Hearn wants to expand: Matchroom soon also in Germany?

Promoter Eddie Hearn wants his stable Matchroom Boxing to go global. The British promoter had already expanded three years ago as part of a DAZN deal and also established itself in the USA. According to Hearn, other pillars are to follow in other countries, including Canada, Australia, Japan – and Germany. All of these areas are scheduled to host regular matchroom events later this year. “The goal is global supremacy,” Hearn said loudly, “BoxingScene.com“. “The markets are Italy, Spain, Australia, Germany, Canada and Japan. Regular events will be held in all of these territories this year. “

Hearn has not yet announced any more precise plans for Germany. He went out to Australia and Japan, among others. “We are focusing on Australia at the end of 2021 and 2022. We will sign fighters to move there with DAZN and we will have big events there, ”said Hearn. Australia is very easy to understand for Matchroom Boxing. “Japan is a completely different market and a completely different culture. There is a lot of talent in Japan. We have Hiroto Kyoguchi (WBA light flyweight world champion; d. Ed.), There is also Naoya Inoue, Kenshiro Teraji, Ryota Murata. BOXSPORT reported), the German promoters could soon face competition in this country from Eddie Hearn.
