Tickets for Anthony Joshua’s IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO Heavyweight World Title defence against Oleksandr Usyk at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Saturday September 25 have sold out within the first 24 hours of going on sale.
‘AJ’ has sold-out stadiums and arenas around the world and now the Heavyweight division’s biggest attraction returns to the Capital for his fifth stadium fight at the sensational, state of the art home of Tottenham Hotspur F.C.
Over 100,000 fans waited in the StubHub ticket queue for their chance to land seats for one of the biggest Heavyweight clashes of the year starring two London 2012 Olympic gold medallists going head-to-head in their quests for Undisputed supremacy.
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.
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.
Undercard details will be announced in due course.

His handlers following the Klitschko's blueprint. They really elevated the spectacle of them cleaning out that weak ass division with the sheer scale of the production. Joshua mixing that same spectacle with making all the best fights possible.
Callum Smith-Lenin Castillo To Be Added To Joshua-Usyk Undercard On September 25

Callum Smith will face an opponent who has lost to one of boxing’s unbeaten light heavyweight champions in Smith’s debut at the 175-pound limit.
BoxingScene.com has learned Smith and Lenin Castillo have agreed to fight September 25 in London. The Smith-Castillo clash will be part of the Anthony Joshua-Oleksandr Usyk undercard at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and is expected to be broadcast by Sky Sports Box Office during a pay-per-view broadcast in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
It hadn’t been determined at the time this story was posted if the bout between Smith (27-1, 19 KOs) and Castillo (21-3-1, 16 KOs) will be a 10-round fight or a 12-round WBC elimination match.
Regardless, Liverpool’s Smith will fight for the first time since he lost his WBA super middleweight title to Canelo Alvarez on December 19 at Alamodome in San Antonio. Mexico’s Alvarez dominated Smith during their 12-round, 168-pound championship match and won by big margins on all three scorecards (119-109, 119-109, 117-111).
The 31-year-old Smith took the biggest fight of his career on barely four weeks’ notice.
The 32-year-old Castillo competed more recently than Smith. He stopped Ronald Gonzalez (8-1, 8 KOs) after the fourth round of their scheduled 10-rounder July 21 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Venezuela’s Gonzalez suffered an undisclosed injury during the first round and couldn’t answer the bell for the fifth round.
Castillo’s victory over Gonzalez marked his return from a 21-month layoff following his lopsided loss to WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol.
Russia’s Bivol (18-0, 11 KOs) easily out-boxed Castillo throughout their 12-round title bout in October 2019 at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. Bivol beat Castillo by scores of 120-107, 119-108 and 119-108.
Santo Domingo’s Castillo previously lost to a 10-round unanimous decision to light heavyweight contender Marcus Browne (24-1, 16 KOs) and an eight-round majority decision to Joseph Williams (13-0, 8 KOs).
This has probably turned into the best fight of the year by default.
