Comments Thread For: More than 60,000 tickets sold in opening 24 hours for Oleksandr Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium

That certainly applies to Usyk.
When was the last time he had a major fight in Ukraine? Never?

The first Dubois fight was in Poland where there was a significant Ukrainian population. But to answer your question, I think his last fight in Ukraine was a decade ago against Pedro Julio Rodriguez. He's fought in neutral turf or his opponent's back yard for nearly every other fight he's had.

Packing them in.

Who's on the undercard?
Kabayel v Okolie
Dalton Smith v Aziz
Parker v Chisora
Whyte v H Fury

They've forever managed to sell out HUGE stadiums. Seems like a common thing. 60k seats speaks volumes

We have. In relative terms, it is. It doesn't.

90,000 people watched AJ vs Klitschko live at Wembley Stadium in 2017.

If you've ever been offended by a ****** casual, avoid a UK stadium fight (just serious).

We do have a superb hardcore of knowledgeable boxing fanatics here, but as a nation we also just love a gigantic boxing event in general.

They've been hyped in all forms of our national media with extreme prejudice since before Ali came over to see Henry Cooper so boxing fan or not, literally all 68 million of us always knows when one's happening. We don't even need the internet for that, it's a really small country lol.

They're summer events for obvious reasons, London has a huge population (9 million) so sales are rapid, and Wembley fight tickets are social currency for the elite (both domestic & international) as well as business currency for the corporate.

WE LOVE STADIUM FIGHTS!!!!

So you really think all the people that go to boxing fights in the u.s are real boxing fans? fvkcing idiot

I would have preferred Parker or Kabayel to fight Usyk before Dubois got another shot, but it is what it is. You cant argue with 60k+ packing into a stadium for a boxing match. Should be electric.
