Hearn to stage first of four fight nights in back garden of his family mansion in Essex

- Chris McKenna

Eddie Hearn had two years living on his own in the family mansion, but never bothered hosting a big garden party despite pleas from his mates.

But he is going to make up for it now with four big ones that will cost more than £5million.

Hearn, 41, stages the first of four cards at Matchroom’s Fight Camp this Saturday night in the back garden of the former family home.

Ted Cheeseman against Sam Eggington is the first headline act, and Dillian Whyte against Alexander Povetkin will bring the curtain down on their summer shows on August 22.

The stately home in Brentwood is Matchroom’s HQ, but for almost 20 years Hearn called it home.
