Originally holding 90,000 seats, Wembley Stadium had its capacity boosted to 96,000 following the unprecedented ticket sales.
Its capacity had been increased for previous events, most notably when Tyson Fury’s bout with Dillian Whyte drew 94,000 fans in 2022.
This move, confirmed by Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, highlights the immense interest in the bout, with fans eager to witness the high-stakes clash between Joshua and Dubois.
For Dubois, this fight marks his first defence as the IBF heavyweight champion, a title he inherited after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt.
Dubois is determined to seize this opportunity and solidify his place at the top of the heavyweight division.
