Eddie Hearn shares heartfelt story of bonding with UFC superstar Conor McGregor

Matchroom Boxing's chairman, Eddie Hearn, has developed a friendship with UFC superstar Conor McGregor.

During the Day of Reckoning boxing event last year, Hearn spoke with TNT Sports about his first encounter with McGregor. He said:

“He’s the man. Conor McGregor. First met Conor McGregor actually in Boston, at a Katie Taylor fight four or five years ago now, and recently linked up with Forged Irish Stout, one of his brands, at the Katie Taylor-Chantelle Cameron fight in Dublin. What a wild experience, down his pub in Dublin, what a top man, what a character.”

Hearn added:

''We speak every week, sometimes most days about boxing, about fights coming up... [He] supports a lot of our fighters, and a massive supporter of Katie Taylor.''
