There will be more English there than welsh for one. Out of all the home nations, Wales and England have the friendliest relationship. Joshua fights under the union jack. The whole UK gets behind him.
Parker will be booed. Possibly more so than any of Joshuas opponents because of Parkers team in the build up.
Some dude on the news interviewed a couple of welsh pub dwellers last night who said they would support parker
LOL.
Seriously, I'll be surprised if there are 1000 supporters for Parker.
So according to the national statistics survey done in 2015, around 59,000 Kiwis live in the UK. Even if every one of them bought a ticket, it wouldn't even fill the stadium. So out of the 59,000, they would have to be interested in boxing. They would have to compete with around 60 million brits for tickets and hotels. They would have to be willing to travel there and pay for it all. I'm a hardcore boxing fan, and I'm not even going to this. Cardiff is a nightmare for hotels.
