The 3rd of December 2011 marks the day that Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito meet each other in the ring of Madison Square Garden in New York for the Boxing Super Welterweight WBA World Championship match. The two great fighters have met in the ring before and boxing fans the world over are waiting in eager anticipation to see what this fight will bring. If you have been able to buy tickets and are a resident of Poland, you may be wondering how to get to New York in time for the match, expecially with Pavel Wolak fighting in the first bout of the main card.
It is possible to fly from Warsaw to New York, but there are only four flights a week available and the days vary. The times however are set, and LOT Airways offers flights at the following times:
- 12.35pm
- 12.50pm
- 16.45pm
The flight takes around 10 hours, which is a considerable amount of time, of course. You also need to be aware that there is a significant time difference, which is something that you will need be mindful of to avoid suffering from jetlag.
Since it is unlikely that you will be able to fly to New York for the fight and fly back the very next day, you may want to consider spending a little bit of time in New York itself. It isn’t called the city that never sleeps for nothing and there is something to suit all tastes available in New York. Whether you are looking for great nightlife, fantastic food, great shopping, beautiful nature or history, New York has it all.
So, if you are flying from Poland to New York to witness this amazing fight and also cheer for Pavel Wolak, try to find yourself a nice hotel in New York whilst you’re there and turn the whole experience into a holiday to remember for the rest of your life. If you can’t make it to the states there is always the possibility to watch Cotto vs Margarito live online!
