LONDON: General admission tickets for the Riyadh Season Card —Wembley Edition boxing event next month have sold out, Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority revealed on Friday.

GEA chairperson Turki Alalshikh said that select platinum-level tickets and hospitality packages are still available for the event at Wembley Stadium in London on Sept. 21, which features an all-British card.

In the headline bout of the evening, former unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua will take on International Boxing Federation interim champion Daniel Dubois for the title.

On the undercard, two-time featherweight champion Josh Warrington will challenge super-featherweight world champion Anthony Cacace for his belt, while Hamza Sheeraz will take on European middleweight champion Tyler Denny in an attempt to claim his European Boxing Union title.

Former Olympian Josh Kelly will face the former World Boxing Organization super-welterweight champion, Liam Smith, and 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Joshua Buatsi will battle Willy Hutchinson for the vacant WBO light-heavyweight title.

Completing the card, World Boxing Association intercontinental champion Mark Chamberlain will battle fellow British lightweight Josh Padley, who is undefeated.

Organizers announced in June that former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher would supply the musical entertainment at the event.
