One of the rising stars of British boxing has hit out at Jake Paul seemingly being gifted a place on big pay-per-view shows.
Decorated amateur John Hedges fought 44 times, winning four national titles and seven international gold medals, before turning professional at the age of 17. In doing so, he became the youngest ever boxer to be signed up by Matchroom chief Eddie Hearn.
In February, the super-middleweight fighter went 5-0 at pro-level with a fourth round stoppage over Aleksander Nagolski at London’s O2 Arena. On May 21, he'll return to the same venue when he clashes with Jozef Jurko on the undercard of the Joshua Buatsi v Craig Richards fight, as he works towards his ultimate goal of becoming world champion.
