Angry Eddie Hearn hits out at Lennox Lewis’ criticisms of Anthony Joshua

Lennox Lewis

PROMOTER Eddie Hearn does not take kindly to Lennox Lewisโ€™ commentary on Anthony Joshuaโ€™s career choices.

Joshua has unified three major world heavyweight titles, in 22 pro contests. He holds the WBO, WBA and IBF belts and is currently waiting to decide his next move, with Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte and Jarrell Miller in the frame for a shot at the popular Englishman.

Lewis was the last undisputed heavyweight champion and has been urging Joshua to secure showdowns with Wilder or Fury.

โ€œAll these things, people like Lennox Lewis, Iโ€™ve never known a geezer talk so much s*** as Lennox Lewis at Anthony Joshua,โ€ Hearn told Boxing News.

โ€œIs it just because heโ€™s bitter that he couldnโ€™t sign him when he tried to? All the things that Lennox is telling us to do, weโ€™ve already done them. โ€˜What about offer them this percentage deal?โ€™ – done. You just think that itโ€™s AJ not wanting the fight. Absolute bulls***.โ€

โ€œSo itโ€™s frustrating. Because youโ€™ve got all these people saying AJ donโ€™t want the fight, what more can we do?โ€ Hearn continued. โ€œMade flat offers, percentage offers, double way rematch, fight in America, but they wonโ€™t even reply. If that donโ€™t tell you what you need to know, Iโ€™m lost, baffled.โ€
