    ''Povetkin has got not just his team but the country and, dare I say, [Putin's] government behind him,' said Hearn, 'They are all involved. This is like a mission from them to beat Britain and for a Russian to become the world heavyweight champion.'

    ''He and his team know how important this is for them and for Povetkin nationally. This is not just about him personally winning a title, this is a major, major thing if he could stick one on a Brit,' Hearn continued.

    I think it adds a bit of spice, to be honest with you. You know that level of government is involved in Povetkin so there will be plenty of instruction, well wishes and calls of intent from them saying: "Come on, this is important for our country.''

    ''He’s (Joshua)got a completely different mentality for this fight,' said Hearn. 'It’s strictly business. He hasn’t really taken note of anything around him. He knows it is a really tough fight – if everyone in Britain had the knowledge of people who are involved in boxing, it would be five times bigger''

    This is desperate stuff. Doesn't sound like wembley is selling out if he's trying to drag Putin's name in this and insinuate that Russian politics will be up to no good and influence Povetkin's preparation knowing full well Russia are being demonized in the British media.

    Saying that I hope Putin does declare war on Hearn and his boy and makes sure Povetkin isn't going unarmed in a gun fight against this roider

    Putin has better things to do than worry about a 40 year old washed up Russian boxer fighting a stiff robotic UK bot.

    Eddie is definitely of the same mold of every big time promoter before him...

    That is to say, he is a salesman. And annoying.

    It would be really really cool of Putin if he offered the UKAD people a 5X bigger envelope to not disregard Joshua’s blood sample this time and toss Povetkins instead so Alexander can take a nice week of Test Suspension and Cheque Drops right before combat. Lol Sleep tight on a small dose of your own medicine Anthony :)

    “Stay Humble mate” Lol sack of ****.

    Trump told Deontay Wilder to knock out Joshua. I don't think having the leader of your country rooting for you makes much of a difference. Hearn is just trying to sell the fight using the premise of of Rocky 4 lol.

    I can see the headlines already... "Joshua rushed to hospital after the fight with symptoms of Polonium poisoning"

    Follow up news... "Hearn claims the large amount of roids and hgh found in Joshua's system during his stay in the hospital were there to counter the effects of the poisoning."

    Eddie pulling out the extreme shyt talk this time, plumbing the depths. Whats next, mention Gorbie and Stalin?

    Though Pov is a drug cheat like in Rocky 4, mind you. I notice that "On The Ropes" Pov reads a scripted reply about his drug use. Very Sharapova.
