Manchester Arena is delighted to welcome Anthony Joshua back to the undisputed and undefeated home of UK boxing, according to general manager James Allen.

Love him or hate him, Tyson Fury’s shock victory last weekend and post bout singing was another example of the Manchester fighter bringing some much-needed character to a division in dire need of it.

The sight of Anthony Martial turning Martin Skrtel into human origami was a stark reminder of the magic that has been sadly lacking at Manchester United since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson.
