When you think boxing, heavyweights come to mind. But Eddie Hearn? Not quite the boxer, yet he’s flexing muscles we never knew he had. It’s no newsflash that the boxing world thrives on punches, jabs, and the occasional low blow. However, every once in a while, something peculiar emerges from the shadows of the ring. Eddie Hearn, a renowned boxing promoter and not a boxer by trade, recently made waves, but not for brokering a big fight deal.
Instead, he’s taken to showcasing biceps that would make a bodybuilder nod in respect. Why? That remains a mystery. As Hearn pumps iron and curls his way into the boxing fraternity’s spotlight, the reasons are anyone’s guess. While the Twitter realm explodes with reactions, let’s dive deep into the tale of Eddie Hearn and the bicep curl that shook the boxing world.

An amused observer, couldn’t help but comment on the alleged accusations flying around. Apparently, some are speculating that Hearn might be on Performance Enhancing Drugs, all because he’s curling 30-pound weights. A bit of a stretch, wouldn’t you say?

Another user took a different route, making a light-hearted connection between Hearn and boxer Conor Benn. Benn is known for his rigorous diet, especially his love for eggs. Could Hearn be borrowing some of Benn’s dietary secrets?

Another fan weighed in, admiring Hearn’s impressive form, especially for someone in his mid-40s. But, he didn’t miss pointing out that Hearn’s affluent lifestyle probably affords him premium steaks and the best gym facilities, suggesting that it’s no surprise he’s in great shape.
