Eddie Hearn Offers Himself as Kellerman’s Replacement

Eddie Hearn has offered to replace Max Kellerman as the host of major boxing press conferences, telling The Stomping Ground that Kellerman is "a little bit too long-winded" and "too staged." Hearn argued that promoters who are willing to generate excitement should be allowed to run the events rather than traditional broadcasters, following recent promotional launches.

Boxing 24/7 Wire argues that while Hearn's concerns regarding event pacing have merit, appointing Anthony Joshua's promoter creates an obvious conflict of interest. The outlet contends that promoter-led events can feel equally staged, suggesting the better solution is to shorten introductions rather than granting Hearn control over questioning ahead of fights like Joshua versus Tyson Fury.
