The Matchroom boss has defended his criticism of the bout and also named the one fighter who would be willing to take Diaz up on his offer.
Speaking to Boxing Social, Hearn said,
“Very scary, probably more scary than John Fury. Out of ten, ten being most scared, twelve.
“I don’t think you should be threatened or penalised for giving your opinion on a fight.”
“They said what do you think of Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz and I said, as an event, unbelievable. But, in terms of the boxing quality, really poor.”
“That was what I said and then he said he’ll fight any of my fighters from welterweight to heavyweight and I’ve only had one request.”
“Sandy Ryan said she would do it, that’s the only one who has put herself forward so far, but obviously she’s fighting Jessica McCaskill.”
“If Nate Diaz does see me, please don’t choke me out.”
“I’m a big fan, genuinely I’m a big fan of Nate Diaz, he’s a very good boxer.”
“But, I promote some of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, so I’m not saying he can’t box, but he can’t box at that level.”
