Hearn saddened by the announcement of Tyson's fight with Jake Paul

Famous British promoter Eddie Hearn reacted to the announcement of a boxing fight between the legendary Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.

"You're asking the wrong guy. I'm an avid boxing fan and he's one of my heroes. It's very sad, even though it's a big event. I understand that people are interested in it. It's entertainment. But for someone who idolized Tyson as a kid, it's not a good day," Hearn said on Fight Hub TV's YouTube channel.

The bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, a popular youtuber and boxer, was announced yesterday, March 7. This fight is expected to take place on July 20. It will headline an evening of boxing to be held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, USA.
