Promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed the marquee fight he wants to make in the US.
Speaking on Thursday at the press conference for Jaime Munguia vs. John Ryder, which takes place on Saturday night live on DAZN, Hearn is hoping his promotional outfit can make a fight between WBC super lightweight champion Devin Haney and Ryan Garica, who is affiliated with Oscar de la Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions.
Saturday's clash between Munguia and Ryder sees both Matchroom and Golden Boy working together on the promotional front, and Hearn is eager for this partnership to continue as he looks to make what would be a huge matchup in the United States.
"And I think Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia is a very makeable fight — and it's right there" Hearn told ProBox TV when discussing the possibility of a Haney and Garcia matchup.
The British promoter then named a possible location for the contest and it's no surprise which city he thinks would be a suitable host.
"But you know Vegas is going to give you the gate and allow you to make those big fights," Hearn continued.
"That would be a Vegas fight."
