The renowned boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is a big name in the sport of boxing.

But have you ever wondered that Eddie Hearn is also fond of lacing gloves in his meantime?

After launching Alvarez vs. Dmitry Bivol’s fight, the promoter did leather trading amid a small crowd. Having a size advantage over Frank, he dominated the ring from the initial round.
Throughout the slugfest, body punches remained the highlight of the event. Frank tried but could not reach with the jab, as the combination of body punches by Hearn was hurting the stomach of the latter. Smith tried to escape but could not and several times fell on the ropes.
However, stumbling Smith any how ended the 5 round session and in the end, made a hilarious remark. He asked Hearn, “Do you want to do another fight? Easy light work.”
This was not the first sparing session between Frank and Hearn. Prior to this, the duo has exchanged in a room a few years back.
