Eddie Hearn believes that a pandemic coronavirus changes business of boxing. The British promoter is convinced that after the countries cope with these problems, the boxing fans will get the fights they are really waiting for.

"This situation has forced everybody to realize that there's no guarantee for the future, anything can happen. Do not put off anything until later, because later may never come. Boxers have realized that all the big fights should be organized now, because it might not be the last such a virus attack. If fighters do not fight, they do not earn. After a long break, everyone will want to earn maximum, and only big fights will give such an opportunity," the head of promotional organization Matchroom Boxing said.

"Once we get through the epidemic, each sport will compete for the attention of fans. We can only do this by offering them the best product. And these will be fights not to be missed. There will be no delay," said Hearn.

Matchroom Boxing is preparing for the first night of boxing in June. In July Hearn would like to start the organization of major events that will be displayed in the British Isles by the system of Pay-Per-View.
