Eddie Hearn, the head of Matchroom Boxing, appears to be reinforcing fighter contracts, a move prompted by his admission of misjudging the circumstances surrounding Conor Benn’s exit from the company. This strategic shift indicates Matchroom’s increased focus on securing long-term commitments, particularly with its younger talent, following Benn’s unexpected departure. As part of this renewed emphasis, Matchroom recently confirmed new deals for British middleweight George Liddard and promising lightweight Giorgio Visioli.
