After nearly coming to blows during a photo op on Wednesday at the World Trade Center in advance of the fight, it's clear that Deontay Wilder and Artur Szpilka are more than ready to brawl at the Barclays Center on Saturday at 10 p.m. ET.
And thanks to Showtime's Free Preview Week, you can watch the entire fight live and for free right here.
Wilder, who has become one of the premier heavyweight fighters in the sport over the last few years, won the title belt by defeating Bermane Stiverne by unanimous decision at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas back in January of last year. Since then, he's dispatched Eric Molina and Johann Duhaupas, by KO and TKO, respectively, to hold on to his belt.

Wilder sports a 34-0 record and many have him lined up to fight Tyson Fury, who just claimed the World Heavyweight title from Wladimir Klitschko by unanimous decision in November of last year.
