The Matchroom promoter spoke to the AK & Barak Show on DAZN and said, “Yea, we could do that. [sign the contract live] I just can’t tell you when that’s going to be. So we’ll have to give you a heads up.”
This comment showed the belief Hearn has about the fight happening. Generally, fighters sign contracts and then announce it since a bout could fall through even at the last second. However, the English promoter seems confident that the deal will be official.
But, the comment also highlighted the issue that Hearn himself does not know when they will sign the contracts.
