Asked if celebrities have wanted to do charity fights, Hearn told talkSPORT: "Yeah, loads. But more like people like Wayne Rooney.

"I've got a podcast, he was on there recently, he loves it. He's been boxing in amateur clubs.

"Wayne would love to do a charity fight. All these guys, they love boxing."
