Will there be tickets on sale for the Fatal Fury Fight Night in Times Square? Eddie Hearn responds

Top class boxing returns to New York City early next month with the Fatal Fury event. Ryan Garcia vs Rolly Romero, Devin Haney vs Jose Ramirez and Teofimo Lopez vs Arnold Barboza Jr. are the three fights on the card as puzzled fight fans are wondering as to how to secure tickets for the event on May 3 in the emblematic Times Square.

Big Apple boxing fans will be disappointed after co-promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed that the few available tickets will be distributed by invitation only to an exclusive VIP audience.

The Londoner himself acknowledges that the policy has caused some confusion and he recognises that a healthy profit could have been made via ticket sales.

The fight is promoted by Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment with profit not the immediate driving force for Turki Al Sheikh, the chairman of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority.

Fight fans will have to use alternate means to tune in and see the action with streaming platform DAZN set to broadcast the event from New York.
