And Taylor has already been asked about fighting UFC's former bantamweight world champion Rousey, who has not fought since a brutal defeat to Holly Holm in November 2015.
Hearn insists that the focus is on boxing but admits the 30-year-old will fight anyone and is backing his new signing to come out on top if the pair were to meet.
The promoter also likens it to the on-off showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor.
