Hearn, known for his sharp wit, quickly dismissed Miller’s provocation. “I ain’t f***ing scared of you. I know what you did,” he retorted. This response reflects Hearn’s awareness of Miller’s controversial past, including failed drug tests that have marred his boxing career. The conversation escalated as Miller pressed on, questioning Hearn’s loyalty. “Why didn’t you back me like you backed Conor Benn?” Hearn recalled.

The promoter’s reply was terse and unequivocal. “Because I don’t believe you,” Hearn stated, his disbelief in Miller’s innocence clear and unwavering. Miller’s reaction took a more menacing turn, implying a threat for future encounters. “Well, next time when you’re in New York, I’ll have someone pull up on you,” Hearn recalled being warned.

Unfazed by the threat, Hearn delivered a final, dismissive blow. “And I said, ‘Go f**k yourself,'” he revealed. This exchange, brimming with tension and unresolved issues, highlights the complexities and often strained relationships in the boxing industry, especially between promoters and fighters.
