Despite the accelerating pandemic of coronavirus, an advertising campaign was officially launched for the event, scheduled for May 23 in London, where in the main event will be a duel between Derek Chisora (32-9, 23 KOs) and Oleksandr Usyk (17-0, 13 KOs).
Today a press conference was held with the participation of the fighters, and tickets will go on sale tomorrow. However, the organizer of the event - Matchroom Boxing - guarantees that they did not underestimate the threat of coronavirus, and in case of cancellation of the evening they would offer a refund for tickets purchased.
"We understand the concerns regarding the purchase of tickets for our evenings of boxing. Please note that if any of them will be postponed or canceled, we guarantee a refund," that is listed in the official statement of the organization by a promoter Eddie Hearn.
