A New York Police Department spokesperson told John Annese of the New York Daily News an investigation determined it was a false alarm. No shots were fired inside or outside the arena.
NYPD detective Adam Navarro said there was "no gun whatsoever" and that it's unclear what led spectators to believe there was imminent danger, per ESPN's Mike Coppinger.
Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, confirmed she "made it out ok."
The 24-year-old Japanese sensation suffered a first-round loss to Amanda Anisimova in the French Open last week.
Music superstar Madonna was among the other celebrities in attendance for the boxing card, per TMZ.
The situation occurred amid a time of heightened awareness following two recent mass shootings in the United States.
On Tuesday, a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
That tragedy came less than two weeks after 10 people were killed in a racist attack on a Buffalo grocery store.
It's led to calls for Congress to work on gun-control measures, including an impassioned plea from Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, one of several high-profile members of the sports world to speak out in the wake of the shootings.
