Eddie Hearn was forced to step in during another tense face-off between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk at today's press conference for their heavyweight title clash.
The pair went head-to-head last week in Jeddah on a number of occasions as they worked to promote their massive rematch, including a particularly long one at their launch press conference. And again it was up to promoter Hearn to separate the pair as they squared up in London this afternoon.
Joshua and Usyk don't have a particularly heated rivalry, especially compared to the ones shared between the likes of Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. But there is a healthy sense of competition between two elite athletes when the pair meet, which they did back in September when Usyk took the unified heavyweight titles from Joshua in his hometown.
