Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua's Fight Tickets Sell Out Fast
Tickets for the heavyweight boxing match between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium sold out within one hour of their release, with prices ranging from £88.50 to £13,128 including booking fees. The fight is scheduled to headline an event on December 11, with the actual bout expected to occur in the early hours of December 12.
Approximately 80,000 tickets were made available at 12:00 BST, attracting over 500,000 people in the online queue. The fight, announced in September, will be promoted by Turki Alalshikh’s The Ring and UFC chief Dana White, and will be broadcast globally on Netflix.
Resale listings for tickets appeared quickly after the sell-out, with ringside VIP seats advertised for £73,645. Both fighters, former two-time world champions, signed contracts for the bout earlier in the year, but the date and venue were only confirmed recently after initial considerations for Wembley Stadium and Madison Square Garden.
The purse for the fight is reported to be close to $200 million (£151 million).
