Deontay Wilder vs Gerald Washington Live now

The Deontay Wilder-Gerald Washington fight on Saturday night has received plenty of hype. It’ll be the first major network show of the year for Premier Boxing Champions, and Wilder is one of the best heavyweights in the world. He’s fun to watch and fun to listen to afterward, and if his past ratings are any indication, the Fox telecast that begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT will be watched by plenty of people. But the actual bout itself will probably be a one-sided affair that will end in Wilder (37-0, 36 KOs) , knocking out Washington (18-0-1, 12 KOs), a former NFL practice squad who has been a pro fighter for less than five years and who now finds himself competing for a portion of the heavyweight championship. One must wonder if Wilder’s recent courtroom fight vs. Alexander Povetkin, which netted Wilder the $4.5 million he would have earned if Povetkin hadn’t failed a drug test before their scheduled fight last year, has distracted him in the leadup to this fight. Tonight, PBC presents their latest card and their return to Fox. For the Fox show, PBC is turning to the Heavyweight division and the always KO ready Bronze Bomber. In the main event, WBC Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder defends his belt against the unheralded and over-matched Gerald Washington. The fight is a return for Wilder from injury - hopefully this is just a tune-up to bigger fights for the champion later this year. Washington is a fighter in over his head here, so look for this fight to be a showcase for Wilder, hopefully answering questions about where he stands in the wake of his injuries, and ideally extending his huge KO percentage in dramatic fashion along the way. The televised card also features Tony Harrison vs. Jarret Hurd in a very good Super Welterweight fight that should open up more opportunities for the winner. Deontay Wilder feels like an unstoppable force. Even though he’s coming off a significant injury, the WBC heavyweight champion hasn’t really been challenged in the boxing ring in his professional career. Wilder (37-0, 36 KOs) will take on relative unknown Gerald Washington this Saturday in Birmingham, Alabama, but the champ has his eyes on unifying the world titles. “2017 is definitely my time,” Wilder told CBS Sports. “We’re looking to unify the division and I feel very, very strongly about it. We’re looking forward to it. Whoever gets in my way will see real fast that I’m not playing and you must move once I come in with this force of what I’m trying to do.” The action all gets started at 8 p.m. ET on Fox and features three main card fights.
