I’ll try and go too.
Will be a mix of prices. Cheapest will be something like £50 up to a grand or two for ringside. Haven’t been announced yet I don’t think.
I made the mistake of letting a mate get the tickets for Haye/Klitschko in Hamburg - we were third row from the back of the top tier.
Since then we’ve always tried to get tickets near the bottom of the lower tier. Been on the pitch for a few and it’s tricky to see much if you’re not close and people are standing. Had outer ringside for Haye/Chisora which was pretty cool.

Without wanting to come over all Alan Partridge, it is either unique or it isn’t. Can’t be a bit unique , a little but unique or somewhat unique.
Doesn’t matter if 200 people have done it or 2. If more than one then it’s not unique.
Murray Walker would disagree with you there.

I usually go with whoever the main agent is for the show. Log in on phone, laptop, iPad to try and get a decent queue position.

Who will people be hoping wins?
For me it will be Usyk - he comes across as a real character; cant help but like him.
Joshua with his previous racist comments, and just his whole arrogant persona is just not appealing.

usyk wins this. joshua cant fight 12 rounds at a pace . when he exerts himself he needs practically two rounds off to recover. that is when he will be like a sitting duck for usyk to exploit. joshua has a slim chance of landing his big punches cleanly, and even if he does....i cant think of any time in the past where usyk looked vulnerable....joshua , on the other hand, has been down plenty of times

Usyk for me. He’s everything I want a fighter to be. No bullshit with him, he’s taken tough fights quickly & he fights everyone in their backyard.
Especially when he’s not a knockout artist it takes balls & bravery to go on the road & fight in England, USA, Latvia, Russia, Germany etc when there’s every chance you could get shafted on the cards

Fully aware. But all his threads on here have been Olek. So I’m keeping it same.
It’s the same with Loma. All of a sudden they stopped referring him as Vasyl on sites, its Vissily. And GGG. Used to be Gennady, now it’s Gennadiy..
It’s a Euro thing I guess.

I agree AJ has stamina issues but he recovers pretty well. He's been dropped a few times but always gets back on his feet and Usyk doesn't hit as hard as any of the boxers who hurt Joshua. Usyk doesn't hit hard enough to stop heavyweights walking him down, Chisora was tired in the last couple of rounds but Usyk couldn't put a dent in him. When Joshua is taking a couple of rounds off what do you think Usyk is going to do?
Also, Usyk has been hurt before and by someone who doesn't hit nearly as hard as AJ.

x2. Is that the best people can come up with? It was a good shot which he shook off immediately. That's also one decent punch from what I remember to be a painfully one sided fight.

Joshua (24-1, 22 KOs) dominated and then floored IBF Mandatory Challenger Kubrat Pulev to score a brutal ninth-round knockout at The SSE Arena, Wembley last time out in December in what was his first fight on UK soil since he stopped Alexander Povetkin in seven explosive rounds at Wembley Stadium back in September 2018.
The Heavyweight division’s biggest attraction has sold-out stadiums and arenas around the world and now ‘AJ’ returns to the Capital for his fifth stadium fight looking to create more history as he faces his latest WBO Mandatory Challenger at the new state of the art home of Spurs, following in the footsteps of Frank Bruno MBE who defeated Joe Bugner in Matchroom Boxing’s first Heavyweight promotion at the old White Hart Lane in October 1987.
Ukrainian pound-for-pound star Usyk (18-0, 13 KOs) made the move to the Heavyweight division after dominating at Cruiserweight, ending his extraordinary spell at 200lbs as the Undisputed king with a phenomenal run of victories in his opponent’s backyard against Marco Huck, Mairis Briedis, Murat Gassiev and Tony Bellew.
The 2012 Olympic Gold medallist began his assault on the Heavyweight division by retiring Chazz Witherspoon in seven rounds at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago in October 2019 and continued his bid to become a two-weight World Champion when he outpointed Derek Chisora over 12 rounds at The SSE Arena, Wembley last October.

It's proof he can be hurt, look at his legs go and he needs to grab and hold Bredis. It wasn't a big punch from a big heavyweight.

If you think that was a one sided fight you don't know much about boxing tbh.

Its very big punching Gassiev.

Of course I want Joshua to win, always good to have a heavy punching, thrills chills and spills heavyweight champion, and not a blown up cruiserweight masquerading as a heavyweight, tippy tapping round the ring. As go the heavyweights, so goes boxing.
Should be no problem though, as Joshua will be bouncing the likeable Usyk off the canvas after a few rounds.
I’ve not been to a Joshua fight before, so question for the veterans on here: if we turn up slightly later to avoid the diabolical undercard, huge queues and watered-down beer, are we likely to find some coked up steroid baboons sitting in our seats with security turning a blind eye?

No. You'll be fine.
Concentrate on getting the tickets. That will be the biggest problem you face.
