Get a preview here of Deontay Wilder vs Artur Szpilka, live on Showtime boxing this Saturday night.
Since 2013, Deontay Wilder has steadily picked up steam as "the next great American Heavyweight boxer". And why not? Wilder has all the attributes you look for in a big Heavyweight star. He has the pedigree (Bronze medal at the 2008 Olympics), the flashy record (35 fights, 35 wins), the big KO power (all but one fight ending before the final bell, many by highlight reel KO), and the outsized, dynamic personality. But standing in his way has always been a roadblock.
