ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: oxford-union.org/supportus

And then very nearly beat the world champion that millions of fans think is better than Ali / the second coming/ the GOAT etc 🙄

[@MrSeanyuk]

You're forgetting that he came from hardship and he's a fighting man. You don't just become a UFC champion rolling out of bed.

People criticise Hearn but he has an open minded approach, even to negativity. He's not bound by his own ignorances. Thats probably why he's been more successful than other promoters. To a degree he's able to control his ego to the point where it makes pratical sense from a buisness perspective. Id say its much easier to curtail your emotional responses if have an agenda to achieve. Eddie goes where the £ note goes so you cant knock him in a buisness sense.

Very progressive of Eddie to wear a woman's suit 😀 0:54 (I bet he lost a bet)

[@user-lp7wo7og4x]

To be honest, watching girls play football is so boring 😅

[@mirajali4144]

That question about human rights record, and treatment of women, go and check UK’s, humans rights record when they went to Iraq based on a lie, on the topic of boxing most recently they have said men that are men can fight as woman. That’s literally abusing woman, I can’t stand it when people like this presenter ask that question like ur records are perfect.

Eddy not wearing his wedding ring

[@JamesFoxx]

15:45 I wondered how long before they brought up the human rights of another country lol… as we sit here in the U.K. as pioneers of peace and truth 😅😅😅 virtue signalling at its finest
