Matchroom Boxing will donate 200 tickets per event at our Saturday Fight Night and PPV shows to the brave front line NHS heroes fighting the coronavirus pandemic.

The scheme will last for 12 months from when it is safe for boxing to resume, with tickets available for a stellar schedule of boxing that includes Anthony Joshua’s Heavyweight World Title defence against Kubrat Pulev at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Oleksandr Usyk’s blockbuster Heavyweight clash with Derek Chisora, Dillian Whyte’s crunch Heavyweight showdown with Alexander Povetkin and much more.

Managing Director of Matchroom Boxing Eddie Hearn said: “We’ve been thinking about how we can say thank you to the incredible NHS workers that have selflessly helped everybody through this COVID-19 crisis.

“They’ve been absolutely amazing and from our side at Matchroom Boxing we are announcing a new scheme for when we get back to our live shows where we will be giving away 200 tickets to NHS workers for every Saturday Fight Night and PPV show around the country from hopefully this summer forward.

“We can’t thank you enough for all of your support. NHS workers, you have been absolutely incredible, and you are the pride of our country. Stay well everyone, stay safe, stay at home and we’ll get through this soon.”

Fair play to Eddie, unfortunately it’s not looking like any boxing event till after summer

Seeing quite a few famous people donating money to the cause. Guardiola and Rona,do. Think Amir Khan has done something as well. Good to see.

Whilst they're on a roll, maybe Hearn might consider giving Saunders his cards ?

Nice one Matchroom.

You can't knock that really, can you?

Its a nice geasture but who will be the staff that get them? similar to the thousands of tickets Unison give to the NHS every August for Doncaster Races. Ive only ever seen tickets once since Unison started this many years ago. The ticket free tickets go somewhere but id like to know who to?

Ed's just such a f@cking gent , plus the more nhs people there the better for when guys get their brains bashed around
