As a part of the entertainment at Fight Camp, Eddie also proved that he isn’t half bad behind a microphone. He stood up and performed the 1971 Bill Withers classic, ‘Ain’t No Sunshine.’

He even justified his choice and said,” I’m going to sing a song that represents the pain and suffering under lockdown without boxing. Ain’t no sunshine.”

For the past month, Fight Camp, which ran out of his backyard, set up and run boxing bouts that were put on hold following the COVID-19 outbreak.

Despite its success, Hearn took the decision to end the event. He has turned down the chance of keeping it running after this weekend, though he promises it would return next year.
