Overview
- Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn said on The Ariel Helwani Show that Zuffa Boxing approached Joshua a couple of weeks ago.
- According to Hearn, Joshua immediately forwarded a screenshot of the outreach and asked how to reply.
- Hearn noted that Joshua’s long-term agreement with Matchroom effectively prevents a move to a rival promoter.
- Zuffa Boxing recently secured Conor Benn on a reported one-fight $15 million deal after his Matchroom contract expired, ending a 10-year association.
- Hearn responded on the commercial front by adding UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall to the Matchroom Talent Agency in an advisory role while he remains under UFC contract.
