Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has denied reports that he signed UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan to a promotional deal, stating that their recent meeting was "just some breakfast."
Hearn, the chairman of Matchroom Boxing, addressed speculation after being photographed with Tsarukyan. He clarified that no contract had been signed and the encounter was merely a casual meal.
The denial comes amid ongoing discussions about potential crossover fights between boxing and mixed martial arts. Hearn was in Hammersmith, England, on September 30, 2026, for the announcement of the upcoming Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight, which is scheduled to stream live on Netflix on December 11.
