Asked about reports that Pacheco was leaving Matchroom for Golden Boy, Hearn dismissed the suggestion.
“That’s one of the bizarre rumors I’ve ever heard. That’s definitely not the case. Diego Pacheco’s future might be unveiled. I’ll say the following week, however it could even be as soon as the following 24, 48 hours,” said Hesrn to iFL TV.
Hearn also revealed that Pacheco’s next bout is planned for Los Angeles, where he’ll headline his own event.
“He’ll fight in Los Angeles on his own show,” said Hearn about Pacheco.
The comments come after a period of uncertainty surrounding Pacheco’s immediate future. The unbeaten contender stays one in every of Matchroom’s top American fighters and a distinguished name within the super middleweight division.
While Hearn ruled out the Golden Boy reports, he stopped in need of confirming Pacheco’s long-term promotional plans. Asked whether Pacheco had prolonged his agreement with Matchroom, Hearn said the situation stays unresolved.
“He has one fight left with us. So, we will see,” said Hearn.
Hearn didn’t reveal Pacheco’s opponent but made it clear that an announcement is predicted soon as Matchroom continues constructing its summer schedule.
The 25-year-old is predicted to return in Los Angeles in what might be his first fight since his unanimous decision victory over Trevor McCumby earlier this 12 months.
