    Ella Toone

    Ella Toone

    Eddie Hearn talks to Ella Toone, Manchester United attacking midfielder and one of the Euro winning Lionesses.
    Irrepressibly cheerful, she tells Eddie about getting papped eating a pastie, connecting with fans on social media and inspiring the next generation of football stars.
    "I think the paparazzi and all that stuff is part and parcel of the game now. We want that to grow, so that's going to come with it. So, yeah, you've got to get used to it. But I definitely now brush my hair when I leave the house, just in case of an emergency.”

    Zharnel Hughes

    Zharnel Hughes

    Eddie Hearn talks to British sprint record holder at 100m and 200m, Zharnel Hughes. In 2023 he became the first British man to win a world 100m medal in 20 years when he claimed a bronze at the World Championships in Budapest.
    He’s also a double Commonwealth Games gold medallist and European champion as part of the 4 x 100m relay team. He was on the Great Britain team that won silver in the 4 × 100m relay at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (in 2021) though the team was stripped of their second place after the Court of Arbitration for Sport found CJ Ujah guilty of a doping violation.
    Born and raised Anguilla, which is a British Overseas Territory, Zharnel lives in Jamaica and trains with Glen Mills – Usain Bolt’s coach. He tells Eddie about some of the posturing antics that go on ahead of a race, how he holds on to his innate sense of calm, and his passion for flying planes.

    Stuart Broad

    Stuart Broad

    Eddie Hearn talks to cricket legend Stuart Broad. He shares his journey as a professional athlete, his mental strategies in cricket, lessons on success, and his parents' influence.
    His mother was determined to keep the game fun for him at all times irrespective of results, making him very much at home in a team led by Brendan McCullum that put an entertaining playing style and positive attitude ahead of winning.
    Broad says he scoffed when his father, Chris, told him Test match cricket was 80 percent mental – but now believes that was an underestimate. And he tells Eddie how writing down his feelings and concerns about the day ahead helps him take action to keep focused; about the importance of staying in the moment, and about setting new goals for himself now he’s retired.

Eddie has got such an engaging way about how he talks and what he talks about, it’s like you’re having a chat with a mate.
