Although Tyson Fury is associated with Bob Aum’s Top Rank, he still praised fellow countryman Eddie Hearn for his splendid job in the sport. Furthermore, Fury detailed some of Hearn’s specific moves with the telecasters, to viable his claims.

Speaking with Daily Mail, ‘The Gypsy King’ said, “Eddie’s good at his job. For a young man he’s done fantastic over the past few years. From three-rounders with Prizefighter he’s gone on to monopolize Sky and sign excellent fighters here in America with DAZN. It doesn’t matter if I like him or not. I can only comment on what I see.”

As of now, Eddie Hearn and Tyson Fury are far from working together professionally. But it seems they have a mutual respect that can benefit both sides in the future.
