Tickets for Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte sold out quickly on Wednesday after around 200,000 attempted to buy a seat at Wembley Stadium.
The queue grew as large as 150,000 at one point - with tens of thousands more attempting to buy tickets - leaving many fans inevitably disappointed with Wembley's capacity being only 90,000.
Wednesday saw the race for tickets begin when they had gone on sale on midday - a day after Fury held a press conference with Whyte refusing to show up.
Fury later claimed all 90,000 tickets were snapped up within hours, celebrating on his social media platforms as he stated: "This is for all the people who bought tickets for Wembley and made it a sell-out; I salute them."
