EDDIE HEARN cannot split Tommy Fury or KSI in advance of a potentially "huge battle "..." because "neither one of them is very good".
Hearn promoted KSI's professional debut and he beat TWO other opponents the next night.

Then he called ex-Love Islander Fury and he accepted.
Hearn acknowledged that the all-celebrity fight is expected to bring in a lot of eyeballs, but cautioned against expecting an exhibition of boxing skills.
DAZN was informed by him that it is still a big fight between the two.
"And it would also be competitive, as I've stated before and I don’t mean it disrespectfully. Neither of them is very good.
They aren't skilled fighters but it doesn't mean they can't entertain.
"It may be more fun watching those guys just fall apart in front of the entire world."
Logan Paul, 27, was defeated by KSI at his pro debut in 2019. This came a year after he had drawn in a white collar bout.
To make up for the lost time, he defeated rapper Swarmz (25), and boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda (25), on the same night.
KSI wants to play Paul's brother Jake (25), in a grudge match. Jake is 5-0 in his career.
Fury signed twice to fight the American, but both times he was retracted.
First, he was injured in December and had to be ejected from the August rescheduled bout due to a US visa problem.
Jake will now be facing Anderson Silva, 48, a UFC legend with a 4-1 record in boxing.
However, Hearn supports him in a fight with KSI next season.
He stated that Jake Paul was fighting at levels higher than what we saw Saturday, and that Jake Paul will beat KSI.
"But KSI was better, even though he was up against everything. He looked a lot better than I thought.
