ANTHONY JOSHUA will be cheered on by 1,000 fans when he defends his world titles against Kubrat Pulev at Wembley.
He returns to the ring for the first time since he reclaimed the belts from Andy Ruir Jr last December.
Now he will be the first star to fight in front of a crowd since the coronavirus pandemic struck after his promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed a crowd will be allowed at the event on December 12.
Hearn said: “I can’t tell you how happy I am to see fans returning to our live boxing events.
“Whilst the team have done an incredible job over the last 10 months we live and breathe through the energy and atmosphere that a live crowd generates.
“It’s so fitting that they can return for an AJ fight, when through the last few years he has broken all kinds of attendance records in the U.K. and beyond.
“This is such a positive move for boxing and all sport. Welcome back!”
