Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has denied reports that he signed UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan to a promotional deal, stating that their recent meeting was merely a casual breakfast.
Hearn, chairman of Matchroom Boxing, addressed speculation after photos of the two together circulated on social media. "It was just some breakfast," Hearn said, dismissing suggestions of a contractual agreement.
Tsarukyan, a top-ranked UFC lightweight, has been linked with a potential move to boxing or a crossover event, but Hearn's comments indicate no formal deal is in place.
