SKY SPORTS were forced to apologise after Eddie Hearn hilariously swore live on air.
The 41-year-old has been busy promoting the first of Matchroom’s Fight Camp series, set to take place at their Essex HQ tomorrow night.
Hearn made the quip thinking he was in rehearsal
Realisation dawned on the 41-year-old’s face
But he very quickly saw he funny side
But Hearn, thinking it was a rehearsal, decided to have a bit of fun with the Sky Sports reporter.
From the weigh-in, he put on a high voice and used the phrase: “Mother f***ers”.
Shock dawned on Hearn’s face as the mortified reporter revealed that they were in fact live… before giving way to embarrassed laughter.
The promoter was a good sport, however, later addressing his faux pas on Twitter.
He wrote: “That was awkward..when you think it’s a rehearsal 🙈”
And fans on social media naturally found the incident hilarious.
One wrote: “I’m absolutely gone with that.”
‘ABSOLUTE ALAN PARTRIDGE MOMENT’
While another added: “The “Gif” Gift that keeps on giving.”
Former Spurs midfielder Jamie O’Hara commented: “This is unreal.”
And another social media user likened Hearn to a British TV favourite: “Everything about that video is hilarious.
“The camera work, Eddie’s face, the timing, absolute Alan Partridge moment.”
Hearn will be a busy man tomorrow, as IBF International Super-Welterweight champion Sam Eggington kicks off Fight Camp’s first main event by putting his belt on the line against Ted Cheeseman.
Huge-hitter James Tennyson also takes on Gavin Gwynne in what promises to be an exciting night of boxing.
