Eddie Hearn

"I'm not going to sit here and hang Conor Benn out to dry but me, personally, I'm pretty devastated."

"If he comes to me and says 'I want to do the fight in America for this reason', we'll all be very disappointed because I don't think there's a person on the planet that doesn't think this fight should take place in the UK."

"When you come off an incident like that and an accident like that, I guess people say, 'Will you ever be the same?'"

"It's done. We signed a legally binding contract about three months ago."

"We insisted that this fight was in the UK."

"In layman's terms, by staging the fight in America, Anthony Joshua receives less money than he would do if the fight was in the UK where he was contractually agreed."

"no-one can pull out of the fight."

"'We've signed the contract, we're waiting for a date.'"

"'We know everybody and his dog involved in the fight wants to do the fight in America. We don't.'"
