However, there is one thing that fans have been complaining about, and that's the waiting time for the main card, taking to X, formerly Twitter.
One posted: "When is this starting?"
Another said: "This undercard is long af omg"
A third put: "We're not 'moments away' from from anything Michael Buffer, we're about 15 or 20 minutes away at least."
The undercard did take its time, and when most thought that the fight was starting and that we would see the Ukrainian and Brit make their way to the ring, American hip-hop artist J.I.D did a short show for an already frustrated crowd.
