Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua heavyweight rematch tickets are sold out in record time. The rematch between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury for the heavyweight undisputed world title has been completely sold out.
The huge demand for one of British boxing’s biggest fights saw more than 500,000 people queue online when tickets went on sale at 12:00 BST on Friday.
How will the event be scheduled? The fights will be held on December 11, with Fury and Joshua likely to walk to the ring in the early hours of December 12.
The cheapest ticket was 88.50 and the most expensive 13,128 (plus booking fees). Within days of the announcement of the venues, tickets were being sold for in excess of 73,645 for ringside VIP seats.
The event will be streamed worldwide on Netflix and advertising for it will include a cross-promotional partnership between The Ring, headed by Turki Alalshikh, and UFC president Dana White.
There was doubt two weeks ago that the fight would go ahead after a row over White’s promotional role, but the British rivals held a press conference to kick-start the build-up last Monday.
The 38-year-old Fury and 36-year-old Joshua, a former two-time world champion, are said to have a purse that nearly hits 200 million dollars (151 million).
There is no word on the undercard fights so far.
