There is no doubt that one of 2022′s great sporting events will be the rematch between unified champion Oleksander Usyk and Anthony Joshua in Jeddah, Saudia Arabia this Saturday, August 20. Ranking up with the Super Bowl and soccer’s World Cup, this heavyweight bout has all the makings of a legendary, legacy-making matchup, one that will be remembered for generations to come as either the confirmation or undoing of a great champion, no matter who wins.

If you are in the Persian Gulf region, or even if you are not and have the means to get to Saudi Arabia before Saturday, you may be of a mind to check out the action in person. If so, the tickets are available for a reasonable price, considering the level of the event.

With the bout being held in the King Abdullah Sports City stadium, a 60,000-plus seater soccer stadium, reduced to around 35,000 for boxing events, there is ample chance of getting in. Tickets start at 375 Saudi riyals ($100) and go up to 20,000 riyals ($5333) for ringside, a snip all things considered.

Of course, this is not taking into account flights and accommodation in Saudi Arabia’s second largest city. But if you are willing to go that extra mile, the fight tickets are at a price that certainly should be tempting for any boxing fan.
