With a few weeks to go until Anthony Joshua and Charles Martin take to the ring at London’s O2 arena on April 9th, in what promises to be one of 2016’s most significant sporting events, viagogo, the world’s largest source of live event tickets, has seen a 167% surge in demand for the clash.
With Britain’s Olympic champion, Anthony Joshua setting his sights on a future bout with David Haye, next month’s head-to-head battle with IBF world heavyweight, Charles Martin, is a highly anticipated match for boxing fans.
With the stakes high, viagogo has reported record demand, with ticket prices starting at £130 and reaching as high as £13,700 for the hottest tickets in this year’s sporting calendar.
A viagogo spokesperson commented: “As Anthony Joshua goes from strength to strength, it is unsurprising that we have seen demand go through the roof. With 5 victories at London’s O2 under his belt, it seems boxing fans are hoping to see another knockout performance from the Olympic gold medallist.
“We have seen prices shoot up in recent weeks as fans clamour to snap up tickets, but while sellers can list a ticket at any price they like, it doesn’t mean the ticket will actually sell at that price. Tickets listed at silly prices rarely sell.”
