Eddie Hearn has revealed a transatlantic super-fight between Conor Benn and Ryan Garcia could become a reality if the former's rematch with Chris Eubank Jr fails to materialize later this year. Yet if that plan goes up in smoke, and a weight-drained Eubank Jr snubs his contracted rematch with Benn, Hearn's welterweight charge will be raring to go. 'I thought it was a very close fight,' Hearn said. 'Last time he did lose his mind at times in that build-up,' Hearn said when previewing Garcia's return on Friday night. Hearn is enthralled by the prospect of Friday's Times Square blockbuster after what he insists was the toughest logistical mission the sport of boxing has ever served up.
