[Applause] Wall Street memes Casino I’m fine and sports book this is cougan Casas forl TV I’m joined by footballer what footballer Target man Talisman Striker Eddie Hearn sorry you know what I will say one thing yeah I only watched it really to see you not even Bell you and go I watched it to see if you’ve actually got technique and you know what in the little moments you had you could tell you actually now to play a little bit I know what I’m doing I I know what I need to do is just actually doing it um I felt a bit offended because when I came into the office a few people from the office went they got tickets and um they were like when you come on we just couldn’t stop laughing honestly the whole time you’re on the pitch we were in hysterics and I was like what and we filmed the whole thing look at this and I was like oh so it was a joke was it but I in my mind I knew what I was doing I know how to hold the ball up give it to Theo I mean obviously when I came on 3-2 very tight game within 10 minutes I’d already got it to 52 do you know what I mean so um I didn’t really touch the ball that much though but when you did you could tell that you kind of half knew what you were doing listen the Mind knows but the body can’t it was just the most brilliant experience I got to say like I nearly didn’t do it because it was a free weekend where we didn’t have a show so I just thought it’s quite a big commitment cuz you go there th Thursday morning and obviously you’re there till Sunday um but I’m so happy that I did it CU it was just an incredible event and and it’s only when you’re there you realize how actually you know the people that there’s a lot of repeat players and actually the passion they have for Unicef and the calls because I knew it was for charity but also at the same time I’m not like just I know I’m a bluffer but I’m Al not that much of life to say I knew I was helping for charity but I was also thinking would I enjoy it what would I make an idiot out myself but when you get there and you meet the UNICEF people and you actually start watching the videos and then when you see them raise over 15 million at the end it’s pretty amazing to be part of but yeah just the whole experience um it was funny on the day because we trained Thursday Friday Saturday and it’s pretty I don’t do that kind of training ever darting around there and you know stop start stop start and on one of the days I went in for a tackle and I hurt my foot and also whenever I do explosive stuff I always have tear my Cal or have a cal problem and I got through the whole week there physios there ice spaths and everything and on Match day I was like I can’t believe it like I had a little knock on my foot but my Cal is great I can’t wait and then put all my gear on so excited like ran out to do the warm up as I ran out on the pitch ping my calf went like in here I thought oh and everyone was coming up to me going hey feeling I was like yeah great thinking I can’t believe it and then we were doing shots from just outside the 18 yard box and these balls are so hard as well I don’t want to sound like a like a bit of a pansy but and the the new boots like there’s no it’s just like paper anyway one’s come across I’ve kicked one and my foot just fell like he exploded and I’m like I broken my foot and Sam Thompson come up to me by the way is one of the funniest BLS I’ve ever met and he’s like how you feeling mate how you feeling mate I went I think I’ve broken my foot he went how I went just kicked a ball and he was like so when I went out there I was actually in agony but it’s such a buzz that at the time you don’t really feel anything and after I could hardly walk but it’s what US Warriors do mate and um yeah it was it was one of the best experiences of my life honestly just the the the people I met you know some people I knew so so many new people that I met so many fascinating characters like so many to list Tom Heston what a great guy Tom grenan same birthday as me Sam Thompson probably one of the like Mo like best energy to be around moof far I know you know so many people David James I got to say he one of the funniest BLS I’ve ever met just he well out there but he’s hilarious super intelligent and obviously Frank Lampard I’ve known for a long time Jermaine defo Theo w got like Gary kale lovely bloke Jack W like Joe Cole you know just so many good people and it was it was amazing experience actually I felt like being on that there on the Thursday and I was trying to work out where you ranked amongst like order of celebrity in terms of well known yeah well known and you know what I couldn’t really work out is quite difficult to gauge but everyone was excited that you were there for some reason not even B you people going oh he’s doing itn’s doing it um but we I mean would you say you was in the top 10 of those people that were across two squads I mean it’s a very young demographic at the game and I find it I I know people probably don’t believe me but I do find it quite weird that you would even call me a celeb like I’m not a celeb I’m a meme but this is what I do I’m a I’m a entrepreneur I’m a businessman so the Celeb thing like you know when we’re walking out in our suits before the game and like waving to all the crowd I it’s an amazing thing but I do feel a little bit uncomfortable because I’m sort of thinking do you reckon they’re going who is that because there a lot of kids there so some people get massive cheers like I don’t know um we were saying about Simon Mina yeah mini Mina Mina massive like everybody knew he was even um another lovely brat Billy you know the F2 guy lovely guy um they were going mad for him like the kids so yeah I don’t how well known am I in that group of people don’t know middle middle bottom or something um Alex Brooker as well a ious great guy was you concerned that somebody was going to kind of make an example of you on the pitch CL yeah like CL not B you he was in go that was unlikely to happen but just somebody like take you out or something not really when you go on and there’s 50,000 people whatever it was and you like so at half time lamps goes to me 5 minutes you’ll be on all right this is in a change room and I’m like like he and then I’m warming up and he goes Eddie and I’m like go over take the top off it’s like standing on the sideline they go substitution number 12 Eddie H light and you go on and you’re like I can’t explain it it’s like and I I love doing things that are outside of my comfort zone you know what I mean like if you just do the things that you’re good at you will never actually evolve and improve in even in in what you’re doing do you know what I’m saying so if I just did press conferences all the time and did this it’s like I this is this is bread and butter to me it’s so easy press conference is so easy get up there and talk in front of thousands of people selling a show but going out and playing football in front of millions of people on TV and 50,000 in a stadium that’s really uncomfortable for me and I want to get that that kind of feeling in my life where I am nervous I am a little bit scared and that that feeling like you know I went on there and I turn around just to sort of see where everybody was and it was Michael essan Patrice Evra and Usain Bol behind me and I was thinking one Evra was clattering everybody right two Essen is just a beast and you saying B I mean God knows what he’s going to do and um obviously split them all into you know not one in there and you know but it like I went up for a header with Michael essian the keeper knocked it out and he was coming to me right on me anyway I’ve gone to jump he’s had both hands on my shoulders there’s a picture of it I show he’s about a foot higher than me in the air and he’s about a foot smaller than me as well and the one thing that I learned so much about it is how good these players are like when you’re in I didn’t even know what Ronda was do you know what a Ronda is it’s in the practice so it’s like basically like one touch in a square and you got two in the middle closing you down and they’re just like ping ping ping ping Theo Walcott Jermaine defo Gary Cahill machines absolute machines and you know what the most impressive thing of of all the goalkeepers mate they even David James he’s 53 seeing him go down get up ping one around the corner bellu done well to me to be fair paty mcginness did really well as well I’ve got to say when I was watching bellu on the training camp like they’re pinging him at him from like Eden Hazard um Evra like all and he’s pinging him around the corner he was he got right involved he did Bel you he’s actually not bad it’s a horrible position to play in a game like that in goal um yeah so just had just had a brilliant time brilliant time and I said to the guys at soccer probably the best run event I’ve ever been a part of and I shouldn’t really say that because we do a lot of them but incredible and um yeah back to the day job Steven Bart was I was quite surprised came on scored within a couple of minutes yeah he had a hamstring injury last year and he’s very careful during the whole Camp he came on with me um and he was rapid great finish yeah he’s he takes it super seriously he’s like he’s a he’s a preparation man you know like everything’s absolutely spot on with his sleep and his rest and all that kind of stuff but he’s another great guy and um yeah I just honestly had an amazing time amazing time where where does the trophy go who gets that not sure we all got a medal which was very nice have you got yours no I gave it to my daughter yeah but no one actually keeps the trophy the c or it’s quite funny because I actually felt that Frank Lampard and Harry but more Frank he seemed quite ner like not nervous but like really s like you know a change room it wasn’t like oh this is going to be hilarious Lads oh what it was like I can’t tell you how serious he was right we’re going to get in there Frank you know this is the lineup and AR’s there right what are you doing [ __ ] know yeah we’re England this what it was like we’re England we don’t [ __ ] about I was like yes yes everyone’s on their feet so it was um yeah oh I had such an amazing time honestly and like now after there’s a WhatsApp group for the England team and everyone’s just putting in the most like amazing messages about their experience and um you know what what it meant to everybody the whole experience um did you momentarily forget about Saudi Arabia while you was on that I mean you got bad yeah yeah I I would I would um the days where I was training it’s quite intense and it what was also amazing was I didn’t take my mobile phone on the trip but like whilst I was training or whilst we were doing stuff I would leave my phone for like 2 hours at a time I haven’t done that God don’t know apart from when I’m asleep for 10 years it was good it was good to switch off a little bit I mean it was like it was was hard work but physically it was challenging but it was nice to actually just switch off a little bit and just do something different just challenge myself in a different kind of way and I’d like to do more actually not just soccer raid but don’t know I’d like to do more stuff like that I’d like to try and get out and help UNICEF if I can they showed a lot of videos about a lot of the players that went out and I feel like once you experience it you have much more of a passion for the calls you know so yeah yeah anyway back to yeah back to the day job but no it was good to get an Insight of a what would have been an interesting week so what was the first thing you’ve done when you got back on Monday what did you do like well last night I mean well I was still working the whole time but just mainly at night in the room and um yesterday just busy busy really I mean firstly we’re in Puerto Rico this week for the first time in our history subriel Mattias against Liam parro great fight huge crowd out there so heading off there tomorrow um what else have we been doing we’ve been [Music] um sorting the boots replacement Jon Enis which what’s the time now it is 1:20 so at 2 p.m we would announce that boots Andis is fighting David aanan in Philadelphia is the replacement which is a tremendous fight it’s a tougher fight interesting yeah tougher fight than Cody Crawley but a good fight nevertheless um so that was that and then last night just on the phone to um his Excellency George Warren Dr Ron Spencer and everyone just really gearing up for for Wembley finalizing everything for there the cards talking through everything gearing up for the press conference upcoming next week we’re in Birmingham for a great show then we’re back in Phoenix for bam against Sunny then we’re back at the Copper Bosch for Johnny Fisher then we’re back to Philadelphia so it’s just absolutely non-stop really and also trying to lock in there’ll be a big UK show in August as well prior to Wembley another one at the end of uh September and yeah just busy busy mate really let’s talk about September I mean there’s a lot of rumors now circulating about a potential fights on the card I know you’re not going to tell me anything but there are rumors of like inua and Balley Clark 2 and it looks to be Eubank shz um are you going to make any comment on potential fights on that card I think that firstly it’s a rad season show so I will let his Excellency announce all the fights um some of the fights you mentioned there are have been discussed some of them aren’t happening I mean I don’t think he’ll mind me saying that Inu way is not fighting at Wembley um but you know the plan would definitely be to see him in a rad season event somewhere um and then the other fights will be announced at the the press conference on 26th of June the card will be spectacular like you’ve never seen before um you know and we also have to finalize AJ’s fight as well you know I know a lot of people are talking about the Daniel du fight obviously we have to see what sits with the ibf lots of other things as well but obviously it’s Our intention AJ headlin Z card um at Wembley Stadium and um if we can get it for the ibf world title and if it can be against du and an all British Clash be absolutely huge so this week is just about finalizing that as well and the entire undercard obviously you’ve got August 3rd coming up in Los Angeles which will go on sale very soon um um random fight been that card with Jared Anderson and Martin mlei i’ got to be honest with you like big respect to Jared Anderson that is if Martin boli is in shape in that fight that is a very tough fight for Jared Anderson I actually was shocked that he took that fight so he’s obviously his team and everyone believe in him because as well boli is not the biggest name in the world you know one of his problems is he’s really good but he doesn’t have profile to make it worthwhile beating him so well done Jared Anderson I mean if you win that fight you’re a serious heavyweight um it’s just an amazing card all around you know you got Pitbull Cruz you got Andy Ruiz against Gerald Miller you got David Morell you got Andy Cruz so yeah that’s a massive night and you got Eminem as well which is wild um but yeah just all the cards getting built now and then I I guess eventually it’ll move back round to bivol bet October 12th and building that card out as well just coming back to AJ um how many realistic options are there for AJ to Fight On That September card I mean you got Zill Zen you got Joseph Parker you know I think dwi’s the fight you know I think that’s the fight that makes sense another Brit but at the same time obviously we we have our agreements in place with with um Celler and his Excellency and you know we want to see how the fights look what titles are on the line what opportunities present itself after um and we’re all full steam ahead to to obviously get that done in preparation for the announcement on June 26 in any of the talks for any of these re season cards has Deontay Wilder been mentioned because his situation isn’t clear in terms of what he’s going to do from himself but has his name been mentioned on any of these potential upcoming cards no I mean when he boxed Zang I think that his Excellency was excited by the potential opportunity if Wilder was to win that fight for him to come back and fight anony Joshua obviously having been knocked out he won’t be ready for August 3rd I don’t think September and I don’t know what he’s going to do you know um he’s got to make a decision about his future it’s not my my input my decision but no plans for him at the moment to fight on any of those upcoming cards but who knows you know if he does return to box him you know he’s still a name but he he’s not at the he’s not been able to perform at that Elite level and by Elite level I’m talking top five top 10 heavyweights he’s been beaten twice you know last time quite convincingly both times quite convincingly but the last one was a knockout so he’s going to have to drop a level down to be competitive or to rebuild and I’m I don’t I have no idea but I don’t think he’ll want to do that the card on October 12th when I asked you the other day will you have any Fighters and obviously you’ve got bivel but will you have some of your other Fighters featuring on the October 12th card every every card that gets built yeah myself his Excellency Spencer George we all sit down and he will say what fight do you recommend what fights do you guys have or other you speak to other people and say what do you have for this card to propose some fights to me and he will go through the cards and he will make the final decision on every single fight and he knows what he’s talking about I mean it’s not just doesn’t just randomly go oh that one that one he will say to me no that’s not good enough no that’s not good enough oh I like that one but I don’t like the opponent work on another opponent you what I mean and then eventually and then sometimes we might have four fights on a card or we might have one fight on a card it’s just complete not luck but just where we all propose fights and he builds the cards and you know obviously his passion for doing that and the way that he does it and the depth that he does it he knows what he’s talking about and you know that’s why as I said sometimes you’ll have three fights on a card sometimes you have one just depends on what what he believes are the best fights for the card but either way on June the 2 6th at that press conference everything will be revealed yeah correct going to be it’s going to be amazing I mean if things go the way that we’re all planning at the moment it’ll be the best card the country’s ever seen and one of the biggest nights the country’s ever seen so yeah it’s um I’m excited as well for for his Excellency because you know the whole about atmosphere and I find it really weird to be honest with you like even boxing is just such a strange space only actually like when you move out of that space and start working in other areas you realize how strange people are in boxing you know I talk to you about the haha Merchants right it’s like it’s really weird that we just can’t all champion each other and just I don’t know it’s got to be like well yeah that’s a joke well that’s a joke that is and why are they doing that and ha like that you know it’s like rather than what a time for boxing right now like the fighters are just being presented with the most incredible opportunities there’s more broadcasters in sport in the sport and more interested in the sport than ever before we’re seeing ticket sales and interest even in shows in the UK picking up through what’s happening in boxing globally and particularly on our time zone through the Saudi Arabian events so yeah I just think it’s such a great time for the sport you know do you think people the ones that are commenting about the atmosphere the ones that actually are not there they’re the ones doing it from home but the whole the whole you know the whole oh well you know we talk about KL you know and KL Carl has so many great attributes as a person I mean like he’s one of the great Fighters he’s one of the most strong-minded tough men but he’s also he you know if he’s not part of a team or a move you know he he’s not afraid to speak his mind but sometimes he doubles down on stuff that you might not really need to double down on like when when we talk about atmosphere and when he says about yeah but people say the atmosphere is great because they’re on the payroll no but we’ve been there the atmosphere for Fury usk was really good you were there right toally agree no one’s lying about that the atmosphere for the 5 V5 was good it was nowhere near as good as fury usk because guess what it was two weeks after Fury usk and they’ only sold I don’t know five or 6,000 tickets versus 20,000 or or was whatever was in there but I think Honesty is the best policy look you’re not going to get a British atmosphere in Saudi Arabia you can still have a great at atmosphere but in Britain we like to go out we like to have a sing song we like to drink five8 10 pints right grab each other link arms and have a good sing song to Sweet Caroline while we’ve had a few there is no alcohol in Saudi Arabia people aren’t really mentioning this and for me as an individual that ain’t a bad thing but if you want a a rockus but without it’s not going to happen now you can still have a a fantastic atmosphere that’s energized through great Sport and a great event but I don’t know what people aren’t people should be saying more like the atmosphere is not as good as England correct it may never be also understand this it’s a brand new market do you actually think that you can just go into a new country educate an audience about the sport and expect them to have the same enthusiasm the same Vigor the same passion after a year or two years no boxing’s been around in Britain for years and years we understand the sport we understand the narratives we follow we digest we argue we debate and we’re passionate about the sport in Saudi Arabia it’s brand new right so I I don’t I don’t who cares the if the atmosphere is not quite as good as the UK or not so what you’re getting amazing fights all the top fights happening that we’ve wanted for so long you’re seeing regular fights you’re seeing massive opportunities for fighters fighters changing their life it’s 2 hours in front of us we it’s Prime Time For Us here right but we’re picking things like little bits and okay the atmosphere is not as good yeah well the production and staging is much better agree right I mean because of the money that’s being spent the fights are much better agreed agreed so sorry the atmosphere is not quite as good but the prod like what would you oh the atmosphere is great but the fights aren’t very good [ __ ] joke oh all they care about is the atmosphere but the fights aren’t very good the fights are amazing but the atmosphere is not quite as good yeah well the atmosphere is [ __ ] it’s like you can’t win so the fact that that’s what this the original point the fact that his Excellency is bringing a fight like this to London through listening to the fight fans and I’m excited for him to see Wembley because it’s going to blow his mind do you know what I mean because he’s and again the whole thing about oh well they would say that because with all due respect I like my company to do well I like to make money I’m not a yes man if I weren’t enjoying what I’m doing I really wouldn’t do it I’m having the best time of my career so far working in Saudi with his Excellency with Queensbury with Spencer with all like as a community in boxing making unbelievable nights unbelievable fights and delivering from our Firs and making money for matum this is the best feeling I’ve had and I wouldn’t say to you he’s such a laugh he’s got so much energy if it wasn’t true I’m in I’m loving doing business with him and not even on a financial level that comes with it fantastic it is brilliant brilliant and I’m up all night on the phone to them all night 1:00 in the morning 3:00 in the morning 4:00 in the morning get on a zoom do this do that but I don’t mind because I’m loving it you know and I just hate the whole there weird boxing is just weird really weird you know just got we just got to be happy you know you can’t please everyone Edward you should know that I just think that life’s too short like does it really matter that’s sometimes you got to R yourself does it really matter don’t argue don’t moan just get out there have a smile on your face live every day and look at the good things not the bad things half glass full do you know what I mean w get an amazing fight yeah the atmosphere is not as good [ __ ] H is it like you say just go yeah why don’t we just say this the atmosphere is obviously not quite as good as it’s going to be in England because you know everyone’s having a few beers and enjoying themselves but wow the fights and the staging incredible so but in Wembley you get both there you go you get both you get an amazing atmosphere 80,000 people exactly okay um Oscar De La Hoya has made another video was that the one where he was with a wine looked like malbeck I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know what it was like Mal but the one where he says about Canelo yeah yeah as we said boxing’s very weird I think right what do I think that people are stealing from Canelo by the way on his team is someone going to look after Ryan garia right number one because that story ain’t going to end well if someone don’t grab old Li and look after him number one number two yeah the thing with Canelo like whatever what do you even want me to say I mean I just you got to get these demons out of your head you know you can’t carry negativity and bad energy inside you know what I mean like because I don’t know if you’re just thinking about what Canelo said and yeah well ha yeah yeah you see him like he’s like see how excited he gets when he’s like yeah it’s like mate just you’re a Hall of Fame but you’re one of the greatest fighters of all time right you got you know Golden Boy you got these shows I mean look at where he’s sitting see that house overlooking the whole whatever it was I don’t know Vegas or La where he’s living he got the fire going he got the nice glass of wine but inside is the anger and the sadness you know what I mean it’s like just let it go like you just if he could just go listen mate Canelo I know we had we had a falling out but honestly mate I hope I wish you all the best you’re a great fire I hope you’re happy I hope life plays out for you sweet mate good luck to you maybe this is just maybe I’m just you know the whole Queensbury thing maybe it’s just made me realize that but that was really when I look back you know at the time I wasn’t really thinking oh the aggravation but I’ve noticed now that aggravation is gone it hasn’t made me less competitive by the way I it’s made your videos a little bit more boring but it’s just such a better place to be in your life when you just like like you imagine me me going right film a video right get sit in now yeah and then doing a video like that and then posting it and going haha yeah see how they like that like you know that’s how I feel about it like you’re not going to get Canelo do you honestly think the the only time Canelo will ever think about Oscar De La Hoya is when he’s asked the questions or when like was quite unique when they were in that last fight right so that a press conference next to each other do you honestly think that that Canelo Alvarez wakes up in the morning right drives his laf ferraria to the ice bar or whatever it is does that trains go to the gym goes and have 18 holds a golf comes back I don’t know picks his daughter up from school comes back as do you think he’s he’s actually in his head is [ __ ] Oscar de could do a video about Oscar de like and look at how Oscar behaves on social media towards me I don’t even know Thea why would you even have an opinion on me I’m so I mean I’m you know I’m I’m really irrelevant to his life really I mean he’s got his life he’s not going to ever be live with me as a promoter but as a fighter he was unbelievable I I could never achieve what he’s achieved why would you worry about me some fat GE are from England like just having a crack and a go but I don’t know imagine the anger towards me and that’s that’s dangerous you just got to chill out Oscar look after your Fighters get someone get older if it’s not you speak to someone around him get hold of this Ryan Garcia and deal with this situation you know and that you know I don’t know but and that’s nothing to do with a V or anything like that you know comments on social media from I don’t read it I used to feel like I’m a little bit out of touch what’s happened now no I was going to say about hany and Garcia’s comments which you would have seen on X about payments Etc yeah I mean look Golden Boy aren’t not going to pay the fighters done Zone aren’t not I mean it’s golden boy’s responsibility what would have happened is probably both Fighters particularly Ryan Garcia will think that this fight has done 800 or a million buyers it’s done nowhere near that and they’ve received their payment their minimum payment with an upside that probably doesn’t exist that’s probably the situation you know gold like I said Golden Boy are not going to just go Miss and not pay the fighters I’m sure they’ve met their obligations in terms of the the first payments and then there’ll be incremental payments based on the success of the pay-per-view which will be nowhere near what Ryan Garcia particularly and Devin but I’ve spoken to Devon I know he understands the expectations not my show nothing to do with me not contracted with any Fighters you know they put that thing out everyone’s atting me Eddie when are you going to P nothing but my show mate don’t don’t [ __ ] get me involved but certain people will lie to Fighters certain people will tell Fighters has done really well yeah has done this many buyers yet don’t worry you’re going to make this much you’re going to make this much and the reality is they’re not going to make anywhere near what they expected to make and that is the problem and they are going to go [ __ ] mental when they realize that and and Golden Boy will have to deal with that as well moving on Conor Ben what’s happening with Conor Ben it’s all gone pretty quiet um can you tell us anything about his situation that there’s an ongoing conversations with it’s now Connor and ukad right so those guys are in communication I’m not sure where they’re up to um I’m due to catch up with them this week um it’s now two years since the test so you would hope that the end is near but I’ve said that before and and hope for an update soon but you know sooner or later we’re going to I think have an actual date where we know for a fact that he can fight and that’ll be nice because we can just plan a show a fight and hope that the end is near there was um the video that surfaced uh yesterday or early hours of the morning of of Tyson Fury I mean clearly obviously out on the night out people do what they like to do is just blow it out proportion and um yeah I’m I’m sure you saw the video I mean everyone’s going a bit over the top of it yeah I mean firstly you can’t unfortunately if you’re in a certain position everyone’s going to film you on a night out and everyone’s going to try and use that footage to make money or what get views or whatever they’re going to do there’s a couple of ways to look at it number one is just just a normal bloke what is he 34 33 32 who has been training for the last 16 weeks and now he’s not training and he’s gone out he’s had too many drinks and we’ve all done it the other way to look at it is unfortunately in his position you just can’t do it right doesn’t mean what he’s done is what’s he done he’s goinge and got drunk so what you mean he can’t do it no what I’m saying to you is unfort it doesn’t mean you can’t do it but unfortunately in in if you have that place in even Society but that kind of profile obviously if that was you or worse or someone that no no one would even mention it they would if it was you but you can’t what I’m saying is it’s not that you can’t it’s like the reality is is if you behave like that in public the repercussions are going to be put out there if you were just some Joe BL right but at the same time the reality is we don’t know if he’s struggling we don’t know if it was a oneoff we don’t know if it’s been happening like but he’s got people around him that will that will help him all and I’m sure he just went out for a night out and had won too many you probably find he’s a bit of a lightweight because most athletes are do you know what I mean I know Fighters have two or three points of Guinness Gonzo but you know he’s human isn’t he so my my thoughts are that is listen he’s been training for a long time he’s gone out he’s probably had one too many and it is what it is it definitely is what it is um when I asked you last week about what you think about what will happen on December 21st there a long time to go till December 21st I’m sure you’ll probably amanar is time goes on but at the moment you’re you’re kind of seeing no way past um a second usk win not really I mean I had it won won two points to usyk so it’s a super class close fight and you don’t know what it took out of both people what I mean when usyk walked back to the Chang room he was being carried up like held up um but also the prep I know that it’s only a video in a pub but you know that usyk ain’t doing that do you know what I mean so hopefully Tyson can do the business but it’s going to be tough like when when you get beat by usk it’s just hard to win that rematch but yeah it was a very close fight um there’s so much that happened before then I just see this come up on my phone promoter Ben Shalom looks to have done an interview with um seconds out uh saying that the wle clar rematch could now take part as part of the Joshua rad season card on September 21st so yeah I’m assuming Ben shalom’s come out and said that there possibility that goes on there so that was obviously one of the fights that is being discussed I’m not sure yeah it has been discussed um and we’ve looked at that fight whether it will happen or not we’ have to see that’ll be one for the announcement on the 26th but it’s a good fight um there’s probably I don’t know eight fights being discussed for four slots so yeah that that would be a good one but not sure what you think about Pacquiao potentially fighting uh baros yeah I mean we want the baros fight for boots you know or Connor um but isn’t he fighting an exhibition coming up or something in June in Japan or something so I still I think some people are a little bit harsh on Pacquiao like he like it’s such an easy fight he’s nowhere near the fighter that he was but he can still fight but yeah maybe the exhibitions will be best so you’ve sent an offer for Jack catell to fight Arnold Barbosa um yeah any word back from that yeah we’re speaking to um Golden Boy Frank Smith and Eric Gomez sort of talking it through with the Zone August 24th is a potential date for that fight we’ve got the new co-op Arena held in Manchester which would be amazing to go there and try that one out good fight baroa good fighter plenty to say for himself and Jack wants to keep busy you know obviously wants to fight for a world title that’s not possible right now so we wanted to put him in a really good fight um good fight for our us subscribers good fight for the UK and we’ll see if we can get over the line if Fury doesn’t beat usk would you why do you say usk usk usk usk usek usk no no no all right all right when you go usk usk it’s like no they’re not the same thing I mean it’s like you go yeah usk usk no no it’s the first one usk there you [ __ ] hell mate um if tyon doesn’t be usk would you categorically say that we do not see AJ Fury at all no I think we will despite what happens in Riad on December 21st be up to Tyson Fury you know I saw an article the other day someone said Eddie Hearn I Benson Maps out the road map for you know not I’m not mapping it out I’m just telling you what I would like to happen and you know when I’ve had discussion with his Excellency AJ’s going to fight in September if he wins that obviously he’s going to want to fight the winner of usyk Fury for Undisputed now win or lose for Fury AJ can still fight Fury in a massive fight but a lot of it’s going to be down to Tyson and how long he wants to go for because he’s still quite young but does he want to fight does he if he gets beat to usyk does he want to jack it in does he want to come back and Fury we’re all right we know we’re carrying on certainly next year and see what happens Beyond so we we want a plan we don’t like having one fight and no plan so we’re already talking about what is next should we come through with victory in September AJ Fury is the biggest fight in boxing correct what is the second biggest fight in boxing I think that’s a very difficult question AJ usk if he wins in September Canelo Crawford Canelo Crawford Canelo Benavides big fight boots Crawford once we get going with boots um Ryan Garcia when he comes back I don’t know me’s a big name Ryan Garcia javante Davis rematch wasn’t over compet competitive but depends if they get their weight right yeah no no we’re done Edward thank you very much for your time enjoy your time in Puerto Rico tuning in on the Zone this Saturday correct and then Birmingham next week that should be quite a little bit of a lively show birming be a great card and then back to Phoenix that’s a great card as well in Phoenix bam against Rodriguez SNY Edwards in a tough fight against curiel R Ali for the world title but Birmingham those two top fights there Tyler Denny against Felix cash great fight Connor Walker against LS Crocker that is going to be such a massive fight for both so see you there live on the zone as always take care of yourself people remember just keep smiling Romans 88:18 the pain of what you’re are feeling is nothing compared to the joy that he coming see you soon thank you very much [Applause] Wall Street memes Casino I’m fine and sports book

I'd rather have no atmosphere than fury vs chisora 4
Izzy Asif taking over Dazone. Game changed
Does the atmosphere really matter unless you are there? 🤣
Hate these British channels be having a hour interview and you gotta look 4 the part u want to hear 🤦🏻♂️
Eddie the best promoter doing it
You guys need to stop with these super long interviews or have a shorter version available alongside the long one. Threes no way people are watching these crazy long videos.
Forget Hearn vrs Warren rivalry, forget aj vrs tyson rivalry, the fights we are getting are epic, embrace this moment in boxing
I agree with Eddie on a couple of things here..first off, alcohol is a definite factor when it comes to the atmosphere in the UK,and not in a good way sometimes.
Secondly,I much prefer what time the fights are on in the UK when the events are in Saudi.
Why do people who constantly slate Hearn continue to watch his videos? ..some weird folk out there lol.
Can I ask why everyone cares about timestamps?? I don’t give a shit about it
Bam against sunny? 😢 Sunny already lost that one
Wilder Vs Whyte would be a fantastic fight on one of the Riyad cards
Happy doing business with a Trillionaire shock 😊
Kugan loves 'Going in' on Eddie
30:00
it is great what the saudis are doing for boxing, making big fights, nobody disputes that but they have shit laws that are so outdated. and anybody that remotely defends it is on the payroll. put it this way, if vegas come up and matched any offer the saudis do for particular fights there is no question where the fight would go, its purely for the money no other reason, as someone watching on ppv it did feel like a good atmosphere for the undisputed fight. but for the 5v5 is was awful, they all sitting about watching the fights like they were watching snooker.
Thanks for posting.
Old Eddie maguire 😂
Hahaha Eddie the money talks to u all night cha ching😂
All I got from Eddie here is that the atmosphere in Saudi is crap.
Joshua vs wilder was a fight I always wanted to see back in 2018 but now I know it’s over & never happening. 🙁
Boots take aveneseyan but Conor won’t lol
Eddie you are the one who does all the Moaning we are quite happy I'm happy to be able to watch good fights on TV
