The promoter said this week that the fight could take place on December 23 – the same day Fury could finally face Usyk.
Hearn has told multiple media outlets he is eyeing the final Saturday before Christmas for the clash.
He told iFL TV: “December 23. I’m calling it now, Benn vs Eubank. December 23.
“I’m not including in the schedule right now, but I am calling it.”
A deal between Benn and Eubank is yet to be agreed so a date has not been finalised.
And Hearn could decide to push the fight back so it does not clash with Fury vs Usyk, which was announced today.
The bout has been tipped to take place on December 23, though fight promoters have not ruled out a January contest.
Fury, 35, is set to face Francis Ngannou on October 28, which will give the Gyspy King just eight weeks to prepare for the undisputed heavyweight clash.

Benn and Eubank were initially scheduled to fight on October 8 2022 before Benn failed a drug test.
Eubank has fought twice since, losing to Liam Smith before knocking him out earlier this month.
