Boxing fans can fly from Leeds Bradford Airport with Jet2holidays to watch Joe Calzaghe defend his WBO and WBA titles in New York City. On November 6th, the Yorkshire airport will be offering a direct flight service for the eagerly awaited super middleweight bout on November 8th.

Jet2holidays is exclusively offering the only direct flights between New York and the North of England. Providing a convenient and cost-effective way of getting to the fight, the tour operator will also be offering a competitive accommodation package when demand will be high.

Marketing Director of Jet2holidays.com, Richard Bodin, said "Madison Square Garden is the ultimate boxing venue and one that many sports fans dream of visiting.  The Calzaghe fight is sure to generate a massive amount of interest with the fight tickets selling out fast."

“We want to ensure that anyone travelling to watch the fight from the North can secure flights and accommodation early to avoid the frustration of finding everywhere fully booked nearer the time.”

Jet2holidays.com's Leeds to Newark package is currently available from £699pp and includes three nights' accommodation, flights and all taxes and charges.

Park at the Leeds Bradford Airport Car Watch for eight days from only £43.50*
