I think Hearn has arranged some matches against each other all over the world and this guy’s work ethic is ridiculous. I think Ben’s time will come, Ben is now lining up to say, this is what I did, you’ll look back and look at what I’ve achieved.”

“You have to tell Eddie, like it or not. I’m obviously not wearing a Sky hat right now, but I think he [Hearn] did a great job as a promoter.”
