Hearn explains why he's not involved in Katie Taylor v Serrano 2 as promoter

Eddie Hearn has suggested that the money Katie Taylor was offered to fight on the same card as Mike Tyson's controversial bout with Jake Paul was too good to turn down for the Bray Bomber.

Puerto Rican Serrano, who Taylor defeated via split-decision in an all-time classic at Madison Square Garden in 2022, is promoted by YouTuber turned boxer Paul's Most Valuable Promotions, who will promote the July 20 event at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas."We negotiated the whole fight because it was the right opportunity for Katie Taylor," explained Hearn to Boxing Social.

"It's just honesty to say this is a good offer, we believe we can win the fight, lets take it. I'm not involved from a promotional point of view, be backing her 100% and we expect to come through." He said: "It's got nothing to do with the main event. It's just the right opportunity for my fighter, someone that we care about a lot, someone that deserves everything from the sport of boxing.
