Eddie Hearn is dreaming big for 2022 as his wish list includes the biggest names in the fight game facing each other.

The Matchroom chief has been responsible for putting on some of the biggest fights in 2021 and knows a thing or two about what makes a good matchup.

Hearn picked the huge fights he would make in 2022

Looking ahead to the new year, he made a case for Jake Paul to fight Conor McGregor, though he is not hopeful of it happening.

"This is a mega-fight and a really good fight as well, got to get the catchweight right in the middle, although Conor McGregor looks huge at the moment," Hearn told the DAZN Boxing Show.

"Conor McGregor; legend, Jake Paul; content legend - but a lot of fun putting the work in.

"I want to see Jake Paul against Conor McGregor, let's get it made - I can't say it's the top of my list of Christmas cheer here on DAZN, but a little bit of fun for the festive season."

Paul has called out the likes of Masvidal after beating Woodley, but has previously called out McGregor

McGregor has previously turned down offers from Paul

UFC president Dana White has poured cold water on the suggestion that any of his fighters under contract will face YouTuber-turned boxer Paul, but Hearn thinks this one is the fight to make.

He also believes he has just the man for Deontay Wilder to return to in Derek Chisora, who most recently lost to Joseph Parker.

Wilder has suffered back-to-back defeats to Tyson Fury and will need to work his way back to the top if he hopes for any future title shot.

"Come on, [Chisora] is getting on a little bit, he's coming off three defeats on the spin now. Easy comeback fight for Deontay Wilder. Derek's ready."

Wilder's last two fights have been defeats to Fury

Chisora has lost his last three fights in a row

The Londoner's trainer, Dave Coldwell joked Hearn enjoyed one to many sherries at Christmas.

Elsewhere on the dream fights is a lightweight undisputed clash between George Kambosos Jr and Devin Haney.

Hearn is predicting big things from Conor Benn in 2022 and wants to book in a huge clash against Adrian Broner at the O2.

The promoter thinks it is time for Teofimo Lopez to move to 140lbs and the perfect opponent would be Montana Love.

And for Canelo Alvarez? Hearn wants to see the Mexican great become the undisputed champion at light heavyweight.

Canelo is the pound-for-pound king of boxing right now and undisputed super middleweight champion

He said: "The great pound-for-pound king Canelo Alvarez. I know there's talk about [Ilunga] Makabu, I know there's talk about [Jermell] Charlo and [David] Benavidez, but for me I'd like to provide the gift of a straightforward route to the undisputed 175lbs world championship.

"Just made history as the first Latin American undisputed champion, the first super middleweight undisputed champion.

"I believe the great Canelo Alvarez can do it all over again at 175lbs."
