By Jake Donovan - The perception in America is that the heavyweight division is dead.
Fortunately for the Klitschko brothers, boxing remains a global sport.
While HBO and Showtime have all but given up on what was for more than a century hailed as boxing’s glamour division, premium network EPIX has thrown its support behind the heavyweights and the Klitschko brothers in particular.
Tonight’s broadcast marks the fourth time a Klitschko has headlined a card on the network. For the second time in four months, it’s Wladimir Klitschko who takes center stage as he defends his lineal heavyweight crown against Tony Thompson in a rematch to their July ’08 bout.
The bout airs live on EPIX’ flagship network, streaming online at EpixHD.com and also on the Jumbotron at Times Square in New York City (Saturday 4:30PM ET/1:30PM PT). The benefit that EPIX viewers enjoy when tuning in to any given broadcast is the backdrop of an actual fight card, as boxing is very much alive and well in Europe. [Click Here To Read More]
