Fury-Joshua fight expected to set British boxing gate record
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are set to box on December 11 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
The two former British heavyweight champions have long been expected to meet, and the fight has drawn strong demand.

White expects the event to bring in about $34 million from ticket sales, which would be a record gate for British boxing.
He said that figure would rank fourth among boxing’s biggest gates worldwide, behind three other fights.
The stadium holds more than 70,000 people, and ticket prices ranged from £88.50 to £13,128 for regular seats.
White says he is helping organize the event and will oversee its production.

This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
I think there's less than 700 tickets left. You can consider this thing a sellout already.
Definitely. It will. I don't want to mis-speak here but we have this thing scaled for around $34 million.
The UK is the right place for this fight to happen but it will have done well anywhere.
Helped them with the gate, putting everything together. We're going to do all the production, produce the show and do what I do every Saturday.
