'A leap of faith!' - Eddie Hearn recalls DAZN history as Frank Warren arrives at home of boxing
Eddie Hearn has opened up on the genesis of his relationship with DAZN as Frank Warren arrives at the streamer, admitting he took "a leap of faith" to join them.
The Matchroom boss will be joined by his Queensberry rival-turned-friend at the global home of boxing this April after the latter signed an exclusive deal.
It comes amid improved relations between the pair of leading promoters, who have worked closely together in recent years on Riyadh Season events, also live on DAZN.
On DAZN's Ariel x Ade: The Boxing Show this week, Hearn admitted that it had been a gamble to join originally, but stressed he has been delighted with the results.
"We took a chance, really," he said. "We had a massive exclusive deal with Sky Sports, and they wanted to renew with us.

"We took the leap of faith with an app, really, that outside of existing domestic rights, no-one really knew [as a] brand in the world of boxing.
"When you sit down with these people, you look at the level of investment. It's the global element. It doesn't matter where we are in the world, there is one place to watch,.
"That is what fascinated us. It's a global message. It doesn't matter if we're in Australia or Mexico, it's on DAZN. We're really pleased."
