All Episodes

May 22, 2025 • 60 mins

This week’s episode is with world-renowned boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, the man behind some of the biggest nights in boxing history and one of the most influential figures in the sport. But this isn’t just a conversation about boxing. We go behind the scenes of the empire he’s built and the pressure that comes with carrying a legacy. From growing up as “Barry Hearn’s son” to leading global sporting events, Eddie opens up about identity, addiction to winning, burnout, and what success really looks like when the cameras stop rolling. He shares what it’s like to be both the face of Matchroom and his own harshest critic and why, after all the glitz and grind, he’s now chasing something much deeper than money or fame. ⸻ Key moments include: ✔ The weight of legacy and forging his own path ✔ The pressure of staying at the top and never feeling it’s enough ✔ The raw truth about social media, mental health and criticism ✔ Why celebrating wins doesn’t come naturally ✔ Rebuilding his relationship with health, energy and purpose This is Eddie Hearn like you’ve never heard him, stripped back, reflective, and real.
