Full details, including on-sale dates and service charges, are available on Ticketmaster. The venue will be able to hold 80,000 supporters on the day and it will be the first time a professional boxing event has been staged at the home of the GAA since the late great Muhammad Ali famously fought Detroit heavyweight Alvin ‘Blue’ Lewis back in 1972.
