I think the German word is minuten.
And no, I doubt it. Loads of sporting events will have taken place by then.

Is there an undercard for this on the Sky Sports bill, or will we have to order the PPV and get Rod Stewart?
Is Chunky vs Bute on the PPV as well?

Another question from me - does anyone know if they do official programs at German boxing shows? Or is it up to the promoter?

For those though who doesnt need to pace themselves, gluewhine is best when fortified with rum.

It's a bit obvious - but if at any point the fight is stopped on cuts - they need to rush Rod back into the ring to sing 'The First Cut is the Deepest'. The sombre melodies are sure to sooth the usual disappointment from such a result.

Still strong enough to require pacing though!
Aye! I wouldn't treat it like hot tizer, let's put it that way. I can't stand mulled wine usually, so I don't tend to get through more than one.

Will the crowd be mixed? As in Fury and Klitshcko fans sitting together all over the stadium or will the Fury/British fans be sitting in a certain area?

I got the £29 ticks on the eventim website. Would be a pity if there is a section for Fury fans and I've gone and bought a ticket in the middle of German fans lol

If you bought through the UK site you'll be in with Brits.

Anyone know what the temperature will be like inside the stadium? Presume it's heated in some way but still likely to be chilly?

The stadium will be covered but will still be cold, given the size of it. Wear your winter coat. I expect it to be around 4 degree.

If you're after traditional german fare with good atmosphere then any of these would be good:

http://www.brauerei-zum-schiffchen.de/z ... chen-e.php
http://www.zumschluessel.de/en/start
http://fuechschen.de/WordPress_01/brewe ... estaurant/
Don't forget that as the Christmas markets will be on it will be busy so recommend booking ahead. All of them are in the Aldstat.

This is what the Esprit Arena says on it's official site:
HEATING SYSTEM
The ESPRIT arena’s state-of-the-art, unique heating system assures that with closed roof, temperatures in the stands are at least 15 degrees C even during the winter months.
This is achieved by air heating, gas burners and under floor heating. 100 fans move 900 000 cubic metres of air per hour. In all, the air conditioning and ventilation system of the ESPRIT arena is able to move 3 million cubic metres of air per hour.
This is why the ESPRIT arena can accommodate big events throughout the year, regardless of the weather - something no other arena in Germany is able to.
