Eddie Hearn Feels Exhibition Fights “Will Kill Boxing”

Exhibition fights have taken over the boxing universe and they’ve become a new trend altogether. Many celebrities and boxing veterans have laced up the boxing gloves until now to make their appearances in the ring, thus fulfill their wish to continue fighting. However, the Matchroom boss, Eddie Hearn, feels that these exhibition fights are deteriorating the sport to a mammoth extent.

In a recent conversation with Little Giant Boxing, he said, “I just feel that right now if we don’t get hold of boxing and start making the great fights, you’ll see more and more of that stuff, which will kill boxing. So we need to make sure we put more effort and more focus into great fights,”

Hearn feels the sole way to overpower exhibition boxing bouts is by staging real boxing fights among the best contenders at present. He has the likes of bigwigs like Canelo Alvarez and Anthony Joshua, and accordingly, Hearn looks to organize their fights in the most perfect setting and against the perfect opponents.

A few months back, the Matchroom supremo gave it his all to book Joshua’s fight against Tyson Fury for all the heavyweight titles on the line. The fight was also set for August 2021, however, it couldn’t reach fruition. Despite that, Hearn was highly praised for his efforts and he took onto his strides and moved ahead.
