    This would be incredibly irresponsible, Coyle is already borderline punch drunk, Hooker could seriously mash Coyles remaining brain cells.

    That makes zero sense. How can Hearn name three guys, one elite guy, one fringe world level and one British domestic level guy? It’s like he just thinks off the top of his head who is available?

    I think Hearn wants the US fans to experience the UK atmosphere to build the understanding of the shows he is trying to create. Coyle would bring a massive following out to Dallas for a world title fight and create the Matchroom feel. Not saying Coyle deserves it, just think Hearn is staring to realise he needs to bring the UK to the US to create a buzz.

    Pretty sure Hearn also said not too long ago that he’d promised Coyle a fight in the US (as he’d always wanted to fight there) before having a retirement fight against someone like Ritson.

    It's classic Hearn.

    Present three options even though we all know its gonna be Tommy Coyle.

    Like with Joshuas Wembley date, he mentions Wilder and Usyk even though we all know its Dillian Whyte.

    Yeah and he delivered it when Coyle fought in Boston last month!
    A Hooker v Coyle fight is like the old first up voluntary defence champs used to have or the run of the mill pbc fight. Hooker deserves an easy pay day anyway.
