“I spoke to Eddie [Hearn] yesterday, just on WhatsApp, and I jokingly said, ‘Look, I’m going to beat one of your golden boys once again,’” Walker told BoxingScene. “And he says, ‘No, you’re a golden boy as well.’ Which was humbling for me because, you know, he’s only ever brought me in to get beat in the past. But he’s on a level playing field here and he hasn’t got an agenda. So for me, it’s nice to hear that. So, yeah, there’s no agenda there, and he might be an Olympic silver medalist, but I’m the British champion. I’ve done things in the pros. His accolades are in the amateurs, mine are in the pros.”
