Hearn revealed through his Twitter account that he has reached an agreement for British contender Callum Johnson (17-0, 12 KOs) to challenge IBF light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev (12-0, 12 KOs). According to Hearn, whose company promotes Johnson, their fight for Beterbiev’s 175-pound championship will take place October 6 at an undetermined location in the United States.
The Beterbiev-Johnson fight is expected to be streamed by DAZN as part of Hearn’s content deal with Perform Group. That agreement – which could last eight years and become worth $1 billion – was officially announced last month in New York.
