The worst position of Eddie Hearn he has ever created
Published
11 months agoon
Eddie Hearn criticizes the chin and is one of the most witty boxing promoters. Even he would admit that he was sometimes wrong.
However, there is a solid interview that stands out in the last few years, which must be the worst forecast that the match boss has ever made.
Some could forgive Hearn that for two reasons he was a little looked at the reports of Tyson Fury of Deontay Wilder in 2018.
First of all, Fury disregarded a man from Essex, even though he was flying to Monte Carlo for talks a year earlier. Fury weighed almost 400 pounds when he traveled to see how aged friend Derek Chisora fought Agit Kabayel at the de monte carlo Salle Medecin casino in November 2017.
Fury talked to Hearn about the signing of the contract with Matchroom for a return. The way Hearn spoke about was convinced of “The Gypsy King” would sign a lucrative three -time contract, which was on the table with an option much longer.
After returning to England, Fury signed a contract with Frank Warren a few weeks later, leaving Hearn.
Then the Londonian focused on the master of two stripes of Anthony Joshua vs, the ruler of WBO Joseph Parker Unification, a month later in Cardiff. When Joshua won and held three versions of the heavyweight title, from Watford received a tempting offer.
When World Boxing News intensively documented in combination with his manager, Shelly Finkel, Deontay Wilder offered Joshua $ 50 million to fight him in Showtime for all four title belts.
Wilder then held the WBC crown and asked Finke to go to fight at the end of 2018. “Bomber bomber” had a blessing of Showtime to offer the money they planned to put in Escrow if Joshua agreed to the contract.
But after three months of racing, bending back and denying, Joshua instead turned to his mandatory pretender Alexander Povetkin, who WBA said that WBN would be willing to wait until the unquestioned battle with Wilder.
For these two reasons, Hearn left a wave of hostility towards himself and Joshua for not able to secure fury or wild offers. Fury rejects him, and Joshua comes out of Wilder conversations with the reputation after saying in an interview that he is fighting the American by $ 50 million, he did not look good.
From then on, there was a significant turn from Hearn against Fury and Wilder. This drug had to be even more tough to swallow when Fury and Wilder announced that they started talks to face a few weeks later.
Finkel confirmed WBN that Wilder would go to Belfast to witness Fury’s second fight. It was there that the couple aimed to seal the mass battle in Showtime.
Despite several articles from World Boxing News stating that the negotiations are going well to fight, Hearn passed his final fight forecast.
Twelve days after Fury defeated Francesco Paneta at points in Windsor Park and went with Wilder, Hearn still did not buy him.
Asked if he thought that the fight would take place in 2018, Hearn said: “No, certainly not. I think he knew about it, and everyone in boxing knows about it, unless he doesn’t get $ 20 million for this fight.
“I don’t think he is fighting Wilder, to be candid. I know they said it is happening, but there is no date or place and I think that Fury needs one more. He knows it.
“He did unbelievably to return from the place where he was. He deserves a huge amount of appreciation, but he looked very needy in his last fight. He was booed from the ring. He is not a fun warrior to watch.”
About whether Fury had a chance to defeat Wilder, if they shared the ring, Hearn added: “He is awkward and tough, which is not great for people to watch.
“It is effective, as we saw against (Wladimir) Klitschko, so I think that if he can take a fight or two, which has always been his plan.
“He has a very good chance against Wilder and Joshua, but now there is no chance.
“I think he may have something up his sleeve, but I certainly don’t see him get on the ring with Wilder.”

Hearn was wrong in one paragraph, as three weeks later Al Haymon confirmed Wilder vs Fury for December 1 in Showtime Pay-Per-View.
Fury also turned out to be incorrect in his performance when he won a draw with Wilder after getting up from two powdered knocks in the last round.
Wilder and Fury would enjoy the legendary trilogy that will live in memory for a long time, especially in the first and third duels.
In another gloomy note for Hearna, his charge Joshua has still not fought Wilder or Fury for seven years.

Conor Benn beats a clearly injured Regis Prograis for UD in London
Published

April 12, 2026
Conor Benn defeated a clearly injured but stubborn Regis Prograis by unanimous decision after ten bruising rounds at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
The British welterweight earned the verdict on all three scorecards by identical margins of 98-92 after a fierce fight that left Benn with sedate injuries around both eyes and Prograis struggling with what appeared to be a leg injury.
WBN also scored in the 98-92 fight.
Benn started quickly, landing pointed combinations and digging to the body while Prograis struggled to establish his move.
The former world champion looked to be struggling to keep his balance in the opening rounds as he struggled to cope with his injury, and Benn took advantage, charging forward and dictating the pace, doing the cleaner work.
Benn vs. Prograis
Despite the setback, Prograis showed his usual toughness, refusing to give up as the fight turned into a heated exchange at close range.
After the two clashed heads, Benn was injured around both eyes and the Briton struggled to bleed profusely as the fight escalated.
Prograis had moments of success in the middle rounds and even wobbled Benn in the seventh round, but the host continued to respond with sustained pressure and persistent bodywork.
Benn’s aggression and efficiency ultimately separated the two as Prograis continued to attack despite clearly not being 100 percent ready.
After ten demanding rounds, the judges unanimously sided with Benn, whose victory keeps him firmly in the welterweight division after another high-profile performance in London.
“The Destroyer” is now hopeful that Ryan Garcia will win the welterweight title after signing with Zuffa Boxing and leaving promoter Eddie Hearn under a cloud.
Hearn sat at ringside with no emotion, watching Benn win for the first time since their split.

Tim Tszyu continued to rebuild his position in the super welterweight division by defeating previously undefeated Denis Nurja over ten rounds on Saturday night in Wollongong.
Fighting in front of a home crowd at the Wollongong Entertainment Center in Modern South Wales, the former world champion set the pace throughout the match and scored a knockout, securing a unanimous decision victory.

Nurja entered the fight undefeated and tried to apply early pressure, but Tszyu quickly took control with steady combinations and body work that forced the Albanian back.

Tszyu responded moments later with a ponderous left hook that knocked Nurja to the canvas.
Nurja defeated the count, but spent most of the remaining rounds trying to deal with Tszyu’s persistent attack.
A right hand in the sixth round visibly shook the challenger, and frustration ensued in the seventh when the referee informed the judges to deduct one point from Nurja for holding repeatedly.
Tszyu continued to push forward in the closing stages and Nurja lost his balance again in the final seconds of the tenth round before the challenger managed to go the distance.
Following the win, Tszyu turned his attention to potential future opponents at 154 pounds.
“I feel like I’m ready for Errol Spence Jr,” Tszyu said. “I think it would be a hell of a fight. It’s the bomb.”
“I’m not taking a step back. If he’s ready to meet me, then go ahead. I’m going gigantic fishing. Let’s go fishing.”
