How to watch the Amir Khan vs Samuel Vargas fight: live stream the boxing online from anywhere
Amir Khan continues his comeback trail against Samuel Vargas in Birmingham tonight.
Khan, who will fight in the 147lb welterweight division for the first time since 2015, was the lighter of the two men, with Vargas tipping the scales an ounce heavier.
Victory at the Birmingham Arena could be a big stepping stone for Khan towards a huge stadium clash in his next fight and he is targeting a bout with Manny Pacquiao or Kell Brook.
But there remains a question mark over him because he has only fought for 39 seconds since being sparked out by Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in May 2016.
Brook will be ringside in Birmingham to watch his rival in action - and you can follow every blow with our live updates below with Khan and Vargas due in the ring around 10.30pm...
Amir Khan continues on the comeback trail against Samuel Vargas on Saturday night, live on talkSPORT.
The former world champion returned to the ring after two years out in April and took just 40 seconds to knock out Phil Lo Greco.
Now the 31-year-old aims to do the same to Vargas in their welterweight showdown in Birmingham.
Another impressive showing would set the Brit up for a return to the big time, with Kell Brook and Manny Pacquiao both potential opponents if he comes through his test against the Canadian-Colombian.

Amir Khan is the back in the ring. The fleet-footed British boxer continues his comeback against Samuel Vargas on Saturday night, and we're here to help you stream the whole fight live no matter where you are in the world - it's even being broadcast for FREE in some regions.
After his damaging defeat to Canelo Alvarez in 2016, Khan has been rebuilding. A two year absence was brought to an end in April when Khan emphatically saw off Phil Lo Greco in just 39 seconds. Now he faces stiffer opposition with Colombian Samuel Vargas flying in for the bout on a career record of 29 wins – 14 by knock-out - three losses and two draws.
Adding considerable spice to the occasion is the probability that the winner will get to take on Manny Pacquiao, with the fight likely to become a WBA World Title eliminator. Khan will enter as favorite but Vargas has age and potentially energy on his side, being three years younger than 31-year-old Amir Khan.
