EDDIE HEARN showed he can produce perfect match-ups – with his impressions of boxing icons.
The promoter was a real Ed-ringer for British ring greats Chris Eubank and Kell Brook – vocally at least.
Former IBF welterweight king Kell Brook might want to return to the ring to give Eddie Hearn a bashing if he hears the promoter’s impression
Chris Eubank’s distinct voice was well tackled by Eddie Hearn
And he mocked himself with an impersonation of legendary American promoter Bob Arum slating HEARN as a ‘disgrace to boxing’.
Hearn displayed his surprise talent for mimicking in an Instagram Q&A with fans in which he tipped Anthony Joshua to fight Tyson Fury for Britain’s biggest ever fight in December.
He also predicted AJ would win his title unification revenge bid against Oleksandr Usyk this summer.
But his sideline in impressions won over many of his followers.

He was in full flow with his take on ex-middleweight Eubank’s precise, distinct delivery – with a fake preview of Welsh hero Joe Cordina’s genuine IBF super-featherweight title shot against Japan’s Kenichi Ogawa.
And Hearn’s impersonation of Brook was even cheekier.
But his scariest impersonation was of Arum.
In a low, rasping drawl, the Brit said of himself: “Eddie Hearn, he’s a disgrace to boxing.
“He thinks he knows it all. he comes over here. He knows NOTHING about the US market.”
Hearn, though, then shook his head at his impersonation and said: “That’s pretty terrible, to be honest with you.”
His most amusing impression was of two-time world title contender Jim McDonnell, who trained Danny Williams and James DeGale.
He then rounded off his impromptu performance by sending up Swiss promoter Richard Schaefer.
And Hearn’s round-by-round verdict on himself? “Eubank’s actually the only one that I’m any good at.”
