Eddie Hearn reckons he’d beat Simon Jordan in a fight – but rules out Jake Paul

Eddie Hearn thinks he could take on Simon Jordan in a boxing fight – but wouldn't fancy his chances against Jake Paul.

The boxing supremo and the former Crystal Palace owner recently had an explosive round of verbal fisticuffs on the airwaves. Jordan described Hearn as a ‘snake oil salesman’ before the boxing colossus retorted with the low blow of mocking Jordan’s struggles as Palace owner.

Their verbal bout ended with a rather awkward photo with Hearn and Jordan both flanking ex-Sky Sports supremo Jim White like two older and significantly taller brothers. But when posed with the hypothetical spectacle of Hearn fighting either Jordan or the former YouTuber, Hearn made it very clear who he would fancy his chances against.

“Do you know how many people would love to see me get poleaxed,” Paul said to IFL TV. “Jake Paul would poleaxe me.

“When I did TalkSPORT with him the other day, I said ‘how much would you weigh’ and he said “14 stone”. I looked at him and I thought, ‘you don’t look 14 stone’.

“I’m closer to 17 stone. I was 19 stone at one point”. Paul suffered his first defeat as a professional boxer when Tommy Fury narrowly overcame him via a split decision.

Aside from a brief period where he appeared to justify his loss by claiming to have been suffering with illness and the ramification of a “wet dream,” Paul has been relatively quiet by his bellowing standards. Meanwhile, Hearn has been anything but quiet recently as he is currently promoting ‘The New Dawn’ of Anthony Joshua.

The Brit faces Jermaine Franklin at the O2 Arena on the weekend, in what will be his first fight since losing to Oleksandr Usyk for the second time last summer.
