The biggest win of Ellis Zorro's career came last time out in May's ruthless stoppage of Hosea Burton, whose cousin is WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. The 31-year-old carries serious power and, as he showed in a barnstorming points win over Dec Spellman two fights ago, absolutely loves an old-fashioned tear-up in the ring. The first defence of his WBO European strap, Zorro will want a stoppage to prove he warrants a big name next.
Luca D'Ortenzi may have lost his IBF international cruiserweight title to Leon Harth in April, but the Italian has real grade just below world level and represents a good test for Zorro's power and movement. The Gentleman has a solid jab and, having worked with the same trainer for the past decade, knows what his strength and will come with a plan to upset favorite Zorro.
With Willy Hutchinson also on the undercard and an all-British featherweight scrap between Masood Abdulah and Marc Leach, here's everything you need to know to watch the Zorro vs D'Ortenzi live stream, no matter where you are.
How to watch Zorro vs D'Ortenzi 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, someone from the U.K. who's currently in the U.S. could watch Zorro vs D'Ortenzi on Mola TV or TNT Sports even though they're not in Italy or the U.K..
VPNs are totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and PureVPN does the trick. It offers decent speeds with a large network and plenty of locations, plus it's great value for money.

Preferred partner (What does this mean?)
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, PureVPN is a favorite of ours.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.K. service, such as TNT Sports, you'd select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Mola TV, as you usually would back in Italy, and watch the live stream.
