Hearn announced the shock news on Thursday evening with Aspinall having signed to his newly-formed Matchroom Talent Agency in Monaco on Wednesday. The launch of this arm sees Hearn moving into mixed martial arts with Aspinall announced as his first new client. In signing UFC heavyweight champion Aspinall, Hearn could now effectively do business with rival White in the latter's predominant sport. Grounded in honesty and fierce commitment, Matchroom Talent Agency is about transforming careers through relentless ambition and telling it straight. Benn's first bout as a Zuffa Boxing fighter will be against Regis Prograis on April 11 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
