Joshua going to war tonight

“He’s so driven to perform at this stage of his career, and how can you not love that about someone?” said Eddie Hearn to DAZN Boxing Show, talking about Anthony Joshua. “No messing around, no going out, no cutting corners, no partying, just trying his heart out to be the best version of himself, and as a country, we should support that.

“He’s such a great role model. Well, I think we don’t because we’re justWe’re British. As soon as you see someone start rising and reaching out above everybody else, you want to cut them back down again,” said Hearn about his disappointment about the UK boxing fans not giving Joshua the support that he feels he deserves.

“History will tell you when Frank Bruno won a world heavyweight title, he became less popular because ‘He was our Frank, who couldn’t quite win a world title. He’s not very good, but I’ll tell you what, we love our Frank.’

“He goes out and beats Oliver McCall, and he’s world champion. ‘Yeah, but he beat Oliver McCall; he’s not a real world champion.’ It’s not, ‘He’s finally done it. What a great Brit.’

“This man [Joshua], you can’t not like him. He hasn’t got a bad bone in his body. He’ll stop and talk with everybody. You know that. He’ll give time to everyone. It doesn’t matter if it’s kids at a local boxing club.

“Let’s get behind him. It’s the last phase of his career. It could be his last fight. It could be three fights; it could be five fights; it could be one fight.

“So, we’ll cross our fingers for him on Saturday night and watch him go to war in a dangerous, tricky heavyweight fight on an unbelievable undercard,  one of the best non-pay-per-view cards we’ve ever put on,” said Hearn about tonight’s Joshua vs. Helenius undercard.
