He had to stop after seven or eight rounds on Monday in pain, in a lot of pain. “He went back and sparred once at the weekend, and he sparred on Monday. “I got the first call probably the Mikey Garcia week to say, ‘He’s just going to have a couple of days off sparring, he’s got a shoulder problem. Dillian Whyte picked up a shoulder injury. He spent time, money, and effort on this camp. Doing either of those things would be so easy for Hearn.
