The professional boxer is none other than Dave Coldwell. The British retired boxer did not find much success in the professional realm.

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!”
