Eddie Hearn has refuted Jake Paul's claim that Anthony Joshua is part of the problem in big heavyweight fights not happening.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul called on heavyweights such as Joshua, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk to put their egos aside and sign to fight each other. Whilst praising other divisions for putting on undisputed fights, Paul said the heavyweight division is in "shambles" and also blamed promoters such as Hearn for the big fights not taking place.
Hearn has fired back at Paul's claim after Joshua's rematch against Dillian Whyte was announced yesterday. “We live in a world of criticism, don’t we? If you listened to Twitter you’d never really want to get out of bed in the morning,” Hearn told talkSPORT. "When you look at AJ’s CV, I don’t see the criticism. I think he’s always been in those big fights, and he is an occasion.
