Eddie Hearn, in principle, does not like the idea of ​​holding such matches – fights between boxing legends and bloggers.

Eddie Hearn has definitely opposed the fight between former undisputed world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and blogger Jake Paul.

A prominent British promoter criticized the fight, saying it was a total disrespect to boxing.

“I will not add anything new if I say that 20 years ago Mike Tyson retired from the sport, he was done with him then I could not help but admire him: he is probably my favorite boxer, he is one of the greatest boxer of all time, but he – 58 years old!

You should talk to him or look at him at least once to understand that he should not enter the ring again. If I were Jake Paul, I would feel at least embarrassed, to be honest. It’s dangerous, it doesn’t fit into any framework, and, in my opinion, it’s a clear disrespect to boxing as a sport.

Who doesn’t love bucks? Everyone loves money, but sometimes a wad of money forces you to make decisions you shouldn’t. And I think this is exactly the case,” the BBC quoted Hearn as saying.

We remind you that the former absolute world heavyweight champion is scheduled to enter the ring against the blogger on November 15, 2024.

At the time of the fight, Mike Tyson will be 58 years old, his opponent is 30 years younger than him.

It was previously known how much Mike Tyson will earn for the fight with Jake Paul.
