British top promoter Eddie Hearn is not going to hold back his emotions if his heavyweight ward Anthony Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) manages to take revenge on Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk (19-0, 13 KOs) and return the world champion titles by version WBA/IBF/WBO.
In this light, Hearn recalled jumping into the ring and riding happily after another of his famous fighters Carl Froch’s resounding victory over Lucian Bute in May 2012, when Carl triumphantly returned from a loss to Andre Ward and immediately regained the IBF super middleweight title. weight.
“It was really very emotional,” agrees the promoter. – You all remember how I jumped into the ring. It’s because you have relationships with all these people. I remember driving to Froch’s house when I had no idea what I was doing and I was shaking all over in the hope that he would sign the contract. When he beat Bute, emotions took over.”
“The same story with revenge. When AJ beats Usyk, I’ll just go crazy with happiness, – Eddie anticipates his insanity. “He is a friend to all of us. We don’t need to communicate every day, but you share something as you travel together. He trusted us with his entire career. So I’ll be honest: when he wins this fight, I will act like a real clown.”
Recall that the second fight between Usyk and Joshua is scheduled for August 20 in Saudi Arabia.
By the way, Froch recently told what his compatriot needs to defeat the Ukrainian.
