Eddie Hearn names the fighter who is 'great for the sport of boxing'DAZN
One fighter has received huge praise from Eddie Hearn.

Eddie Hearn has long tried to secure a fight between Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, but what does he think about the American heavyweight?  

Hearn will be in attendance in Saudi Arabia on December 23 when his man faces Otto Wallin with Wilder taking on Joseph Parker on the same night. 

With pair looking to secure a lucrative bout against each other next year, both men will need to be victorious when they fight next month.  

With Wilder set to end a lengthy spell of inactivity against the veteran New Zealander, Hearn, often very outspoken on Wilder, has had his say on the Alabama man. 

“I respect him. He’s a very entertaining heavyweight,” said Hearn when speaking to Fight Hub TV 

“I just think that our guy will win, but I know that at any time, he can beat any man on this planet. He’s great for the sport of boxing. Great for the heavyweight division.”
