Gary Sykes supporters will be out in force for Kays defence
Sykes will meet Manchester’s Jonny Kays at the Motorpoint Arena but with Khan topping the bill in what could be his last fight on British soil and a packed undercard, which includes heavyweight Audley Harrison and the debut of Olympic bronze medal winner Anthony Ogogo, tickets have been selling fast.
Sykes sold his initial allocation of £50 tickets and a second batch are also spoken for, although the Dewsbury star still has a limited number of £75 tickets available from the Central Boxing Club in Batley.
