Anthony Joshua fights are always massive events, and it is likely that this fight will be too. Tickets usually sell out fast, so fans will need to be quick to snap up tickets.
The demand may however not be as great as previous Joshua fights due to the difficulty of entering Saudi Arabia. The fight is only a month away leaving fans little time to secure flight tickets and accommodation in the country.
The undercard for Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksander Usyk II is incomplete
Whilst ticket details have now finally been confirmed, there are still some uncertainties for the show. The undercard at the moment features only one confirmed fight, Badou Jack against Richard Rivera. Tyrone Sprong has also been added to the undercard without any confirmed fight.
Being on the undercard of a bout of this magnitude would be beneficial for a fighter due to the eyes that will be on the event. Nevertheless. it is apparent that an undercard is not needed to sell the event due to the fanfare Anthony Joshua brings.
