Joshua-Usyk. The second most attended fight of the year

Andrew Karlov Sept. 26, 2021, 8:39 a.m.

On Saturday, 66,000 spectators were able to watch the Matchroom Boxing night in London live. In the main fight of the evening Oleksandr Usyk defeated Anthony Joshua by unanimous decision of the judges, winning the three heavyweight championship belts.

This is the second highest attendance result for a boxing event this year. May's tournament in Arlington drew a wider audience, during which Saul Alvarez stopped Billy Joe Saunders. More than 73,000 people watched the duel between the Mexican and British man live.

Saturday night was not the biggest audience for Joshua. The Englishman's duel with Wladimir Klitschko in 2017 was watched live by 90,000 spectators.
