EDDIE HEARN has come out fighting in defence of the pay-per-view price for Anthony Joshua’s rematch with Dillian Whyte.

And it will be aired on DAZN PPV, priced at £26.99, which sparked outrage amongst fans.
Joshua’s last bout – against Jermaine Franklin – was included in DAZN’s regular monthly subscription which costs between £9.99 or £19.99.
Whereas Whyte’s PPV bout to Tyson Fury in 2022 – which ended in a knockout loss – cost £24.95 on BT Box Office.
Hearn said on talkSPORT: “No, different broadcasters, firstly. All broadcasters have a different pay-per-view price.
“There will be a fantastic undercard that will be announced at the press conference on Monday.
“I think the last pay-per-view, I think it was Oleksandr Usyk, I think it was £29.99. Something like that?
“It is always around £24, £26, pay-per-view is pay-per-view. We have been there a million times.
“This fight is pay-per-view on any platform. The fact that it is on DAZN, it will be available on Sky as well and obviously, talkSPORT will be carrying it.
“It is a massive fight. It will have a massive undercard. We could have done it in a stadium, tickets go on sale next week.
“Good luck and we look forward to seeing you there.”
Joshua heads into the rematch knowing defeat will KO his proposed December super-fight with Deontay Wilder, 37, in Saudi Arabia.
Hearn added: “The rivalry runs deep and there is something about these two where they will never back down from each other.
“It is an absolute must-win for both. Get ready for fireworks.”
