It’s fight night! Ever since winning a silver medal at the Olympics in 2004, Amir Khan has been a popular fighter in the UK, Pakistan and around the world. However, after being soundly defeated by Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez in Las Vegas back in 2016, boxing fans have wondered if he still has what it takes.

Khan will have a chance to prove that he does tonight when he goes up against Canadian Phil Lo Greco in the welterweight “Back To Business” fight. This will be his first fight since being knocked out by Álvarez and the excitement grew to fever pitch when Khan lost his temper with Lo Greco at a press conference back in January.

If you’re wondering how you’re going to tune in to the fight, we’ll tell you which broadcasters will be showing it and walk you through the best options for streaming it online. Whether you’re in the UK, Canada, US, or anywhere else we’ll point you towards the relevant stations around the world. And even if your corner of the Earth isn’t showing it, we’ll tell you how to tune into an international broadcast instead.

The Khan vs Lo Greco fight is scheduled to begin around 10pm BST in the UK. Keep reading and we’ll show you all of the live streaming options available.

We’ve looked and we’ve looked (and we’ve looked) and we can’t find any news of a broadcaster in Pakistan showing Amir Khan in all his mean, lean glory this Saturday. Not great if you’re there and were hoping to stay up until 2am local time to see if he can get back to winning ways. If that changes, we’ll be sure to let you know.

The only alternative is to use one of our best VPNs as described above, set your location to a country on this page that is broadcasting and go from there. But do bear in mind that most paid streaming services do require a credit card based in the country the service is from.

It probably shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that there isn’t a lot of hype down under about this Brit vs Canadian bout. As far as we can see, no broadcaster or streaming service has picked up the rights to air Khan against Lo Greco. So, as with Pakistan and other international destinations you could try a VPN to digitally relocate yourself to another area of the world that is showing it – just be prepared to fall foul when needing a localised credit card to sign up…

Led by the Moto G6, Lenovo-owned Motorola has had a lot of phones to show off this week, and more details are starting to emerge about what we can expect from these handsets further down the line – specifically, the software updates that Motorola is planning.

As Ars Technica spotted, the higher-end Moto G6 phones – the Moto G6, Moto G6 Play and Moto G6 Plus – are in line for an update to Android P, whenever the new mobile OS makes an appearance. The Moto E5 and Moto E5 Plus, however, are seemingly going to have to make to with Android 8.0 Oreo.

To be more specific, Motorola is promising security and software updates for the phones every 60-90 days, so adjust your expectations accordingly. Of course, Motorola’s plans could change along the way, but that seems to be the strategy at the moment.

Can I have a P please?

We already know the Moto G6 handsets marry some respectable performance specs with very attractive prices, but knowing that software updates might not be all that timely is another factor to bear in mind before you part with your cash.

Google has spun all its key apps out of Android in recent years, so they’re updated separately, but we do know that Android P is going to feature some modern-looking visual tweaks, the all-important support for notched display designs, and better dual-lens camera integrations. Oh, and it’ll remember your Bluetooth volumes too.

Android P should roll out to Google’s Pixel phones at some point this summer, but it’s not clear just how long Moto G6 owners will have to wait until it lands on their devices. If Motorola clarifies the situation, we’ll let you know.

This is the third time I’ve tried to write this piece – I’m desperate to say something after the wonderful effect of my article on mental health and running last year, but every time I try, it feels forced and artificial.

I feel like something of a fraud even writing this – I feel so much better this year that part of me worries that I’m just putting this up because I want the world to hear my story. Last year’s piece about the pain of running with anxiety scratching away poured out of me, a journey desperate to be recounted, but it also changed things for me massively.

The worst part was putting it out into the world last year – the flash of panic that coursed through me when I hit publish, realising that I’d ‘outed’ myself as weak and unstable, someone who could no longer relied upon because I let the mask finally slip away.

But what happened – and I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised – is that the messages of support and recognition poured in. I posted the link on Twitter, Facebook and runners’ forums I frequent, and everyone was kind, humbling and wonderful with what they said. I realised that I wasn’t weak, or unstable, in any way.

It led me to running some mindfulness running groups, to have the confidence to open conversations with people about anxiety when I used to worry about whether it was appropriate… and the sheer volume of people that are fellow warriors is incredible.

I hadn’t done anything special. I’d not opened the world’s eyes to something that they didn’t know. I just happened to write down the thoughts that were rolling around the raw minds of so many around me – and it engaged people in a way I couldn’t have expected.

Not because I’m brilliant with words, but because so many people thought they were alone in this. People that didn’t consider themselves to have ‘traditional’ mental health issues, but just struggling through life and not knowing why.

(One of the most beautiful moments happened at a pub a week or so later – a chap I was friends with asked me to come into the corner for a chat. We got there and he locked me in a big hug for a few seconds, and told me that he felt so relieved someone else felt the same. I didn’t really know what to do – I’d just told the world how I was feeling, not expecting anyone to really listen – but just talking to him afterwards was a truly wonderful experience.)

A familiar enemy

I won’t pretend that the marathon was easy last year – in fact, since I’d been ‘exposed’ as an anxiety sufferer, I felt the pressure of not letting my mind clamp down even more acutely, and that certainly didn’t help.

I didn’t walk though, even when the panic began flashing at mile 22. I forced myself to promise to be proud of every 100 metres I conquered, not to care about the pace, not to worry about what was coming next. 

I shouldered the demon and ran as it scratched me up and down with its serrated judgement.

I did it. My time was far too slow in my mind, the training ‘all wasted’, but I didn’t crack once. I forced my ailing body onwards, and while I still don’t really feel content with that or proud, I know that I should and I hold onto that.

But then things changed. For reasons I won’t go into here, my situation in life changed dramatically, and I was suddenly faced with a number of new challenges I never wanted to face.

The thing was… these challenges were real – real things happening to me that weren’t locked away in my mind. I was forced to experience, feel and decide about things and watch as they possibly fell apart.

But while every day should have been a struggle, I was thriving. I continued seeing my therapist (and continue to do so – it’s without doubt the greatest investment I’ve ever made) and just made a conscious effort to tell the truth.

When I struggled to grasp the nettle of any situation that fell in front of me, I forced it in the open, rather than locking it away into the corner of my mind and hoping it was something I never had to deal with.

In many ways my life was falling apart, but I was feeling more mentally free than I ever had before. Where before I used to see anxiety as something to try and wrestle with (but finding that it was the same as trying to grab steam out of the air) I became passive, forcing myself to be more of a shadow than it could ever be.

To paraphrase Taylor Swift: if it was a ghost, then I was going to be a phantom.

And it took an awfully long time for it to have any change. We’re talking a single percentage point every so often – but the direction was going the right way.

Here’s the thing that I found the most strange – and bringing it back to the point of this piece: I got faster. My 5K time tumbled to below 18 minutes on a day I was a bit hungover. My 10K race pace smashed past 38 minutes. I battered my five mile, 10 mile best times. 

Even my half marathon PB nearly fell, but the thing was I wasn’t training any harder. In fact, I wasn’t training hard at all. I was feeling a little guilty that I was slacking off, and scientifically I should have got worse.

But I didn’t – and the only reason can be that I was finally resting and healing both my body and mind. No longer slogging through runs out of duty… I was running when I felt like it, curtailing sessions and trying to do things socially rather than specifically for power.

This continued throughout the year, the run of great results making 2017 one of my worst years emotionally but one of the best in terms of race results. It made no sense.

A race with no finish

I’ll admit, I’m still struggling with what I’m writing. I’m panicking slightly that I’m coming across like some sort of guru who’s ‘got all the answers’, or ‘knows the secrets of overcoming anxiety’.

I am definitely neither of those things. I’m someone who’s lucky enough to not only have a forum to put my words out into the world, but an incredible team of people to support me in writing about something so non-techy on a website called TechRadar.

Taking over the editorship this year has been one of my proudest moments. This site is a passion as much as it is a job, and having been there from the start and watching it grow has been wonderful.

So taking over stewardship (along with the the inimitable Marc Chacksfield) is a position I’ve dreamed of – and it’s not something I could have done, mentally, a year ago. 

There are still days where I struggle to get out of bed in the morning. But I do. There are days when my appetite drops and I get a burning panic that I’m going to ‘fall’ back into anxiety again.

But I’m slowly starting to gain confidence that I won’t… because I’m living with it every day. I’ve stopped seeing it as a shrieking demon, just a well-meaning but overly-oppressive parent, and trusting that I know how to deal with it, that this episode won’t be the one that ‘sends me back’.

With running, I know that I’m not going to to keep getting faster forever – and actually I’ve already started to slow down. It was going to happen at some point.

Going into the marathon, the combination of an injury-disrupted training plan and the excessive London heat predicted mean that I’ve got no hope of emulating last year. There’s no point even trying – this may sound negative but it’s perhaps the most positive thing I can do in the situation.

I’m going to go out slow. Frustratingly slow, watching the time (and chance for glory) slip away step by step, until I get to the point where I began to crumble last year. 

I’m going to crack out the most energetic tunes, get my adrenaline flowing and slowly begin to pick up the pace to prove to myself that I don’t need to run as hard as I can, all the time, to feel happiness. That I waited until it was right for me.

I want goosebumps to start flowing as I begin to sprint towards the end, riding on a wave of positivity that I created, not because it accidentally happened. I want it to represent that this year I’ve fought without fighting, become the best warrior I can be without landing one blow.

I know that I’ll never reach the finish line in this race against anxiety because… that’s my life, and anxiety will always have its own race number and be running somewhere in the field.

But if you’re struggling with the same thing, know this: there are more people out there than you can possibly imagine feeling exactly the same way, and if you can take any step at all – any – to own a little bit of what stops you sleeping, able to see friends, to do the things you think ‘normal’ people should be able to do, you’ll start pulling ahead.

If you recognise any of the feelings listed above, please take the step to talk to someone about it – whether that’s a friend, family member or one of the numbers listed here. You don’t need to suffer alone. Honestly.
