Fans on social media were left perplexed by Gerrard’s arrival, one joked on Twitter: “One for each decent match he managed.” A second said: “Walking into Blockbusters to return DVDs,” while a third quipped: “Blockbusters are going to charge him a serious late fee.”

After months of build-up and a postponed fight in February, the action proved to be the hottest ticket in town with fellow Saudi Pro League star Neymar arriving alongside fighting royalty Evander Holyfield, Conor McGregor, and Ryan Garcia.
Also appearing to support Usyk were his fellow countryman, former heavyweight world champion Wladimir Klitschko and Ballon d’Or winning striker Andriy Shevchenko.
