Frank Warren is poised to trigger an application for Wembley Stadium to increase its provisional crowd limit for the fight between Daniel Dubois and Oleksander Usyk from 88,000 to 94,000.

With the clash for the undisputed world heavyweight title still almost three weeks away more than 83,000 tickets have been snapped up already.

When that rises to 88,000 promoter Warren will be able to seek a 6,000 increase.

The estimated record for boxing at Wembley is the 96,000 for Dubois’ dramatic KO of Anthony Joshua last September.

While attendances cannot reach the 120,000-plus gates at the old Wembley, the 2008 FA Cup Final filled the new stadium with 89,874.

Boxing has the scope for higher turn-outs by using the pitch for seats. As do music concerts, with Adele setting in 2007 the record for the modern era of 98,000. So far.

Might Usyk v Dubois overtake that? ‘We’ll have to see,’ says Warren.

‘What we do know is that the first fight on British soil for the undisputed heavyweight championship is exciting everyone home and abroad.’

Usyk v Dubois will be televised live on DAZN pay per view on July 19.
