Katie Taylor vs Delfine Peerson LIVE stream: Fight time, latest updates, what TV channel and how to watch Joshua vs Ruiz undercard

Follow the latest updates live from New York where Katie Taylor takes on Delfine Persoon in her efforts to become the undisputed lightweight champion on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's fight with Andy Ruiz Jr.

Irishwoman Taylor already has the WBO, IBF and WBA lightweight titles, but if she can find a way past Belgian policewoman Persoon inside Madison Square Garden, she will leave New York holding all four lightweight championships.

In what is only Taylor’s 14th professional fights, the 2012 Olympic champion is helping to put women’s boxing on the map, and tonight sees her take the biggest step yet in her quest to dominate the world. Follow the live action below. Please allow a moment for the liveblog to load...

Josh Kelly vs Ray Robinson round five:
 
And he's done exactly that. He is getting involved in the exchanges with Robinson and doing so with a smile on his face.
 
Kelly's feet and movement is helping him aplenty.
 
 
Josh Kelly vs Ray Robinson round four:
 
Robinson as the far bigger man is able to land some jabs at distance but they don't land with much impact.
 
Kelly will want to get tighter to his man if he's to have any success.
 
Josh Kelly vs Ray Robinson round three:
 
Is there a more confident fighter in the world than Josh Kelly? You'd be hard pressed to find one.
 
He is so relaxed and almost allows his opponent to hit him first so he can counter. It's not the most eye-catching style for the casuals, but his movement and ability to land counters is certainly impressive.
Josh Kelly vs Ray Robinson round two:
 
Kelly's timing is the difference here, as an Adam Booth trained fighter, his head and body movement is excellent and allows him to counter with some stiff jabs.
Josh Kelly vs Ray Robinson round one:
 
Nothing really in that round, as usual Kelly waits for his opponent to step forward and throw first but Robinson's reluctance to do so means both men spent the majority of the round standing each other up.
 
 
Both men are in the ring!
 
Josh Kelly vs Austin Williams up next.

While we await Kelly's US debut, take a look at this piece of news that came in today.

Not bad.
 
Austin Williams impressed tonight.
 
 
It's Josh Kelly time.
 
He'll be looking to make a statement after a fairly disappointing performance in late April against Przemyslaw Runowski.
Austin Williams vs Quadeer Jenkins round one:
 
Fight over. Two knockdowns and Williams' punch output was simply too much for Jenkins to handle.
 
Williams will be fun to watch in the middleweight division over the years.
This bout is a four rounder. 
 
Williams with a record of one fight, one win. Jenkins one fight, one loss.
A float before Kelly's fight against Robinson.
 
Austin Williams takes on Quadeer Jenkins.
Joshua Buatsi
 
I have to thank God. I have to go home and watch it. He was slippery, it's boxing. In my humble opinion, there's only one winner there [Joshua vs Ruiz].
Up next, another US debut.
 
It's Josh Kelly vs Ray Robinson at Madison Square Garden.
 
Joshua Buatsi celebrates his first win on US soil.
 
 
Buatsi had simply too much for Periban to handle.
 
 
ALL OVER!
 
Joshua Buatsi vs Marc Antonio Periban round four:
 
Buatsi knocks his opponent down and then unloads a barrage of punches that Periban has no response to, with the referee correctly stepping in to stop the fight.
 
Now 11-0, Buatsi has made a statement in New York.
Anthony Joshua in good spirits as he takes his pre-fight stroll.
 
Joshua Buatsi vs Marc Antonio Periban round 3:
 
Periban lands a couple of efforts, throwing one to the body and following with a two to the head.
 
Maybe this won't be as easy as we all anticipated...
 
Buatsi still doing enough to win the rounds but will need to step on the gas again to get his opponent out of there.
Joshua Buatsi vs Marc Antonio Periban round 2:
 
Periban is firmly on the back foot here, with Buatsi dictating the pace and you feel as soon as he lands anything significant, it could be curtains.
 
Into the third round we go, however.
