Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois will cost less than £20 worldwide on pay-per-view – marking a significant discount for American fans.
Staged at a sold-out Wembley, the showdown will see Dubois’ IBF heavyweight title on the line.
The belt was previously held by Oleksandr Usyk after he became the divison’s first undisputed champion in more than two decades after defeating Tyson Fury earlier this year.

While the clash is garnering significant attention, fans across the Atlantic have been overjoyed to find out the price of the pay-per-view.
