Eddie Hearn, the renowned British promoter, didn’t hold back during his latest interview as he dissected the current state of boxing. Among his many fiery takes, he addressed Gervonta “Tank” Davis’ issues with PBC, Devin Haney’s return, and the ongoing feud with boxing icon Oscar De La Hoya. Hearn’s bold comments have stirred the pot, leaving fans and industry insiders alike buzzing.
Gervonta Davis “FKED” by PBC?**
The ongoing drama between Gervonta Davis and Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) has caught the attention of everyone in the boxing world. Davis, one of the hottest stars in the sport, has recently been involved in talks about his future with PBC. Hearn didn’t mince words when describing the situation.
“They’ve completely f**ked him over,” Hearn said, referring to the contract issues Davis has faced with PBC. According to Hearn, PBC’s handling of Davis’ career has left the fighter in a tough spot, unsure of where to go next in his career. “Tank is one of the biggest stars in boxing, and they should be building his legacy, but instead, they’ve been too focused on short-term gains and not thinking about his future,” Hearn continued.
Davis’ situation is a complicated one, with the fighter finding himself at a crossroads in his career. Although he remains one of the most popular and feared fighters in the sport, it seems his relationship with PBC has hit a rough patch.
Devin Haney’s Demons and the Return to the Ring
Turning to another top name in boxing, Hearn also weighed in on Devin Haney’s plans for a comeback. Haney, who recently vacated his lightweight titles, is set to make a return to the ring, and Hearn believes the American fighter has a lot of demons to face before he can reclaim his spot at the top.
“Devin Haney is a great fighter, but I believe he has a lot of demons to deal with before he can truly be the king of the lightweight division again,” Hearn said. “The weight cuts, the mental toll from the Lomachenko fight, and the pressure of living up to being an undisputed champion are not easy to handle.”
Haney’s next steps are unclear, but many are eager to see how he bounces back from his previous fights. Whether he decides to move up in weight or take on another top contender at lightweight remains to be seen, but Hearn is confident that Haney has the skill to rise again.
Oscar De La Hoya Feud – The War Continues
Perhaps the most personal comment Hearn made was regarding his ongoing feud with boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya. The two promoters have clashed repeatedly over the years, and Hearn didn’t hold back in criticizing De La Hoya’s handling of his fighters and his promotional strategies.
“Oscar just doesn’t get it anymore,” Hearn remarked. “He had his time, and he was great at it, but now he’s just acting like a spoiled child throwing tantrums every time something doesn’t go his way. He’s been out of touch for a while now, and I think that’s why he’s losing credibility in the boxing world.”
The rift between Hearn and De La Hoya has been simmering for years, but it seems that it has now reached a boiling point. Both promoters have been in the spotlight for their respective ways of running boxing operations, but with Hearn’s latest comments, it’s clear that the bad blood between the two is far from over.
Conclusion: A Wild Ride Ahead in Boxing
As the drama unfolds with Gervonta Davis, Devin Haney, and Oscar De La Hoya, it’s clear that the boxing world is far from predictable. Eddie Hearn’s blunt remarks show just how volatile and complicated the sport can be, as it’s not just about the fighters in the ring but also the power struggles behind the scenes.
With the PBC-Davis situation, Haney’s comeback, and the De La Hoya-Hearn feud all heating up, fans should brace themselves for more fireworks in the boxing world. The questions remain: What will happen to Davis’ career? Will Haney return stronger than ever? And will the De La Hoya-Hearn feud ever come to a head in a way that could change the landscape of boxing promotions?
