Eddie Hearn & Frank Warren Exclusive: Foreman's legacy, Saudi league and... AJ v Paul?

British boxing's biggest promoters, Eddie Hearn & Frank Warren were once able to put their historic rivalry aside, to take boxing to Saudi Arabia... but after the recent announcement of a new Saudi boxing league (run by the owners of UFC and WWE) - are they about to regret that decision?

How big a threat is the TKO boxing league to the established boxing order? Is this Boxing’s LIV Golf moment?

Could Anthony Joshua actually fight Jake Paul? What was Hearn's reaction to Chris Eubank smashing an egg across the face of his fighter, Conor Benn? And we pay tribute to heavyweight boxing legend George Foreman.

Plus, how did we get on at last night's SJA British Sports Journalism Awards and why does Gabby want to talk about skier Lindsey Vonn?
