Hearn: 'Cabayel demanded to double the fee, and Ruiz did not get in touch'

Andrew Karlov Aug. 9, 2023, 4:27 a.m.

Eddie Hearn explained the choice Robert Helenius (32-4, 21 KOs) against Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs). According to the British promoter, Andy Ruiz (35-2, 22 KOs) allegedly volunteered, but only on social networks. In the background, there were negotiations with Agit Kabayel (23-0, 15 KOs). Negotiations with him were conducted even before Dillian Whyte's positive doping test, and it was he who was to become the successor.

“We agreed with Kabayel, but he demanded to double the rate. Andy Ruiz tweeted and that's it, he never contacted us. One way or another, he probably would have wanted at least $10 million, and after we abandoned pay-per-view, our budget was significantly reduced, ”explained the head of Matchroom.
