Ben Whittaker will be heading across the pond if he beats Braian Suarez on Saturday night.
The Callum Smith v David Morrell was cancelled.
“Ben Whittaker fights Suarez, who’s a big power puncher," said Hearn during a recent appearance on the Ariel Helwani Show.
"This is a big moment for Ben, a big run, because if he’s successful on Saturday, he’ll go on the Boots against Xander card for his American debut at the Barclays Center.
“It would be huge for him, so he must win on Saturday.”
