Dana White claims the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua fight on December 11 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium will generate the most lucrative gate in British boxing history, scaled at approximately $34 million. Tickets went on sale Friday with regular seats priced between £88.50 and £13,128, and White revealed fewer than 700 tickets remain from the 70,000+ capacity. Over 500,000 people joined the Ticketmaster queue, with thousands sold within the first hour. White emphasized the fight's magnitude: "For our generation, two of the biggest, most famous heavyweights in boxing... not even arguable it's the biggest UK fight ever."
The most expensive tickets exceed face-value prices for major global events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup final (£8,333) and the 2015 Mayweather-Pacquiao bout (£4,982). Ringwalks are scheduled for around 1am local time for international audiences. No rematch clause exists in the contract, though a second bout could be negotiated. White's role includes production and gate management, stating: "We're going to do all the production, produce the show and do what I do every Saturday." Eddie Hearn has publicly disputed White's involvement, though Saudi financier Turki Alalshikh's The Ring is co-staging the event.
