EDDIE HEARN has stood by Anthony Joshua following his confrontation with a group of shady university students.
After being heckled by the children, AJ, 32, berated them. Hearn suggested that some of the language was X-rated.
Anthony Joshua attacked students following harassment at Loughborough University Campus
He was allowed to their home and warned them about their behavior.
In the Loughborough uni house, he said: "Remember that you're running you mouth because when you start cracking your glasses jaws it will not be pleasant for any of you.
"Watch your mouth, because sometimes you don't even know who you are talking to."
Hearn was asked his opinion about the incident, and the promoter used it to support his client.

He said to iFL TV, "I saw a lot in the newspaper that they were shouting about Tyson Fury – they really weren’t. They did, but it was a little more X-rated than they thought.
"I don't want to tell you what was said, but there is a lot that you can't say to people.
"And if it's something you're going say, you can't expect – you're not on twitter.
"You shout it to a heavyweight fighter, and you shout personal insults at him. You can't expect anything back."

He was not physically with anyone. Before he entered, he took off his shoes before dressing them down.
"It's difficult isn't? I suppose in his position, you have to behave in a certain manner, supposedly.
"Sometimes people push your buttons, but if someone abuses you, you must face the consequences."
