Heavyweight boxers Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury are scheduled to fight on Saturday evening at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The fireworks have started a bit early, however, as the two engaged in a lively faceoff following a pre-match press conference on Wednesday.

Wilder did much of the talking, saying at one point: "I'm gonna knock your ass out, I promise you that!" His WBC belt is on the line Saturday evening (warning: video contains profanity).
