Frank Warren is confident Joe Calzaghe's unification superfight against Mikkel Kessler will set a new world attendance record for an indoor boxing event.

The Millennium Stadium will host the showdown on November 3 with 70,000 tickets available, of which 17,500 have already been sold even though the fight was only confirmed last Wednesday.

Muhammad Ali's rematch against Leon Spinks holds the record with 63,500 descending on the Louisiana Superdome in 1978 to watch 'The Greatest' win the world heavyweight title for a third time.

Promoter Warren said: "Getting Joe and Mikkel together is very expensive.

"Kessler's people wanted the fight in Copenhagen but ultimately money swung it to be held over here. It's always about the money!

"The fact it's happening in Cardiff is a great bonus and we have a major record to break.

"The record for an indoor gate in the sport is 63,500 and I think we'll have more than that at the Millennium Stadium on November 3.

"If that happens it will be the world's biggest indoor boxing event.

"That's what we're aiming for. We've already sold 17,500 tickets which is a tremendous response. Only the Mike Tyson fight sold tickets quicker.

"There should be around 5,000 of Kessler's fans coming over from Denmark. They'll be arriving in their long boats and hopefully they'll be returning with long boats!"

Kessler is arguably Calzaghe's greatest challenge to date with the 28-year-old WBC and WBA super-middleweight champion unbeaten in 39 fights.

But Warren believes the Dane will bring the best out of Calzaghe, whose WBO belt and unblemished record will also be on the line in Cardiff.

"When Joe really wants a fight, it has brought the best out of him," he said.

"There have been a few fights like Chris Eubank, Jeff Lacy, Charles Brewer and Byron Mitchell that Joe was really up for.

"Joe has too much for Kessler. It's a tough fight but Joe is at the top of his game at the moment and is a very hard fighter to beat.

"He has a great chin, can punch and has tremendous hand speed."
