Two British heavyweights will clash this weekend when Fabio Wardley and Daniel Dubois square off in Manchester. The pair will step through the ropes at Co-op Live on Saturday (May 9) as the headline bout of 'Don't Blink'.
This will be the first occasion Wardley (20-0-1, 19 KOs) has been required to defend his WBO title since it was upgraded from interim status following his victory over Joseph Parker in October. Dubois (22-3, 21 KOs), meanwhile, would be crowned heavyweight world champion for a second time should he emerge victorious.
Although the contest is now just days away, boxing fans can still snap up last-minute tickets from several official retailers. These include a host of general admission options alongside VIP and hospitality packages.
Here are all the key details on buying tickets for Wardley vs Dubois.
VIP and hospitality ticketsSeat Unique offers a host of official VIP and hospitality packages for the fight, but there are now fewer than 10 tickets up for grabs. These are for the Lounge package at £179 per person.
With this, fans can enjoy the bout from seats adjacent to the stage on the suite level of the arena, with access to a 'luxurious' private bar serving food and drink, avoiding the lengthy general admission queues. The Lounge will also benefit from a dedicated suite attendant on hand throughout the evening. There is a catch, however, as fans must pay an £8.95 booking fee per ticket. Those wishing to get closer to the action can alternatively opt for a Ticketmaster VIP Package ranging from £109.95 to £854.50 per person, with the most premium option offering ringside seats and exclusive access to the Co-op Backstage Club.
This also includes a complimentary food and drinks package and event programme at no extra cost.
General admission ticketsTicketmaster is still offering general admission tickets in most areas of the Co-op Live arena, with prices starting at £49.95 for those in the upper tiers. Costs naturally rise the closer to the ring you get, with many lower tier seats listed from £174.95 each.
Floor tickets represent the most expensive general admission option available, ranging from £174.95 to £570.95. However, for this additional outlay, guests find themselves near the ring in blocks C1-C3, directly behind the VIP area.
Customers should be aware that Ticketmaster applies additional fees of up to £3.25 to each order.
Resale ticketsA number of resale tickets are also up for grabs at sites like StubHub and viagogo. These are official tickets bought by fans who have listed them for sale on the sites and may cost more than face value, with many single or multiple ticket options available.
Prices here can fluctuate closer to the event, but at time of writing the most affordable are £74.84 each at StubHub. These are located in the Co-op's upper tier, while lower tier seats start at £151.69 and floor seats at £301.24.
There's also several VIP ticket options, but these £800 face value tickets are listed for £1,204.96 each. This could change in the days leading up to the fight as sellers reduce their prices to make a sale, but this is never guaranteed.
The same applies to viagogo, where tickets currently range from £71 to £1,233. Again, the cheaper options are located furthest from the ring, with prices increasing in the lower tier and floor.
Stream Wardley vs Dubois on DAZNFor those who prefer to watch from the comfort of home, Wardley vs Dubois will be broadcast live on DAZN. There's now two ways to watch: order the pay-per-view for a one-off £24.99, or get it included at no extra cost with DAZN Ultimate Tier.
This new premium subscription encompasses at least 12 PPVs each year, including Usyk vs Rico (May 23) and Joshua vs Prenga (July 25). It also grants access to more than 185 fight nights from promoters such as Queensbury, Matchoom and Misfits.
This single subscription starts at £24.99 on a monthly basis or £249.99 annually, the latter of which saves £49.89. DAZN claims its Ultimate Tier delivers potential savings of £320 per year, compared to purchasing 12 separate PPV bouts individually. There is one stipulation however: customers must commit to a 12-month contract to secure these prices and perks.
