The rift between the WBC heavyweight champ, Tyson Fury, and promoter, Eddie Hearn, isn’t really new to the boxing world. Time after time, the British pair have painted shots at each other, thus elevating their feud to different levels.

A few days back, ‘The Gypsy King’ again turned his attention towards the Matchroom boss, accusing him of not promoting Billy Joe Saunders to his full extent. Fury’s comments reached Hearn, and he clapped back at the undefeated boxing kingpin.

In a conversation with iFL TV, he said, “You’ve brought Parker in camp and you’re plotting the downfall of Chisora. He just talks absolute b***cks, Tyson Fury. I’ve never seen someone talk so much b***cks.” (h/t Michael Benson)
