Eddie Hirn is not afraid of the potential absorption of boxing Tko: “These guys will not be able to lace my shoes”

In early March and President of Turki Alalshikh, the General Director of UFC Dan White and Nick Khan President, TKO announced their entrance to the boxing market in early March, but still little is known about their probable roles as leading promoters for the planned Caneli Saul against Ternas Crourford in Sentyaba.

Although some consider TKO as a serious threat to the traditional boxing promoters, Eddie Hirn from Matchroom holds a different look.

“I think that Dana, included in the box, will become brilliant for boxing,” said Hirn Nekofield during the appearance of Ariel Helvani show on Tuesday.

“If you return yourself – these guys, in my opinion, will not be able to lace my boots in the promotion.

“If you think that you are going to control this world, that they really did in MMA – and I think that this is a similar model that they will try to add to boxing – I do not think that this is possible.

“It will be interesting how all this is located,” Hirn continued. “I really don’t think that this is still penetrating the world of boxing. I think that they are going to come, create this league, young prospects, some guys who are ready for the 50-50s, and guys who (are at this level). We had a situation the other day when we had a struggle that was the fourth on the map, and it was a B-Sight Boit, and they said, “Oh, I am not going to be accessible for this because I registered. And how, with all due respect, I do not want to be rude: “You?!”

Hirn confirmed his belief that TKO in boxing will be concentrated on less famous fighters who will be less expensive, and who may have more control from the point of view of matchmaking.

With the release of Showtime from boxing and the subsequent end of Shobox, as well as on the death of Conferender tournaments from television networks in the United States, a gap for a development series has occurred on the boxing market. ProvoXTV tried to fill this void, but cannot create fighters profiles as successfully without the main network.

Tko could fill this vacancy in the “League” format with the participation of younger fighters, in fact, building the stars from the bottom up.

Hirn, however, doubts whether Tko will be successful in the monopolization of the boxing market in the short term, indicating competition and fragmented nature of sports as potential obstacles.

“Dana is a great guy. He is a very smart, (UFC) business is an incredible business, ”Hirn said. “In my opinion, they are not going to come and fail. But this is just the size of what they do and achieved will be very interesting. I will be honest, I’m not afraid of it.

“It doesn’t matter who is involved. You still have to come and break the system (and beat) the opposition. If you think that people like people, people like (Golden Boy’s) Oscar de la Hoya, people, such as (Top Rank’s’s), Bob Arum, people like Frank Warren are going to turn over and go, it was excellent, which is not like that, not so.

Basically, the controversial step of TKO began to process amendments to the law of Muhammad Ali, which was developed to protect boxers from use. Although it is not clear what other specific amendments are discussed, Tko seeks that boxers fight for TKO belts, and not on the WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF belts, mainly used in professional boxing.

“Ali law is intended to protect the fighter and protect the fighter,” Hirn said. “Therefore, if there are variations of this and a kind of strategy to remove it or change it, for me it is where the fighter will be,“ Hold on, Ali is an act to protect me. Why do you want to change it? “

Hirn believes that one of the biggest TKOs in boxing will be the negative reaction of athletes in other sports facilities TKO-UFC White and WWE Khan, when they learn how many companies will pay the same rooms with paid viewing.

In past years, approximately 18.6% of the revenue from the events of the UFC was paid to fighters, while in boxing these numbers can often be turned in the other direction.

“If they promote Canelo’-Crawford, the total cost of these wallets is, call, somewhere from 120 (million) to $ 150 million,” Hirn said.

“If you are performing with this, and you are promoting the service, and this fight makes a purchase for one and a half million (payment for viewing) or something else means that it means that when the UFC fighter does one and a half million, they are also going to earn $ 100 million?”

Chris Yubank is Jr. against Conor Benn 2

Hirn confirmed that at the end of September, at the Hottenham Hottenham stadium, it was planned that at the end of September, a revenge is planned at Hottenham Hottenham.

Yubank won the competitive unanimous solution (116-112, 116-112, 116-112) over Benn in the struggle in the opponent’s years in front of the crowd of 67,484 at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium last Saturday.

Yubank and Benn created a SLAGFEST, which the British box would never forget, with his fathers – Chris Yubank – Sr. and Nigel Benn, who themselves twice shared the ring in the 1990s for two historical battles – observing along with the Rings. The event was a great success for sports throughout the pond.

“Very close (up to 1 million purchases with payment for viewing in the UK),” Hirn said about Yubank against Benn. “They will need some time to miss it – more than 1 million people around the world. DAZN succeeded. “

Yubank missed the weight for the fight by 0.05 pounds and seemed exhausted on the scales on official weighing, and then on ceremonial weighing. The British boxer was also taken to the hospital after a brutal struggle for precautions, which forced some to believe that Yubank has grown out a 160-pound medium-weight division.

Despite this, Hirn said UncroneD that the match-match Eubank vs. Benn is signed for contesting 160 pounds using a 10-pound reservation about re-hydration-the same conditions as their first battle.

Benn was an antagonist throughout the construction and in battle, but even some of Benn’s largest bullets have since expressed respect for his sand show against a much larger Yubank.

“He never stopped trying to win the battle, and this is what fans love,” Hirn said about Benne. “He did not try to survive and stay, he tried to knock out the Yubank in (rounds) 11 and 12, while he shot in these rounds.

“Conor Benn trains stronger than any fighter whom I met once, and the guy grew up in the mansion. The youngest wanted it to be bad, and he grew up in this (the same) environment. Do not underestimate the one who is fire in their heart. What you testified on Saturday is quite surprising to see two children from this (privileged) background showing a lot in the transites, and this was just.

Anthony Joshua against Tyson Fury

The day after Yubank and Benn gave the British fans the struggle over the centuries, the news reported that the indisputable Boxing championship in heavyweight will be disputed for the first time on British land in an era with four shots when Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois combine the names on July 19 at Wembley stadium.

All signs indicate that 2025 is becoming a vintage year for sports in the UK, but Hirn still hopes that the largest of them is still ahead. Despite the last resignation of Tyson Fury from boxing, Hirn did not give up hope when he saw the “rage” at Anthony Joshua after a while this year.

“It just comes down to Tyson Fury, is probably connected with AJ,” Hirn said. “When you have two guys of this level, I think, sometimes it’s just a small DM, saying:“ Do you like it? “

It is known that long -term negotiations between Terens Crawford and Errol Spent achieved significant progress when the couple talked directly by phone in May 2023. Crawford and Spence ultimately fought in July of the same year.

“Hey Jaja had a small injury with which he dealt, so we do not look like we left for the ring,” Hirn said. “He will fight this year, but at the same time AJ received somewhere between one and three remaining battles. Who are you really going to fight with? If Dubois defeated usyk, he could fight with Usyk for the indisputable (title), it would be great. (Joseph Parker) Yes, maybe.

“For me, I think that sooner or later, rage will appear (get involved). I think that rage is the guy who would watch on Saturday (Yubank against Benn) and left: “Wow, let’s do it.” No matter how Eubank Benn is, Fury is simple (another level).
