Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn is expected to increase his influence in rugby union after holding talks with Premiership bosses in Monaco last week.
Hearn, who is associated with Matchroom, met senior figures from the Premiership during the discussions. The meeting is understood to have raised expectations that he could become more involved in the competition.
No further details have been provided about the nature of Hearn’s potential role or the areas in which his influence may expand. The meeting nevertheless signals an interest in bringing his experience from boxing into the rugby union landscape.
The immediate outcome of the talks has not been announced, and it remains unclear what form any increased involvement would take.
