Eddie Hearn was full of praise for his fighter following Anthony Joshua’s destruction of Francis Ngannou.
The British heavyweight did what Tyson Fury couldn’t and knocked out the MMA star in brutal fashion.

Eddie Hearn didn’t waste any time in bigging up his man just moments after that devastating KO.
“You’re looking at the baddest man on the planet right there,” said Hearn whilst pointing at Joshua.
“You’re looking at the No. 1 heavyweight in the world.
Well of course Tyson Fury had something to say about that.
He responded to Hearn’s claims that Joshua is the number one heavyweight by saying:
“I’m sure that Oleksandr Usyk will have something to say about that, considering he beat him twice in the last few years ago. And me and Usyk have got an undisputed world heavyweight championship coming up.
Fury concluded: “[Joshua’s] just done a show fight in Saudi Arabia, which is fantastic for the show, but for the actual, real boxing, it’s me and Usyk who will fight for the No. 1 and No. 2 position in the undisputed championship of the world.”
Who do you think is the best heavyweight on the planet? Let us know in the comments.
Both great fighters aj came out on top both humble..then you get narcissistic fury rearing his ugly mug..who gives a damn what he thinks it wasn’t his night..aj is back and hungry I think he should make fury eat his words sorry bs
So fury is always stating he is proud to be British and then there’s aj whom goes on blm marches plus tells all the asians to boycott whites and threatened young uni kids for giving him a bit of banter
Id say your backing the wrong horse and that’s why he has lost everyone’s respect
