I hope Beterbiev can sign with him and get away from his current manager.

I hope Beterbiev can sign with him and get away from his current manager.

At the news conference, DAZN said it will announce the pricing of the service and the early Matchroom Boxing schedule, which is expected to kick off Sept. 22 with the expected fight between unified heavyweight world titlist Anthony Joshua and mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin at Wembley Stadium in London.

Hearn is also expected to announce the signing of other fighters to his stable who would appear on DAZN; among them are middleweight contender and former two-time junior middleweight world titlist Demetrius Andrade (25-0, 16 KOs), who recently became a promotional free agent after buying out co-promoters Banner Promotions and Star Boxing, and light heavyweight titlist Artur Beterbiev (12-0, 12 KOs), whom Hearn has entered into a co-promotional deal with Yvon Michel for the next three fights. Beterbiev is due to make his first title defense against mandatory challenger Callum Johnson (17-0, 12 KOs), a Matchroom Boxing-promoted fighter, on Oct. 6 on a DAZN card.

well, Eddie has taken a big enough share of major divisions that he's made himself an unpleasant reality in the face of other fighters: if they want their careers to truly be as big as they can be, they're going to have to work with Eddie at some point. Beterbiev at 175, Bivol at 175, AJ at heavy, Roman at 122, Hooker at 140, Yafai at 115, Burnett at 118, he's going to have a lot of titles to hold hostage. And that's before we get into the big name guys he has or the guys he could sign like Broner, Hurd, and the Charlos.

Also at today's New York news conference Hearn will announce the signing of former two-time junior middleweight titlist Demetrius Andrade, former junior welterweight and welterweight titlist Jessie Vargas, junior featherweight titlist Danny Roman and junior welterweight titlist Maurice Hooker as well as several promising American amateurs.
