Eddie Hearn is well used to staging colossal shows around the world, from Joshua-Ruiz II in Saudi Arabia to Joshua-Klitschko at Wembley.
He is the mastermind behind Katie Taylor’s historic clash with Amanda Serrano when the Irish superstar will defend her undisputed lightweight title against the Puerto Rican. New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden will be a sell-out for the clash in the early hours of Sunday and Hearn says the showdown is off the scale.
He has likened it to Mayweather-Pacquiao with the important difference that Taylor and Serrano are at their peak. Taylor is 35 and unbeaten in her 20 pro fights, while Serrano is 33 and has won nine world titles at seven different weights.
