Watch: 'He's off his swede!' Anthony Joshua's promoter entertained by David Higgins' colourful personality

November 23, 2017

Anthony Joshua's promoter didn't mince his words when talking about David Higgins, saying the Kiwi promoter is "off his swede" when it comes to his business approach.

Higgins has been the subject of ridicule from UK media after a controversial press conference yesterday where he showed footage of Joshua being knocked down while also demanding no less than 35 per cent of the revenue from a unification bout between the UK fighter and Joseph Parker.

"You've got to love this David Higgins - he is absolutely off his swede," Hearn told   IFL TV.

"I want to make the fight because I want to see David Higgins over here. I would love to do some press conferences with David Higgins!"

Hearn also played down the press conference yesterday which he took more as a publicity stunt than a demand.

"It was that bad that people were talking about it," he said.

"You can't have a press conference in a broom cupboard and put a promotional video out that looks like it's been done by my 8-year-old daughter and expect that to be an example of your commercial worth."
