Summary

One of the World’s best-known sports promoters Eddie Hearn chats to some of the biggest names in sport, entertainment and business.

Eddie learns about their passions, what gets them up in the morning, and how they dealt with the world grinding to a halt this year.

Eddie himself is in a bubble for his Fight Camp shows, so they discuss how they are getting on in lockdown, how she balances her presenting career with other projects, such as clothing lines and acting, and what the future holds for Maya Jama.
