“How Can Boxing Be in the Hands of Guys Like This”: Fans Go Berserk Over Eddie Hearn’s Mount Rushmore Picks

The British boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has made his Mount Rushmore picks. In a brief interview with DAZN, Matchroom Boxing’s boss selected the name of four boxers who, according to him, are the best to be carved in boxing’s Rushmore. Probably, you would be guessing the names of the greatest boxers like Muhammad Ali, and Sugar Ray Robinson, but it would shatter your hopes to learn the names Hearn announced.

Without caring much about boxing’s vast history and former champions, he easily pointed out boxers from his promotion. Before knowing what Hearn said, let’s take a look at what Mount Rushmore actually is and why it is so famous.

Mount Rushmore in South Dakota is a National Memorial also known as the Shrine of Democracy, which represents the first 150 years of America’s history. Located in Black Hills National Forest, this Mountain pays homage to democracy and has gained a special status in the country and the world.

It is a colossal sculpture of four US presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Moreover, the sculpture depicts the faces of these presidents carved into the granite mountain. Additionally, the entire gigantic structure symbolizes the nation’s birth, growth, development, and preservation.

Keeping in mind the context of Rushmore, Eddie Hearn said, “My mount Rushmore of boxing would be Anthony Joshua, Canelo Alvarez, Katie Taylor, and me. What you laughing at!”

When fans came across this, they slipped into the comment section and chastized the boxing promoter for his choice of boxers on the list.
