Speaking to IFLTV Hearn said: “That would be dangerous. Honestly, he shouldn’t be boxing.
“He’s had a great career, he should’ve been Olympic champion, he won the interim world heavyweight title and I’m sure he’s made a lot of money as well.
“AJ punches as hard as Zhang with much more speed. It’s not the right fight to make, you have to protect these guys.
“It’s a car crash that fight. A car crash.”
But Hearn did reveal that a fight between Joshua and Zhang could be a possibility.
He continued: “AJ has always fancied that fight. “He beat him in the amateurs, it was a good fight. Of course, [we’d do it in China]. Money talks, we can do it at Wembley.
“We want to make the Wilder fight. I think Zhang is an easier fight, it’s still dangerous, but why not?”
