Eddie Hearn – Putting Neymar in the Ring, Why is BOXING Booking Superstar Performers, and Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Season…

We’ve got the main man when it comes to boxing on the Fozcast today! In this episode, we are joined by the guy who puts all of the big boy fights on our screens, it’s Eddie Hearn and it’s fair to say, this one was a belter!

 

Eddie talks to us about what really goes on behind the scenes in the boxing world including how fighters make weight and how they put it all on back on before the fight, how he makes all the big bouts happen and the time where a boxer wanted to take Eddie’s watch to promote a fight…

 

Hearn also chats to us about how Saudi Arabia has transformed boxing for the better by enabling all of the biggest fights to happen across the world! He also discusses how boxing isn’t the only form of entertainment on the night anymore and now superstars across the world join the evening with Eminem, Noel Gallagher, Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo just to name a few…

 

We also touch on his dad and his involvement with Leyton Orient Football Club and we also threw in a few football hypotheticals for Eddie to decide who will win… we had to, alright?

 

Thank you for Eddie for coming on the show! We hope you all enjoyed!
