantamweight international champion, Duke Micah.
