    EDDIE HEARN admits Matchroom Boxing will re-evaluate its relationship with Conor McGregor following the outcome of his civil court case.McGregor, 36, was last week found liable to have assaulted a woman – Nikita Hand – at a Dublin hotel in December 2018.Conor McGregor was last week found liable to have assaulted a woman at a Dublin hotel in December 2018The UFC star, who has been ordered to pay £206,000 in damages, has vowed to appeal the verdictEddie Hearn has revealed that Matchroom Boxing will reevaluate their partnership with the MMA superstarCredit: Richard Pelham / The SunThe UFC superstar was accused of “raping and battering” Ms Hand at the Beacon Hotel during a cocaine and alcohol-fuelled bender – an accusation he’s vehemently denied.Several brands – including Proper No. 12 Whiskey – have distanced themselves from the MMA mogul in light of the verdict.And Hearn has hinted that Matchroom – who struck a partnership with the Irishman’s Forged Irish Stout last May – could soon follow suit.The 45-year-old told Pro Boxing fans: “We gotta digest all the information which is coming out thick and fast.READ MORE ON MCGREGOR”And we have a responsibility to look at all our partnerships.”And we’ll do that in the immediate future and decide as a business what we’re gonna do.”McGregor was ordered to pay Ms Hand £206,000 (€250,000) in damages as a result of last week’s ruling, which came after just over six hours of deliberation from the jury.But he’s vowed to appeal the verdict, writing on X: “I will be appealing today’s decision.Most read in BoxingDoes Conor McGregor have any chance of continuing UFC career?FORMER UFC champion Conor McGregor was found to have assaulted a woman who accused him of raping her in a Dublin hotel, a civil court jury found on Friday.The 36-year-old was accused of “brutally raping and battering” Nikita Hand in December 2018.He will now have to pay Ms Hand 248,603.60 euros in damages.Despite losing his case, McGregor has vowed to appeal.The Irishman’s future in MMA and UFC is now in doubt. He hasn’t been in the octagon since July 2021 when he broke his leg and was stopped against Dustin Poirier.Here’s what SunSport’s chief MMA reporter Chisanga Malata had to say about the situation…”The ruling, which came in a civil court, not a criminal court, has given the UFC arguably its biggest-ever headache in its 31-year run. MMA chiefs will now have to make a major decision over their poster boy.”Personally, I think he fights again. There is a precedent for it. Just look at the man who fought Jake Paul last week. “Of course, I’m talking about former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, who was sent to jail in the 1990s for rape. He came out and he had a successful career after that, making millions upon millions of pounds before retiring in 2005.”Sadly, there is a precedent for it. But the UFC now has a massive decision to make. As I said, I think he fights again. I think they stick to the plan that was announced last week at the UFC 309 post-fight press conference and they have him fight late 2025.”Perhaps they said late 2025 in anticipation of this ruling not going McGregor’s way and giving some time for this to blow over – even though something of this magnitude can never, ever blow over.”I believe McGregor will fight again barring a sensational decision from Dana White and all the investors and they axe their poster boy. But I just don’t see that happening and I do see him returning to the octagon late next year.”Questions will have to be asked of the UFC and rightly so. But more so of the man himself, Mr McGregor.””The judge’s instruction and the modest award given was for assault, not for aggravated or exemplary damages.”I am disappointed that the jury did not hear all the evidence that the DPP reviewed.Connor McGregor seen outside court after receiving guilty verdict”I am with my family now, focused on my future. “Thank you to all my support worldwide.”A few days later, ‘The Notorious’ added: “People want to hear from me, I needed time. I know I made mistakes.”I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me.”I have instructed my legal team to appeal the decision.”I can’t go back and I will move forward. I am beyond grateful to my family, friends and supporters all over the world who have stayed by my side.READ MORE SUN STORIES”That’s it. No more.

      ‘That would be something’ – Francis Ngannou’s coach opens door to boxing fight ‘everybody wanted to see in first place’

      FRANCIS NGANNOU may still have one more boxing fight in him – and it’s the one “everybody wanted to see in first place.” Ngannou put his MMA career on hold in 2023 to cross over and pursue his lifelong ambition of boxing. Francis Ngannou could still return to boxingCredit: ReutersLast October, he sensationally floored former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, 36, only to lose a controversial decision. He then returned to the ring to face Anthony Joshua, 35, in March but was knocked out in two rounds. Ngannou, 38, shared the ring with the British pair after overlooking American Deontay Wilder, 38.

Cooper fought in boxing, kickboxing and MMA before moving into coaching after retiring.

Cooper admits not even a 15-year fighting career brings as much agony as withstanding Ngannou’s power.He told SunSport: “In the fights when I was fighting I had really good defence. I would defend a lot of techniques, getting hit clean was a rarity.”Getting hit by Francis, I’m giving the body away getting hit by him. It’s not happy, it’s not nice for sure.

      Tommy Fury in line to earn TRIPLE his net worth in rematch against Jake Paul… with never-before-seen fight teased

      TOMMY FURY is in line to sensationally TRIPLE his net worth as talks to rematch Jake Paul continue – but with a twist. Fury looked to have buried two years of bitter feuding when he beat Paul via split-decision in the Diriyah desert in Saudi Arabia last year. Jake Paul and Tommy Fury are in talks to rematchCredit: GettyBut the celebrity boxing rivals have continued their feud to build towards a money-spinning rematch. And they could even take their rivalry to the MMA cage with a huge two-fight deal being put in place. Paul is signed to the Professional Fighters League and primed to make his cage debut next year. And in February, PFL founder Donn Davis told SunSport £15milllion ($20m) was on the table for Fury to fight Paul in MMA and boxing.

Murray told SunSport: “He was going to be part of this event on the broadcast team. But he’s excited by the sport and that would be interesting.”Listen, he’s a big event fighter and there’s plenty of money to go around. “We’re investing in the sport, we’re investing in big events, that would be a mega event and we’re here to put on a spectacle.”Fury is believed to have earned around £6m for his two wins over YouTube pair Paul and KSI. It means PFL’s proposed double header would see him nearly triple his fight earnings.Fury, 25, controversially beat KSI, 31, in October and underwent hand surgery soon after, leading to a potential return by January.Paul, 27, meanwhile faces heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson, 58, on November 15 in a clash slammed over the 30-year age gap.

At the time, he had beaten Ciryl Gane in January 2022 but had no plans to re-sign with the UFC. He made only £450,000 for the bout and revealed he borrowed £150,000 from friend and former UFC champ Kamaru Usman. But after two boxing bouts – against Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua – he is believed to have earned over £10MILLION.

So things are changing as a person I’m growing.”Life is moving, I have different perspective in life. My ambition grows, you know. I set no limit for myself.

I have no guarantee of the future of tomorrow, everything can stop right now.”So yes, you think about that.

It took him 14 months to go from his hometown of Batie to eventually France, where his journey as a fighter began. Now, he is a former world champion with two huge paydays in the bank – but there was once a time when securing food to eat was his biggest problem.

I think it was just a process. “Because at the end of the day, life is mostly a journey that you have to understand, enjoy the journey is not a destination.”Because, if you set a destination and then you get to destination, then what’s happened? It’s the trusting the process.”Ngannou, 38, sensationally dropped Fury, 36, on his boxing debut only to lose a controversial decision.
