Dana White normally has adversarial relationships with boxing promoters, but Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn is a rare exception. They have mutual respect for each other, Hearn has openly admitted to taking inspiration from the UFC when running his own shows, and now he wants to do a crossover matchup between Dillian Whyte and Francis Ngannou.
Yup.
Hearn said on Instagram that Ngannou was interested in taking on the British heavyweight boxing contender in a boxing match, and later told Sky Sports that he “wouldn’t be surprised” if it happened at the end of this year.
