Eddie Hearn Names the Fight Which “Sells Out the Stadium” for Devin Haney

Devin Haney hit a home run through the fight against Regis Prograis! So much so that ‘The Dream’ Haney is in the talks to fight some of the biggest names in boxing. Gervonta Davis, Ryan Garcia, and more are all possible fights for the Las Vegas resident. However, in a surprising turn of events, Eddie Hearn revealed the best possible opponent for Haney.

The former undisputed champion became a two-division titlist by defeating Regis Prograis during the 15 December fight. It also cleared any doubt that might have made a home among people after Haney’s fight against Vasiliy Lomachenko. However, after a stellar performance from Haney, the question is – who is brave enough to face the undefeated Haney?

Eddie Hearn claims Devin Haney demanded this fight opponent

During a recent interview with Fight Hub TV, the famous boxing promoter revealed that The Dream messaged him, demanding a fight against none other than Conor Benn. “Devin messaged me and said give me Conor Benn,” Hearn told Fight Hub TV. When the reporter probed Hearn further about the location of the potential fight.

Hearn confidently asserted that the fight would sell out an entire stadium in the United Kingdom. He even added that if Haney takes the fight and sells out a stadium in the UK, it would look good for him. “Yeah, it sells out a stadium in the UK. So, that would be a cool look for Devin to take that, but we will see,” said Hearn. While a fight between Benn and Haney seems possible, Hearn labeled Chris Eubank Jr. delusional in a recent interview. 

Eddie Hearn says Chris Eubank Jr. is delusional

The verdict for the long-awaited fight between Benn and Eubank Jr. is finally here, and it’s not a good one. Turns out that their fight is officially off! However, Hearn wasn’t having it, so he labeled Eubank Jr. delusional in an interview with iFL TV. When asked about why the fight failed to become a reality, Hearn stated, “Delusion. To be fair to Conor. Conor said to me, ‘I don’t think he’ll take the fight.’” 

He went on to suggest that he did not agree with Benn because of the money Eubank Jr. was offered for the fight. “I don’t share his opinion because I’ve seen the offer. It’s so much money, it’s 3x more money than Eubank has ever made, probably more,” said Hearn. Despite all this, Hearn claimed that the fight still has a chance of happening. “I still think the fight may happen,” said Hearn.
