Happen to be in London that weekend and though I wasn't interested but the fact Eubank Jr is taking on BJS on undercard makes it more appealing.
Seems to be plenty of tickets left (low sales ?) anyway so might just decide on the day.
But anyway anyone been a fight at the Excel Arena before ? Whats it like to get to and back from late at night ?!?
Bit surprised the website doesnt even announce the event as coming soon too ??
What's On
Iv got tickets, am going with my brother. Will be a class show as long as all the fights go ahead! Tyson and Hughie Fury, Chisora, Eddie Chambers, Eubank Jr and Saunders.Quote:

You will have to get a Docklands DLR train from the above that runs right to the Arena and takes about 10 mins.
Just a big warehouse style venue and not great views for a fight as it isn't naturally tiered.
Underground trains stop around 11.45-midnight so you'll have to leave early if your not staying at a hotel.
Dont make eye contact with anyone from Tower Hamlets either :)
not last new years eve the new years eve before we hired a flat that overlooked the o2 and got the full force of the firework show at 12 - sat on the balcony, nice place and pretty expensive gig all considered
i fell asleep about 11 and missed it all tho
if theres tickets still available last minute i might get some
Ross,
Hope you have a good night, its good to see a fan putting his money up, as I did many times, irrespective of result have a good weekend. I have spent many expensive nights, in many strange and expensive places, supporting Joe Bugner, Lennox Lewis, John Conteh, all the decent middleweights, and finally David Haye. Have a good weekend away, its an experience.
Geoff
Thanks! Looking forward to it. Having to fly in and not a fan of flying!
Go Large!!!!!!Quote:

Think your on to a 50/50 fight here, personally I dont give a toss who wins, but dont let the result cloud your ability to get to the bar, when you are a guest of Tyson Fury, you're his biggest fan so good luck to you.
Looks like iv fucked up!
Still have fight tickets, flights booked and hotel for Friday and Saturday but now I cant get in to the weigh in! The only reason I booked to go over Friday.
Have been searching nigh on everyday for when and where the weigh in will be expecting it to just be a free for all and now found that Boxnation had posted on twitter and facebook yesterday you need to book free tickets which have now sold out!!!
So now I'm over on Friday for no fucking reason!
Go to the weigh in anyway to soak up the atmosphere around it, you never know you might be able to sneak in.Quote:
