York Hall is the home of British boxing, and has been ranked the sixth best boxing venue in the world, alongside Madison Square Gardens and Caesars Palace, making it the best venue outside the United States to see live boxing. Boxing News described York Hall as an “incomparable London boxing venue”.

 

Opened in 1929 by the Duke of York, many of the world's greatest boxers have fought at the venue, which, since its £4.5 million refurbishment ten years ago, has lost none of its appeal or atmosphere.

 

This July, York Hall will be the home of Lucha Libre in London, the venue transformed into an arena with a retro style, transporting the audience to a time when legendary luchadores such as El Santo, Mil Mascaras, Cavernario Galindo, Black Shadow and Gory Guerrero starred in epic live confrontations of Good against Evil.
