He said, “I am here, and I am available, and I am very cheap.” The fight talks between the two recently took an interesting turn.
Hearn further revealed that he is not following influencer boxing and is not aware of the latest updates in the domain.

And, talking about the magnitude of this fight, Hearn said, “Could be massive. If it did materialize, it would be huge.”
