Eddie Hearn has always made his opinion about Jake Paul's boxing career, and he has now talked about his recently announced fight.
Last week, controversial internet sensation Boxer Jake Paul shocked that his next boxing fight will take place against world champion, Gervonta Davis.
The super fight will take place from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia and will stream live on Netflix, just like 'The Problem Child' last few fights.
The announcement of the fight came somewhat a surprise when Paul was in conversation to hire the former heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua.

Eddie Hearn breaks silence on Paul vs Davis
During his career, Matchrome -Box Promotor Eddie Hearn Paul criticized several times for his involvement in sport as a hunter.
Nevertheless, he worked closely with the 28-year-old in an attempt to negotiate the battle between him and Joshua, who is in his stable of hunters.
Although Hearn is usually critical of Paul, he was surprisingly open to a fight between Paul and Joshua despite the widespread criticism of the fans.
And now talking about Paul's coming fight against 'Tank', Hearn has surprisingly supported the idea.
“I can't be hypocritical and say that if you are Gervonta Davis and you are 20, 30, $ 40 million, whatever the number is and you get seven or eight to combat Lamont Roach JR in a 50-50 fight, what are you going to do? Maybe the child is half out of the game,” Hearn told the Fight Hype.
“I think as long as we determine that it is not boxing, and it's just this entertainment -then I understand,” Hearn went on.
Jake Paul claims that Vecht against Anthony Joshua could still happen
Not long after the announcement, Paul claimed that a potential fight against Joshua is not dead and buried and could still take place in 2026.
Nevertheless, Hearn has admitted that if 'the problem child' is defeated by 'Tank', it is unlikely that he and his team will continue to discuss conversations with the controversial boxer.
