Eddie Hearn believes that Zhang’s two defeats ended the performances of the British boxer.
Eddie Hearn spoke about the upcoming fights of his ward, Anthony Joshua. According to a well-known promoter, the former world champion could meet in the ring against the holder of the interim WBO title, Zhang Zhilei.
At the same time, Hearn definitely rejected the idea of fighting Joe Joyce. Moreover, the functionary advised his compatriot to end his professional career.
“A fight between Joshua and Joyce would be simply dangerous. Frankly, Joe shouldn’t be in the ring anymore. He had a great career, he should have been an Olympic champion, he won the interim heavyweight belt and I’m sure he earned along with a lot of money. Anthony hit no weaker than Zhang and also has a higher speed. It is wrong to do such a battle, after all, you have to protect these people.
Zhilei? Joshua has always wanted this fight. He beat him in the amateurs, it was a good fight. Of course, we will go to China for this. Talk about money. We can do it at Wembley too.
We want to organize a fight with Wilder. I think the Zhang fight will be easier, although he’s still dangerous, why not?” Hearn said in comments on iFL TV.
Earlier, Joyce’s promoter spoke about the boxer’s future after his loss to Zhilei.
