By Larry Fine NEW YORK, Jan 14 (Reuters) - A wide-open scramble among heavyweights is underway, illustrated by a pair of world title fights in boxing's glamor division in an historic night for the sport in Brooklyn on Saturday. American Deontay Wilder puts his WBC title on the line against Artur Szpilka of Poland, and Ukrainian Vyacheslav Glazkov takes on American Charles Martin for the vacant IBF crown in a glittering Barclays Center fight card. The fight card marks the first heavyweight championship bouts staged in Brooklyn since 1900 when James Jeffries knocked out James Corbett in the 23rd round.
