Eddie Hearn has admitted a group of students who heckled Anthony Joshua "faced the consequences" after the heavyweight threatened to break their jaws.
Footage emerged of Joshua confronting a group of Loughborough University students who heckled him over a fight with heavyweight rival Tyson Fury. The two-time champion is heard saying in the clip: "Remember you’re running your mouth because when I start cracking your glass jaws, none of you will like it. Watch your mouths because you don’t know who you’re talking to sometimes."
Hearn has now revealed Joshua's confrontation with the students was sparked by more "X-rated" comments than previously anticipated. "I saw a lot of stuff in the papers saying that they were just shouting stuff about Tyson Fury but they weren't," Hearn revealed in an interview with iFL TV. "I am sure they did at some point but it was a bit more X-rated than that. There is a lot of stuff you don't say to people you can't not expect anything back.
