The renowned British promoter, Eddie Hearn, accused Tyson Fury of harassment. The British star Anthony Joshua’s promoter shared his experience of face time with ‘The Gypsy King’ during the celebration of the latter’s phenomenal win over Dillian Whyte.

Talking to DAZN, Hearn said, “I couldn’t hear him that well, as he was out drinking, and I was in a restaurant. I think he was saying that he was trying to call AJ, and asking me for his number. I think he was just harassing everybody, basically! He was having a few drinks, and he was celebrating.”

Furthermore, he added, “I just told him, “well done”. But he’s just retained his title, and he’s calling me and trying to call AJ! Tyson Fury is… very popular at the moment, and anything negative you say about him won’t go down very well.”

According to the 33-year-old British warrior, this was his last appearance in the ring. The greatest heavyweight of this generation wanted to spend time with his family.
