Show Notes
Tony Bellew and Charlie Parsons sit down with Eddie Hearn for his biggest interview yet on Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury. Hearn explains why AJ turned down more money to leave the US behind and bring the fight to the UK in front of 80,000 British fans, and lifts the lid on the venue war, potential press conference mind games and why he thinks AJ will beat Fury. Hearn also goes to war on Dana White and Zuffa / TKO, explaining why they have no promotional rights to AJ vs Fury, and how he believes they tried to rob the British public of the fight.
They also discuss whether we will see Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn for a third time. Hearn discusses his recent lunch with Eubank Jr, the hydration clauses that decided Benn vs Eubank 2, what he'd demand at 168lbs, and why a Hearn vs Dana White split promotion would make the trilogy twice as big.
Finally, Eddie gives his real thoughts on Tony and Charlie, the best fight he ever promoted and who he thinks would have won a fight in their prime between Sugar Ray Leonard and Pernell Whitaker. ─────────────────────────────
