By Scott Gilfoid: As expected, the heavyweight clash between #1 IBF Vyacheslav Glazkov (21-0-1, 13 KOs) and #4 IBF Charles Martin (22-0-1, 20 KOs) has been added to the heavyweight card featuring the talented WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (35-0, 34 KOs) vs. Artur Szpilka (20-1, 15 KOs) on Showtime Championship Boxing on January 16th next month from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
By adding a second heavyweight title fight to the existing Wilder-Szpilka card, it’s obviously going to make for a thrilling fight card to say the least. While I’m not too enamored with the Glazkov vs. Martin fight, I don’t think it taint the Wilder fight card any by the fight turning out to be a buzz-kill for the many boxing fans that will be tuning in to see the fight live on Showtime and watching it at ringside in the Barclays Center.
