Revealed: VIP guest list for Daniel Dubois vs Oleksandr Usyk 2, including Jake Paul, a former James Bond and four Tottenham team-mates
As Daniel Dubois prepares to face Oleksandr Usyk in their highly anticipated rematch under the arch, a host of celebrity guests and sporting figures have descended on London for the heavyweight showdown.
Among the big names spotted in the VIP section is YouTube sensation turned fighter Jake Paul, while former James Bond Daniel Craig and culinary star Gordon Ramsay have also taken their seats.
Ramsay, who recently completed an Iron Man 70.3, was walking fine despite his aches – and predicted a win for Dubois, confidently backing him to get the job done in round seven.
Hollywood action star Jason Statham, Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington, comedians Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe, and podcast personality GK Barry are all in attendance too, as is actor Liev Schreiber, best known for his role in Ray Donovan.
Football is well represented, with four current Tottenham Hotspur team-mates attending the event: James Maddison, Djed Spence, Brennan Johnson and Dominic Solanke.
England striker Callum Wilson and former West Ham star Michail Antonio are also on the guest list, as is former Spurs and England striker Jermain Defoe.
From the world of boxing, two former British icons — Frank Bruno and Prince Naseem Hamed — were among the early arrivals.
Also in the building is Turki Al-Sheikh, the Saudi Arabian sports promoter and chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, whose growing influence continues to shape the global boxing landscape.
Ukraine, naturally, has a strong contingent backing Usyk.
Former Ballon d'Or winner Andriy Shevchenko, current national team goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, manager Serhiy Rebrov, Olympic high jump champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh, and boxer Oleksandr Khyzhniak were all seen arriving in support of their countryman.
Despite heavy rain in London, the downpour hasn't dampened the atmosphere.
Fighters on the undercard were seen walking to the ring with umbrellas, but the excitement for the main event remained undampened.
The bout is a rematch of their 2023 clash in Poland, where Usyk stopped Dubois in the ninth round after a controversial low blow earlier in the fight.

Katie Price shares her motherly pride as she reveals son Harvey has finished college - after her daughter Princess moved out
Katie Price has revealed her son Harvey has finished college as she shared a gushing post. The former glamour model, 47, took to Instagram on Saturday night to share her pride with a sweet photo of her and Harvey. Announcing Harvey had officially completed school, Katie went on to tease that he has plans for the 'next chapter'. 'College done ✅ so proud of my boy. Onto the next chapter xx,' Katie wrote. Pals of Katie were quick to congratulate Harvey, with Ru Paul's Drag Race star Michelle Visage commenting: 'CONGRATS HARV!!!!' Meanwhile Jedward said: 'Wow congratulations Harvey you should be so proud.' It comes after Katie revealed her daughter Princess has moved out of her home. The 18-year-old, who she shares with ex Peter Andre, has embarked on her own career, with Princess currently filming her very own reality show. And speaking to sister Sophie on the latest episode of The Katie Price Show podcast, Katie told how her eldest daughter is no longer living with her due to filming her ITV programme - which Katie is not allowed to appear on. But as she discussed the situation, the former glamour model, 47 - who was recently banned from her girl's 18th birthday - couldn't help but make a dig at Peter and his management company, Can Associates, who are making the show. She told Sophie: 'Princess was living with me but because she's doing her documentary, and I'm not even allowed to breathe near the documentary, she has been predominantly staying at her dads while she is filming.' The subject came up as Katie spoke about her hunt for a new home amid the sale of her £5k-a-month rental property, with Sophie suggesting that Katie only needs a three-bed home for her and her youngest children, with a sofa bed for when the other kids visit. However, Katie was quick to insist that Princess would soon be back, while also noting that second eldest son Junior and his girlfriend Jasmine may move back in too as they do not like renting. She shared: 'It's's only because she has been filming that she has been at Pete's because obviously I'm not allowed anywhere near it. She has only got about two weeks left of filming.' She added: 'I'm that kind of mum where I have to make sure my kids have bedrooms if they want it, you never know do you.' Katie's words comes just weeks after she blasted Peter's management, The Can Group, after she was banned from their daughter Princess' 18th birthday. The TV personality went on a rant about the awkward snub with her sister Sophie in a recent episode of the podcast. MailOnline's Katie Hind revealed Katie was unable to attend Princess' celebrations because the event was being filmed for her forthcoming fly-on-the-wall ITV television series - which Katie has been banned from appearing on. In the episode, Katie said: 'Princess is now officially an adult so mummy and Princess can now go out together. If certain people would let her be seen with me.' Sophie said: 'I noticed in her 18th birthday pictures she was wearing the shoes you bought her for Christmas.' 'Oh did she? I love that', said Katie. Katie added: 'Everyone knows she's doing this documentary - and I'm not in it. Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me.' Her sister said: 'You aren't on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that's why. Katie added: 'It's pathetic. I'm her mother. It's so sad. When certain people who used to look after me are now looking after...' Her sister Sophie then urged Katie to 'save it for another day.' Katie was allegedly referring to her old PR team, who now manage her ex husband Peter, 52, and their children Junior and Princess.
