    It's actually a very good undercard. The Badou Jack fight will be fun and Tabiti Spong is intriguing (at Briderweight ?).

    It's better than expected, Matchroom should really boost their other UK undercards rather than a PPV one involving Joshua but I'm not complaining.

    My Mum never lets me buy the PPV anyway so I guess it doesn't affect my viewing quality

    It's that strong the cynic in me thinks Eddie knows it ain't happening so he has made it as strong as possible so he can cry to Kugan about what a stacked event it was.

    Just announced to be on Sky Sports Box Office.

    Presenter said it is £26.95 ?! Might be a mistake...surely ?

    Cracking undercard. The usual suspects on here will only moan though...

    The undercard doesn't need to be strong because of the main event, and it isn't.

    It's not very good, is it? If it was a Frank Warren undercard he would be slaughtered.

    It's a good undercard.

    But if your taking Saudi money I won't be putting in my hard earned.

    Team Humble feeling the pinch due to the cost of living crisis hence the Sky Sports Box Office price increase to £26.95.

    Strong rumours circulating around North Finchley that Anthony will also get a testimonial fight against Dell Boy Chisora priced at £29.99 on Sky Sports Box Office should he lose.

    It’s certainly a big letdown compared to the stacked event Warren put on in London

    Why are people even bothering to try and say they rate the undercard? It doesn't even matter really as the main event is so good, but the undercard is god awful

    If Sky Sports set the Box Office price at £0.99 would either fighter proceed with the fight?

    Obviously not as the fighters wouldn't make any money from the ppv upside would they?

    The reality is sky bought the rights for the fight and it will be them that will determine a price point which they believe will work for them, the fighters and the consumers.

    The idea that AJ and Usuyk are crunching numbers to see what price point works is ridiculous.

    very good undercard, don't know how you can complain

    People are probably assuming Bauderlique is a nobody cause he's not known, but hes a solid fighter, Olympic Bronze medalist, and was impressive in the world series of boxing

    Team Humble and Team Usyk make their financial demands along with promoter, button pressed and up goes the price to £26.95.

    The collective are responsible and I heard the cost of living crisis resulted in the discounted price of £26.95 and not £26.99.
