EDDIE HEARN was left red-faced after he accidentally invited a random fan to his Instagram live chat instead of Logan Paul.
The Matchroom promoter wanted to talk to the American YouTuber to discuss whether he would have an MMA fight.
Eddie Hearn was greeted by an unfamiliar face on Instagram live
Hearn expected to see Paul’s face flash up on his screen as he said: “The main man. Yo!”
But the 40-year-old “pressed the wrong button” and accepted a random fan’s request to join the live chat on Instagram.
The fan initially hid his face from the camera, but confidently said: “What’s good Eddie Hearn.”
Before realising it was not Paul, Hearn said: “You looking that bad that you won’t show your face or not?”
After the fan showed his face, shocked Hearn said: “That don’t look like Logan Paul!
“I’ve pressed the wrong button. How we doing mate? Nice to see you.”
The Matchroom promoter swiftly ended the call before he said: “Well that was a bit weird, I can’t believe I pressed the wrong button.”
YouTube superstar Paul was in hysterics when he was finally accepted to join the video chat on Instagram.
He said: “I’m dead. He goes ‘I pressed the wrong button’.”
Hearn responded: “Did you see the guy? He was like laying in bed. I was like ‘Logan, what’s happening why don’t you show your face?’
“He showed his face and it was just a random guy.”
After Paul asked if Hearn thought it was him, the promoter said: “Yeah, I was thinking who’s in your bed?
“I’ve seen the rumours but I didn’t believe they was true.”
After the minor technical issue, Hearn got down to talking to business as he asked whether Paul would venture into MMA.
Paul lost his boxing rematch to YouTube rival KSI in November, but is keen to show off his skills in the octagon.
Logan Paul had a face mask on when he eventually connected to the chat
When Hearn asked if he would do it, Paul said: “That’s my secret bro, that’s my s***.
“I need to do one MMA fight before I die and I’d love to do it with Matchroom Boxing… or Matchroom MMA.”
After the call ended, Hearn said: “I really like Logan Paul, I really do. And I think I’m going to give him an MMA fight to be honest with you.”
