Friday 9 September 2016 19:33, UK
Man United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is amongst a star-studded line up of celebrities likely to attend Gennady Golovkin's titanic clash with Kell Brook, according to promoter Eddie Hearn.
The giant Swede will be taking part in a hugely anticipated Manchester derby earlier in the day, to be shown live on Sky Sports 1, before making his way down to London to be a part of another of the year's biggest sporting events.
Brook, an undefeated welterweight world champion, has jumped up two weight classes to challenge 'GGG', the destructive unified middleweight king, at The O2 this Saturday, live on Sky Sports Box Office. Both fighters were inside the 160lb limit when they weighed in on Friday.
It is one of the hottest tickets in town and Ibrahimovic is expected to be joined by the cast of hit TV drama Game of Thrones, movie star Mark Wahlberg and comedian Dave Chappelle.
WIth that, London favourite and IBF world champion Anthony Joshua, who is used to being on the inside of the O2's squared circle, will also be sitting ringside along with fellow heavyweights David Haye and Wladimir Klitschko.
Amir Khan, Lee Selby, James DeGale and future Hall of Famer Bernard Hopkins - who is part of the HBO commentary team over from the USA - complete the star-studded line up, while Olympic bronze medallist Joshua Buatsi will be there to taste what the future may hold for him.
