Joshua just headlined the 02 (15,000 punters) for a Commonwealth title fight against an opponent that most "hardcore" fans wouldn't have known and has now sold out the 02 (20,000 tickets) in mere hours for a British title fight (and is so popular with the casual fans it will be PPV).
Er yes he has.
He was the main fight on the Excell arena dhow that 20,000 went to


Eubank jr-Billy Joe sold that card. His fights either side were in a half empty Copperbox (which holds 7000) and a 85% empty O2.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
