Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is interested in venturing into the world of mixed martial arts (MMA) — and he would like to promote YouTuber Logan Paul’s first MMA fight.
Hearn — who notably promotes unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua — has already promoted Paul’s professional boxing debut when he fought fellow YouTuber KSI in a split decision loss back in November.
And the idea of promoting an MMA debut for “The Maverick” is something that appeals to Hearn.
“We know you have a wrestling background and I would actually like to move into MMA myself,” Hearn said to Paul in an Instagram Live session (via Evening Standard). “Definitely not doing it but promoting it. So, let’s launch Matchroom USA and MMA, Logan Paul in MMA.
“Is there an MMA fight in you? Do you think you’d probably be underrated in that discipline?”
As Hearn noted, Paul does have a background in wrestling from his college days. The YouTube sensation has repeatedly teased an MMA career in the past and was receptive to Hearn’s idea.
“That’s my secret, bro,” Paul said. “I need to do one MMA fight before I die, and I would love to do it with Matchroom Boxing or Matchroom MMA.”
Of course, die-hard boxing fans weren’t pleased with Paul’s professional debut and having him compete in MMA will certainly upset MMA fans as well. However, Paul has a legitimate worldwide following and will bring plenty of eyes to whatever he competes in.
So don’t be surprised if Bellator president Scott Coker, for example, is already in the process of figuring something out for Paul.
Do you think we’ll see Paul compete in MMA in the future?

Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn says Dana White is being “mad” by pressing ahead with UFC 249 on April 18.

The UFC President has been determined to hold events despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent global travel bans. He has been forced to postponed shows in London, Columbus, and Portland but insists UFC 249 will go ahead and he is now making plans to do weekly fights.
Hearn confesses he is usually the type of person to try press on at all costs but right now he has no interest in doing that, speaking to Express Sport he said.
“It’s unbelievable, I’d like to think that in boxing, there’s no-one more roll your sleeves up and get on with it than me. But even I wouldn’t consider staging an event right now. I’m not even thinking about options, not even on the radar.
“This is stubbornness,” Hearn added. These are many of the things that make him successful but at some point you have to sit back and say ‘white flag’. I’m quite surprised ESPN are going ahead with this, obviously they want ratings and money. But with Sky Sports and DAZN, I would not be allowed to stage events right now. It’s bad taste to be quite honest.”
“He wants to be a trailblazer, people have told him he can’t do it,” Hearn said. “But I know the feeling of being told something and you do it anyway. Half of me admires him for cracking on but the other half says ‘come on don’t be mad’.
“I was on the phone with Bob Arum yesterday with [Kubrat] Pulev’s team too and Arum’s like ‘I like you guys but why are we wasting our time on this call? Let’s speak at the end of the month and we’ll know more’,” Hearn added. “It hasn’t really affected our business too much. Financially we’re okay, other than some initial costs which we couldn’t get back.
“We’ve built up a decent business over the last eight years, we’re in a strong position with good liquidity.”
Is Eddie Hearn right to criticize Dana White for pressing ahead with events?
