EDDIE HEARN was left bemused after a “Spider-Man” was unmasked during his press conference.
Boxer Brandon Scott has been known to dress up as the iconic Marvel superhero to promote his fights.
But this time it was a mystery man behind the mask on the top table just days before Scott’s return to the ring.
He said: “Right everyone, let’s see who this really is.”
Scott then revealed it to be former world champion Sunny Edwards, recently handed his first defeat to Bam Rodriquez.
“Do you know this man?” Asked Scott.

A confused Hearn replied: “I have no idea what is going on.”
Edwards, looking to return to the ring, added: “Eddie, you’ve been ignoring my phone calls. We’ve got a fight to talk about.”
Hearn then quipped: “Can I just say one thing, I hope it’s you (Scott) on the card and not him (Edwards) because he’s extremely expensive.”
Scott then announced that Edwards will actually be on board his team as a co-manager.
