Boxing marketers are expected to smile to the bank following the fast-approaching Anthony Joshua-Wladimir Klitschko WBA heavyweight title fight showdown.
The two fighters will make millions, as well as the promoters; while re-sale ticket outlets are aiming incredibly high.
The fight, a complete sell-out at Wembley with a staggering, record setting 90,000 tickets all gone, will of course go down on April 29, and fans are hoping for a great fight.
Many are justified in claiming that NO FIGHT is worth such a lofty price tag, and who on earth could possibly disagree with such thinking? The one good thing this greed shows us, however, is the fact that boxing really is booming right now; in the UK especially. Too many times we’ve been forced to listen to the tired, old, ‘boxing is dying’ rubbish. Not a chance. This fight and it’s monetary value more than proves the sport is thriving.
With less than few days to go, both men are already looking to be in absolutely fantastic physical condition, as one would fully expect from two pros such as these. But as the former champ and upcoming challenger’s brother Vitali Klitschko recently stated; this fight will not come down to mere muscles.
