“I didn’t place a bet on it because the odds were not worth it.”

His dad, Lenny Harvey said:“I’ve been to Cardiff a long time ago,” the 45-year-old electricia­n said.

“When I was last here they were building the stadium.

“We went to Wembley for the Klitschko fight as well. I’m a big boxing fan, it’s the atmosphere.”

Pipe fitter Scott Purcell was having “a great day”.

“It’s been cracking,” the 38-year-old from Stoke on Trent said.

“I’m down for the boxing and stopping in Newport. Joshua is not the finished article but he’s still mustard.”

Ex-firemen Steve Skivens and John Archer, from Caerphilly and Abergavenn­y, thought the event was good for the city.

“It’s a fantastic Steve, 60.

“We’ve got a tremendous venue in Cardiff. We’ve had the rugby and football. “Now let’s have the boxing.” Nick Newman is manager of the Philharmon­ic on Cardiff’s St Mary spectacle,” said
