Just coincidence that Eddie Hearn has confirmed he is "close to retirement" in the same week this new boxing promotion news comes out?
His golden goose has stopped laying eggs. Without Joshua he has next to nothing, Connor Benn is who he is trying desperately to elevate but the way he behaved around the failed drug test and how he's behaving now won't endear him to a crossover beyond having his dad's name.
British boxing is at a funny place now, no real crops of exciting fighters capable of leading a big show outside of their home towns. A few exceptions in Moses Itauma, Dubois who I'm not totally convinced on but has taken his chance. Archie Sharp I thought was the next big hope, Dennis McCann another one who has failed a drug test. I love Chris Billam-Smith but his fights are for people that appreciate the way he fights and not for the crossover fans. Nick Ball i also love watching, but apart from boxing fans nobody knows him.
