Eddie Hearn

What strikes me about Eddie Hearn is how he turned a surname into a stage. As the son of Barry Hearn, he could have coasted, but he carved out his own lane in boxing promotion, putting his name behind Anthony Joshua, Canelo Alvarez and Katie Taylor. I find his role chairing both Matchroom Sport and the Professional Darts Corporation telling: he's comfortable selling spectacle whether the arena is a ring or an oche. There's a showman's confidence to him that I respect, even when it tips into bravado. To me he reads less as a fight fan and more as a builder of must-watch nights.
