Eddie Hearn responds to Canelo Alvarez split as Mexican signs with rival promoter

Eddie Hearn has shrugged off his split with Canelo Alvarez after the Mexican fighter left Matchroom for a rival promoter.

Alvarez, with 59 wins and two draws from his 63 fights, is considered one of the greatest boxers of all time and currently holds the WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring super middleweight titles. And seven of his last eight contests have been promoted by Hearn and co, and shown live by DAZN.

But the 32-year-old has not signed a deal with Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions (PBC). The broadcaster has previously had the rights to the first two clashes between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder, and drew 800,000 viewers when Canelo fought Caleb Plant in 2021.
