Color and quotes — not a stack of new official bookings. Where Kimster already has the straight news, we link it and stay in our lane.
This is an offer discussed on a show, not a booked fight. Nothing is signed, and Hearn vs. White is not official. iFL TV captioned an interview with Kalle Sauerland: "THROW IN A PRIVATE JET." The caption says he "discusses the finer details of his offer for Eddie Hearn to fight Dana White despite White claiming to have received nothing."
That "received nothing" line is iFL's wording, not a verbatim White quote. The denial we can put in White's own words is earlier: after a Zuffa show in London, White told All Out Fighting, as quoted by MMA Fighting on Nov. 9: "They have definitely not sent me an offer, but I've heard of this."
This sits next to the Hearn–Coppinger / Zuffa row already in 336 — color on the same feud, not a new official booking.
This is MVP's campaign, not a new WBA ruling. The ruling itself is already in Kimster 315: the WBA upheld Floyd Schofield's win over Lucas Bahdi and denied a rematch. We are not re-reporting those facts here.
Most Valuable Promotions posted an official statement. The new part is the ask. One of the graphics reads: "WHILE THE WBA HAS ELECTED TO UPHOLD THE ORIGINAL RESULT AND DENY AN IMMEDIATE REMATCH, WE FIRMLY BELIEVE ITS OWN FINDINGS DEMONSTRATE THAT LUCAS DESERVES ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE FOR THE WBA LIGHTWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP." And: "A FIGHT IMPACTED BY OFFICIATING ERRORS OF THIS MAGNITUDE DESERVES A DEFINITIVE RESOLUTION IN THE RING, AND WE WILL CONTINUE WORKING TO SECURE THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR LUCAS."
The statement also recaps the WBA review. For those findings, see 315. Schofield's first mandatory is already the order in 312. The WBA homepage, checked this afternoon, still had no new rematch announcement. There is no Lucas Bahdi or Floyd Schofield fighter page in the BoxBid list.
This is unconfirmed speculation. BoxingNews24 (Tom Galm) headlines the piece "Eddie Hearn in Contract Talks With Unnamed World Champion." We are not guessing a name.
In the article, BN24 writes that Hearn "is hinting at signing two American fighters, including a world champion," that he has talked with WBO light welterweight champion Shakur Stevenson and former lightweight champion Keyshawn Davis, and that "Hearn says he doesn't have either ready to sign yet." BN24 quotes Hearn, speaking to iFL TV: "I don't have anything at contractual stage with Shakur Stevenson or Keyshawn Davis, but I would love to sign both." BN24 also writes that Hearn "says he's in talks with 7 total fighters. Shakur and Keyshawn, plus 2 unnamed fighters at the contract stage, plus three others." Those two at "contract stage" are unnamed in the piece, and we are leaving them unnamed.
Separately, BN24 (Scott Gilfoid) reports that Raymond Ford's Matchroom deal is up, quoting Hearn to iFL TV: "His contract's up with us at the moment. We'll see what happens." That is not a new signing, and it is not a clue to the unnamed champion.
Fighter pages: Shakur Stevenson, Keyshawn Davis. There is no Raymond Ford fighter page in the BoxBid list.
Which of these actually turns into a poster first — a Hearn–White exhibition, or just Bahdi getting that other night? Tell us in the comments, then browse BoxBid Play.
