The Showtime network will make history on January 16th by becoming the first network to stream a boxing heavyweight championship match on YouTube.
The WBC heavyweight title fight between Deontay Wilder and Artur Szpilka will stream on YouTube and will also be available as part of Showtime’s free preview weekend. The telecast will begin at 10:00 PM EST.
This announcement is a brilliant move by Showtime, as it gives the sport maximum exposure via the internet.
