Deontay Wilder and Artur Szpilka weighed in this afternoon for tomorrow night's Showtime Championship Boxing main event from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where Wilder will make the third defense of his WBC heavyweight title against the Polish underdog, headlining a bill with two world title fights in the division.
Wilder (35-0, 34 KO) weighed in at 228¾ for the fight, with the shorter Szpilka (20-1, 15 KO) at 239. This is Szpilka's heaviest weight since 2011, and it's worth noting that this is 15 pounds heavier than he was in 2014's loss to Bryant Jennings, and 16 pounds heavier than his win over Tomasz Adamek later that year. For Wilder, this is consistent with his last two outings, all three fights about 10 pounds over what he was when he fought Bermane Stiverne a year ago.
The vacant IBF heavyweight title will also be up for grabs, as Vyacheslav Glazkov (21-0-1, 13 KO) faces Charles Martin (22-0-1, 20 KO) for that belt, which was recently won by and then stripped from Tyson Fury. Glazkov came in at a lean 218 pounds, about normal for him, while Martin weighed in at a career-high 249, though it's not a career high by a whole lot, just over a pound higher than his last fight, when he was at 247¾.
BLH will have live coverage of both fights tomorrow night, as they air live on Showtime.
