Since I pointed out yesterday that I would be doing some live coverage of the WBC heavyweight championship bout between Vitali Klitschko and Dereck Chisora I have received several inquiries on how the fight was being shown. Due to both fighters being popular Europeans without much of an American fanbase and the bout taking place in Germany (thus having a mid-afternoon start time in America) it was not picked up by HBO or Showtime.
But to the interested and curious, fear not.
Epix will be airing the fight for American fans at 4:30 p.m. ET and there's no better time to check out the online movie and sports "channel" as they are having a 14 day free trial. You can sign up for the trial by going to this link. You can watch Epix on your PC or on Android devices, iPad, iPod, XBox 360, Roku..etc. So there's no need to go hunting for some sort of second hand stream for this fight when there's a perfectly legal option available.
Fans in the U.K can watch the fight live on BoxNation. For those unfamiliar, BoxNation is available on Sky (channel 456), Virgin (channel 546) and live online (link here).
Finally, for German fans, RTL will air the fight live as well.
Make sure to check out our live coverage of the fight today and check in at Bad Left Hook for all their tremendous coverage of the event and all things boxing related.
Update: As explained in the comments, there are other ways in some other countries to catch the fight. In Sweden the fight will air on TV10. In Canada the fight will be shown on Sportsnet 1 at 9 p.m.

In before idiotic comment about the Klitschkos being boring
From someone who’s only even seen 2 boxing matches.
As a pretty huge boxing fan I’ve found many of their fights boring and some very entertaining. BUt that’s a product of them being very few who can appropriately push them to operate outside a safe, dominant state. They’re incredible talents and that’s just something heavyweight boxing right now can’t really cope with. BUt I think this fight will be pretty exciting.

Not to mention, Vitali is a mean son of a gun when he wants to be. This should be a great fight.

Yeah, he’s the one with the mean streak. Keeps talking about how much he wants to KO Haye since Wlad didn’t…etc

Thank You!
You saved me a lot of internet searches. I wouldn’t have any idea where to look for this fight.
I'm not much of a boxing fan
But I wouldn’t be surprised if Klitschko tried to kill Chisora after he slapped him. It was funny though
I make a cooking show on YouTube
I think I'll pass on the £15 / $30
It’s bound to disappoint, and I’d rather spend the money on something else.

i’m going to try and bootleg it

If you’ve never seen a Klitschko fight, I really can’t say much for the excitement of the fights. But you need to see the pageantry they bust out. Every Klitschko title fight I’ve ever seen makes the Super Bowl, Wrestlemania, Pride, whatever you want to name look like chump change in presentation and production.
it's on rtl 7 at 10pm in the netherlands

Chisora, we hardly knew ye
Thank goodness for 14 day free trials.
Thanks for this! Lots of movies to watch, too.
There’s four old westerns that start with “Wyoming” alone! Wyoming, The Wyoming Bandit, Wyoming Outlaws, and Wyoming Wildcat.
What’s so special about Wyoming? I dunno, I’ve never Wyomed.
This is an oule.

Altough I like Boxing...
…watching the Klitschkos doesn’t interest me. Unfortunately they are too closely linked to RTL so instead of going for an exciting finish they play with their opponet for at least 8 rounds before knocking them out, giving RTL the opportunity of cashing in a lot of money for advertising in between rounds. And strangely nobody here in Germany complains about this. Everybody will be like “awesome display of great strategy and technical boxing” when the fight often is boring as hell.
If only the people would give the UFC a chance and see what’s really exciting…
