Weekend Edition: Eddie Hearn talks Ricky Hatton & still trying to escape dad's shadow - The Sports Agents

The News Agents

Friday, 19 September 2025 - 32 minutes

Eddie Hearn sits down with Gabby & Mark to talk about the evolution of Matchroom from a £100 sports promotion company, formed under under the staircase of the Romford Snooker Club, to a billion pound global behemoth.

Eddie speaks openly about still trying to impress his Dad, Matchroom founder Barry Hearn, planning for life after Anthony Joshua and his pain at how much more profitable the darts is than the boxing!

And in the week we lost ‘The Hitman’ Ricky Hatton - Eddie also pays tribute to one of the most loved boxers this country has ever produced.

New episodes every Tuesday, Thursday & Friday.
