Hearn found his way into management in the golf world. Later, he returned to Matchroom and has not looked back. 

Eddie Hearn promoted heavyweight legend Wladimir Klitschko's final fight at a famous British soccer stadium- Wembley. The event drew a crowd of over 90,000 people and saw 'AJ' ascend in the heavyweight boxing scene as he added the WBA (Super) and WBO titles to his IBF belt.  

A year later, Hearn secured a deal to propel his talent on the other side of the pond. Matchroom and DAZN signed a deal worth $1 billion to broadcast Matchroom boxing events.

Furthermore, the promoter was behind the infamous KSI vs Logan Paul boxing fight that drew the attention of casual fans and entertainment aficionados to the squared circle.
