Matchroom Boxing is set to review its relationship with UFC star Conor McGregor following a recent civil court verdict against him.
The boxing promotion company, which partnered with McGregorâs Forged Irish Stout last May, joins several other brands reconsidering their ties with the Irish fighter.
On Friday McGregor was ordered to pay nearly âŹ250,000 (ÂŁ208,000) in damages after a jury found him liable of assaulting Nikita Hand.
Following the news Eddie Hearn has confirmed his company will look at the partnership with McGregorâs outfit.

âWe gotta digest all the information which is coming out thick and fast,â Hearn told Pro Boxing Fans. âAnd we have a responsibility to look at all our partnerships.
âAnd weâll do that in the immediate future and decide as a business what weâre gonna do.â
Earlier other companies had cut ties with the MMA star including Proper 12 who released a statement.
âSince 2021, Proximo Spirits has been the 100pc owner of Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey,â the statement read. âGoing forward, we do not plan to use Mr. McGregorâs name and likeness in the marketing of the brand.â
