“We couldn’t be happier with the response this fight has been getting and the way tickets have been selling for this event,” said Leon Margules, Executive Director of Seminole Warriors Boxing. “The $1,000 tickets are sold out already and the rest of the tickets are moving very well. I would advise any fight fans that want to see this historic fight live to get to the box office as soon as possible because we expect to announce a sellout.”
Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions added, "This is Wladimir's second time headlining the Garden and now that he is fighting another Champion in Ibrigamov, the fans are responding to see this great heavyweight match."
