Deontay Wilder and Artur Szpilka almost came to blows when facing off ahead of Saturday's WBC world heavyweight title bout in New York.

Live Fight Night International

Champion Wilder (35-0-KO34) makes the third defence of his crown live on Sky Sports 1 against Poland's Szpilka (20-1-KO15) and tempers ran high as the pair clashed during their first stare-down.

Szpilka launched threats as he moved his head towards the Alabamian, sparking a shoving match before their teams stepped in to separate them.
