Hearn has been dominating in a sports promotion for decades, transforming a snooker into a matrix, presenting Dennis Taylor, Steve Davis and Jimmy White, while providing spectacular boxing matches to the British audience by promoting warriors such as Anthony Joshua. Darts also experienced the profitable influence of Hearna and his son, who is now the president of Matchroom Sports and PDC. These sports legends are only a fraction of those in which Matchroom has determined his position, but fresh disclosure indicate that the founder and president of the company may consider a lucrative output.

Appearing on the Netflix website, which offered viewers a perspective of his son confidential on Hearn and the enterprise of his son, the 77-year-old revealed: “IT [Matchroom] It is now worth north of 1 billion pounds. I’m not going to play my fortune. But if the appropriate contract appears, the sale of matches is not excluded. “

Eddie reveals: “I just talked from Turki [Al-Sheikh]. He says: “To inform, keep confidential that we are trying to buy a match.”

Hearn replied: “So what does he say about Turki al-Sheikh about the fact that he wants to buy matchroom. Where does it come from? What is it good to say when he didn’t even talk about it.

“Life becomes a bit complicated. It is about … keeping things as straightforward as possible, but inevitably, due to the size of the business, we enter the situation or situations that we have never expected before. I plan to go out, not only from business, from my life, and I want to make sure that my heritage is protected and anyone who wants to invest in our company – and this is our company – not only Is.

“If Jesus has fallen, there is a criteria before I allow him to make a board. The same applies to Turki. It is a solemn, solemn movement and there is no rush. We do not give no one with anyone. We take it at our own pace.”

Eddie also revealed the price for Matchroom, stating that it is 1.5 billion GBP. Both CEO of Hearn and PDC, Matt Porter, are then seen in the PDC World Darts Championship final, where the topic of sales of Saudi Arabia returns.

“I just try to design characters to the lower line, especially if Saudi came, because … it throws it all … I mean, I don’t even know … As he said, he buys a plot,” Hearn said before he continued the camera. “It is natural when Saudis develop, that they want to be involved with the best of the best. Do not keep looking. It’s us. And I thought:” I think it is a great compliment. But it’s a long way before it is possible. “

Oleksandr Usyk defended his world title in Riyad, defeating kickboxing icon Rico Verhoeven in the 11th round.

Verhoeven turned out to be a much tougher test for Usyk than many expected.

From the first bell, the Dutchman proved to be a problem, firing two tidy shots – one from above straight into the champion’s jaw, and the other a nasty shot to the body.

To the surprise of many, Verhoeven dominated most of the fight, with many viewers scoring just two or three rounds in favor of the Ukrainian.

Not only was Verhoeven in control, but he appeared to have hurt Usyk on numerous occasions, who looked nothing like the elusive champion we had become so accustomed to over the years.

Verhoeven went down in the 11th minute and went over the count before the referee led him to the corner to adjust his mouthpiece.

Ten seconds into the penultimate round, Usyk launched a brutal attack that injured Verhoeven, but he continued to fight. Nevertheless, the referee stepped in at 2:59 of the 11th round and called off the fight.

Many were outraged by the stoppage, with Derek Chisora ​​calling it a “assault” and Ryan Garcia believing the round was already over by the time the referee stepped in.

In an in-ring interview after his victory, Usyk admitted that his opponent was right.
