Fans can purchase pay-per-view tickets for the heavyweight fight between Anthony Joshua & Oleksandr Usyk, September 25, at a price of $9.99
However, they will need to pay PS24.95 to be able to watch the WBA, IBF and WBO champs in action. This has not been well received on social media.
Joshua was beaten once in his professional career.
Michael Benson, talkSPORT's online boxing editor, confirmed the fee via Twitter: "Now officially confirmed that Sky UK PPV prices for Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Uzyk on September 25th are PS24.95."
Fans reacted furiously to the news, flooding Sky's tweet with angry responses.
One stated that the AJ PPV cost only PS24.95 as fans were not allowed in venues. It'll be their last AJ PPV, but it's a disgrace from the sky.
Another, more sarcastic reply was: "Great news, PS0!"
One fan thought the humor was funny, however: "Price for a half decent take-out ...."
Fans are particularly upset by the fact that the undercard to the main event is not particularly stacked.

Joshua and Usyk will face off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next weekend after AJ's fight against Tyson Fury was cancelled on August 14.
After an arbitrator judge had ordered the Gypsy King to fight Deontay wilder in an epic trilogy fight, that's what happened.
Joshua insists that Fury's fight with him will continue, and that the fight will take place in Britain.
AJ has not fought since December 2020 when he beat Kubrat Pulev, but he has admitted that he is 'tired" ahead of his clash against the Ukranian Usyk.
Joshua, a Watford native, has been staying in Sheffield for the duration his training camp. He will be fighting next week and will spend more time at the gym with Rob McCracken.
He joked that he will disappear from the planet Earth after his 31-year-old career ends.
