Klitschko vs Pianeta: Live stream, fight time, TV schedule, how to watch

Wladimir Klitschko returns today in Mannheim, Germany, facing Italy's Francesco Pianeta, with the WBA, WBO, and IBF world heavyweight titles on the line. As ever, Wladimir (59-3, 50 KO) is the big favorite to win, with Pianeta considered a fringe contender at best, and simply the most desirable available opponent.
