Eddie Hearn is certainly the most popular boxing promoter of our time. If that was not enough, he is also a big, athletic man who looks like he could have made a good heavyweight boxer himself. On Twitter when a person raised his doubt about Anthony Joshua's height:
@SkySportsBoxing needs to stop the Joshua hype. No way is he 6ft 6. I've stood next to him myself and I'm 6ft 4. Con Artists @EddieHearn
Mr. Hearn replied:
What a plonker you are! I'm 6'5 and he is taller than me.
Now. Mr. Hearn surely looks like a healthy, strappy, tall man but 6'5"? After looking at him and comparing him to some others celebrities like Anthony Joshua (6'6"), Andy Ruiz Jr. (6"), Dillian Whyte (6'2.5"), and some others we think Mr. Hearn looks closer to 6'4" than 6'5".
The real height of Eddie Hearn is
6'4" or 193 cm
