Summary

Eddie Hearn talks to British sprint record holder at 100m and 200m, Zharnel Hughes. In 2023 he became the first British man to win a world 100m medal in 20 years when he claimed a bronze at the World Championships in Budapest.

He’s also a double Commonwealth Games gold medallist and European champion as part of the 4 x 100m relay team. He was on the Great Britain team that won silver in the 4 × 100m relay at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (in 2021) though the team was stripped of their second place after the Court of Arbitration for Sport found CJ Ujah guilty of a doping violation.

Born and raised Anguilla, which is a British Overseas Territory, Zharnel lives in Jamaica and trains with Glen Mills – Usain Bolt’s coach. He tells Eddie about some of the posturing antics that go on ahead of a race, how he holds on to his innate sense of calm, and his passion for flying planes.
