As Eddie Hearn Wraps Up Blockbuster Canelo Alvarez Fight, Legendary Promoter Announces Big Conor McGregor Collaboration

The return of Conor McGregor to the octagon has been the talk of the town. However, it seems like the road to his much-anticipated comeback is not all so smooth after all. Despite being touted to make a grand comeback this year, there hasn’t been any official announcement yet, leaving fans hanging in uncertainty. The Irishman’s ongoing issues with the USADA and his external shenanigans also make for a significant setback in jeopardizing his return.

On the flip side, amidst all the uncertainty, it seems like boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has teased a major collaboration with the UFC superstar. Hearn, who is also the Matchroom Sport chairman, recently witnessed massive success with the Canelo Alvarez vs. John Ryder match, which did incredible numbers on pay-per-view. Now, the 43-year-old promoter seems to have big plans with the former double champ.

This isn’t the first time Hearn and McGregor have connected. They previously collaborated to bring Irish boxer Katie Taylor to fight at Croke Park. McGregor even generously offered to sponsor the event’s security costs. However, the details of their upcoming collaboration remain under wraps, leaving fans to speculate and anticipate with bated breath. Nevertheless, it goes without saying that the collaboration is expected to be exciting.
