His Excellency Turki Alalshikh hopes subsequent month’s occasion, headlined by IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois and Anthony Joshua, will set a report for attendance for a boxing match on September twenty first at Wembley Stadium in London, England. The present report is the match between Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte, which attracted a crowd of 94,000 at Wembley Stadium on April twenty third, 2022.
Tickets are nonetheless on sale for the Joshua-Dubois struggle, however it may very well be bought out within the true sense by September twenty first. British followers are enthusiastic about this struggle, desirous to see the 34-year-old Joshua resurrect his profession to turn into a three-time heavyweight champion and put himself able to struggle Tyson Fury after that.
The Return of the Classic Joshua?
UK followers need to see if Joshua (28-3, 25 KOs) can return to the shape he had a few years in the past. That’s the principle purpose why tickets are promoting. AJ has struggled since 2019, dropping thrice and seemingly getting ready to being washed up after his second loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2022.
Promoter Eddie Hearn has partially resurrected him along with his intelligent match-making, however we don’t know if he’s again as a result of his opposition has been pure 100% tomato cans in his final 4 fights. Subsequently, the Dubois struggle will take a look at whether or not the outdated classic, absolutely restored 2013 model of Joshua is again.
It could be bodily unimaginable to return Joshua to what he was 11 years in the past. He’s taken quite a lot of punishment to the pinnacle, and he’s in his mid-30s now. He’s all the time been shaky within the chin division and along with his stamina. His 2012 Olympic gold medal is questionable, and he would have misplaced to Wladimir Klitschko in 2017 if he had his outdated coach, Emanuel Steward, in his nook. Steward had handed away in 2012.
Followers have differing opinions concerning the undercard for Joshua vs. Dubois. Whereas British followers are joyful concerning the fights on the undercard, U.S followers see domestic-level British fighters going nowhere by way of the world stage:
Undercard:
– Tyler Denny vs. Hamzah Sheeraz
– Anthony Cacace vs. Josh Warrington
– Liam Smith vs. Josh Kelly
– Joshua Buatsi vs. Wily Hutchinson
– Mark Chamberlain vs. Josh Padley
As a consequence of excessive tickets demand..We’ve requested to increase the capability at Wembley Stadium for the extremely anticipated bout between Joshua and Dubois at #RiyadhSeasonCard Wembley Version 🔥
We hope to set a report for the most important attendance in boxing historical past at Wembley Stadium😎🇸🇦🥊… pic.twitter.com/dSumJwVv48— TURKI ALALSHIKH (@Turki_alalshikh) August 27, 2024
