“So Good for Our Sport”: Former Pro Boxer Contemplates Benefits of Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren’s Recent Union

In a matter of minutes, the boxing world would witness one of the biggest boxing cards of the year. The card is billed as “Day of Reckoning,” and rightfully so as it is stacked from bottom to top. Former champions like Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder will be making their walk— not just for their respective fights—but also as a setup for their next fight against each other.

However, to make this card happen, a certain level of credit must go towards Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren. Especially given the fact that the two do not get along so well. This deserves praise and it was given by a former professional boxer. Who is this professional boxer and what exactly does he have to say? Let’s find that out.

Credit due to Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren

The professional boxer is none other than Dave Coldwell. The British retired boxer did not find much success in the professional realm. He called it a day after suffering 13 defeats with just 6 victories. That being said, he has associated himself with sport in the capacity of a promoter, commentator, and analyst. In a recent tweet, he applauded Hearn and Warren for keeping their grudges aside and making this card come to fruition for the benefit of the sport at large.

He stated, “Doesn’t matter what’s brought them to work together, Eddie Hearn & Frank Warren, Matchroom & Queensbury have now broken a massive barrier down. Yes they’ve put the odd fight together before but this is different. Face to face & working together. This is so good for our sport!”

Coldwell’s perspective is something many have shared, especially people who are appreciative of these two for arranging the Saudi card. Moreover, to dive deeper into this revelation, it is crucial to see how Hearn finds working with Warren.
