Matchroom Sport head honcho Barry Hearn says his background as an accountant makes him completely certain that there must be aliens out there in the universe
Sports promoter Barry Hearn reckons it’s odds on that aliens exist. The mogul – who runs boxing, darts and snooker events – said they are a “mathematical certainty of life”.
Barry, 77, admitted he is not sure that they might look like little green men just like on telly. But he declared it “impossible” that we’re the only universe with life in it.
Asked whether he believed in aliens, he told the Parenting Hell podcast: “Yes, I do. I’m a mathematician. There’s no mathematical reason why we should be so different.
“There are trillions, if not more, stars out there and it is impossible to believe that we are the only universe that endures life of some description.

He added: “I hate being so predictable, but I’m just a boring, chartered accountant.”
