SME News Balkan. Predsjednik Matchroom Boxinga Eddie Hearn<\/strong> priznao je da se osje\u0107a \"prili\u010dno shrvano\" nakon britanskog velter kategorije Conor Benn<\/strong> prekinuli su dugogodi\u0161nje partnerstvo kako bi potpisali ugovor sa Zuffa Boxing<\/strong>, novi promotivni poduhvat koji podr\u017eava predsjednik UFC-a Dana White<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ovaj potez ozna\u010dava zna\u010dajnu promjenu u bokserskom svijetu, a Benn postaje jedan od prvih poznatih britanskih boraca koji se pridru\u017eio Whiteovom bokserskom brendu u nastajanju.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Hearn reaguje na Bennov odlazak<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

U razgovoru za IFL TV, Hearn je otkrio da je bio \u0161okiran na\u010dinom na koji je Benn odlazio nakon skoro decenije zajedno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eJa li\u010dno, prili\u010dno sam shrvan\u201c, rekao je Hearn. \u201eNije \u010desto da se \u0161okira\u0161. Krivim sebe. Pogre\u0161no sam procijenio lik.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prema Hearnu, zvani\u010dno obavje\u0161tenje o raskidu je primio putem e-maila od Bennovog advokata i nije mu bio dozvoljen direktan telefonski razgovor s 29-godi\u0161njim borcem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eZa sve \u0161to sam uradio, zaslu\u017eujem poziv\u201c, izjavio je Hearn. \u201eNa\u010din na koji se sve odvijalo, dobiti e-mail od advokata, a zatim tra\u017eiti poziv bez spremnosti da ga primite, jednostavno izgubite dio svoje du\u0161e.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Decenija zajedno: Usponi i padovi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Benn je postao profesionalac pod zastavom Matchrooma i brzo se istaknuo kao jedan od najuzbudljivijih britanskih velterka\u0161a. Sin biv\u0161eg svjetskog prvaka Nigel Benn<\/strong>, stvorio je zamah prema blokbaster obra\u010dunu sa Chris Eubank Jr.<\/strong>, ponovo rasplamsavaju\u0107i jedno od najpoznatijih rivalstava u britanskom boksu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me\u0111utim, njihova prva zakazana borba 2022. godine otkazana je nakon \u0161to je Benn bio pozitivan na zabranjenu supstancu. Kontroverza je dovela do dugotrajne borbe da o\u010disti svoje ime i povrati boksersku licencu u Velikoj Britaniji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tokom tog turbulentnog perioda, Matchroom je stajao uz Benna, promoviraju\u0107i njegove povratni\u010dke me\u010deve u Sjedinjenim Dr\u017eavama dok su se rje\u0161avali problemi s licencom. Dugo o\u010dekivani sukob s Eubankom Jr. kona\u010dno se dogodio u aprilu 2025. godine, a Eubank je odnio pobjedu. Benn je odgovorio pobjedom u revan\u0161u u novembru, vra\u0107aju\u0107i zamah svojoj karijeri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearn je spomenuo tu lojalnost kada je govorio o raskidu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eMnogo sam dao. Vjerovao sam mu i podr\u017eavao ga i nikada nisam popustio kada je zavr\u0161io. Pozajmio sam mu stotine hiljada funti\u201c, rekao je Hearn. \u201eMislim da je na\u010din na koji je to ura\u0111eno bio jako, jako pogre\u0161an.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Bennova izjava o pridru\u017eivanju Zuffa Boxingu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

U objavi na Instagramu u kojoj je najavio svoj potez, Benn je izrazio zahvalnost Matchroomu, istovremeno prihvataju\u0107i novo poglavlje u \u017eivotu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201ePrije svega, \u017eelim se zahvaliti Eddieju i cijelom timu u Matchroomu na svemu \u0161to su u\u010dinili za mene u protekloj deceniji\u201c, napisao je Benn. \u201eOd vo\u0111enja kada sam prvi put postao profesionalac, do glavnih zvijezda stadionskih koncerata. Nisu bili samo uz mene u tim najva\u017enijim trenucima, ve\u0107 su stajali rame uz rame sa mnom i tokom te\u0161kih vremena.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dodao je da je \"ispunjen uzbu\u0111enjem i \u017eeljom za onim \u0161to ga \u010deka sa Zuffa Boxingom\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Pore\u0111enje sa Anthonyjem Joshuom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Na pitanje da li je Benn druga najvrednija imovina Matchrooma, odmah iza Anthony Joshua<\/strong>Hearn je povukao jasnu razliku izme\u0111u dvojice boraca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eNe mo\u017eete ih spomenuti na isti na\u010din, iz mnogo razloga\u201c, rekao je Hearn. \u201eJoshua je druga\u010dija vrsta po klasi i odanosti. Joshua je jedinstven. On je izrezan iz druga\u010dije tkanine.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u0160ta Bennov potez zna\u010di za boks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bennova odluka da se pridru\u017ei Zuffa Boxingu signalizira potencijalno transformativni trenutak za ovaj sport. S obzirom na to da Dana White \u017eeli poremetiti tradicionalne promotivne strukture, stjecanje provjerenog imena za pla\u0107anje po gledanju u Velikoj Britaniji ja\u010da Zuffin kredibilitet od samog po\u010detka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Za Matchroom, gubitak doma\u0107e zvijezde predstavlja i emocionalni i komercijalni udarac. Za Benna, kockanje bi moglo otvoriti vrata novim globalnim parovima i mogu\u0107nostima za upoznavanje i saradnju.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kako se promotivni pejza\u017e boksa razvija, sve o\u010di \u0107e sada biti uprte u to kako Zuffa Boxing pozicionira Benna - i da li partnerstvo mijenja ravnote\u017eu snaga u sportu.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
