Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn mentions most dangerous boxer he ever met
Matchroom Sports’ Eddie Hearn named the most dangerous boxer he ever met, but fans were surprised.
Hearn promotes big fighters like Anthony Joshua, Artur Beterbiev, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, etc. However, none of these were mentioned, just a light heavyweight champion who whose career bouts comprise of twenty knockout victories and one defeat. His name was Subriel Matias.
Speaking to Boxing King Media, Hearn said:
‘He’s a world champion, he’s one of the most dangerous motherf***kers I’ve ever met in my life, and he’s pound for pound one of the most exciting fighters in probably the best and most exciting division in the sport.
‘Now with our American arm we can go over and be in Puerto Rico and America with him. He will be in some massive fights, and I will put him in any fight and believe he has a great chance of winning it.’
It is possible the statement was only made to promote.
