TYSON FURY joked that Eddie Hearn was a'southern w *****'' during a conversation with Gary Neville, Manchester United legend.
Hearn was also said to have tried to sign the Gypsy King, and that he failed to do so is his 'biggest regret in his life'.
Tyson Fury said to Gary Neville that Eddie Hearn was a "southern w *****'".
Neville asked Fury, 33 years old, "Has Eddie Hearn ever attempted to sign you?"
Fury responded, "He has. Fury had the chance to do it.
"I believe he stated in an interview that it was his biggest regret that he hadn't signed the Gypsy King up."
Rumours claim that Fury was turned down by Hearn in 2017, at the start of Fury's comeback. This is because Fury was overweight.
Frank Warren signed the fighter and he achieved considerable success. He became again world heavyweight champion and was one of the most loved boxing stars.
Neville asked Fury if Fury liked Hearn. Fury replied: "Eddie Hearn is a southern gentleman *****.."
"I don’t know if I can say that on my show?"
"I love terrorizing Eddie because he loves talking s**t about people he has nothing to do.
"All Eddie has done was talk trash about me, because it gets him hits and viewing numbers on interviews.
"At the end, what has he ever accomplished in his life?" He has never been a boxer.
He acts like he's the world heavyweight champion but he isn’t. He is a businessman.
"There are many heavyweight world champions out there, but only one real one - that would be me."
Fury's comments came after Hearn claimed that the Gypsy King's Trilogy fight with Deontay wilder would be delayedAGAINA lack of interest.
They are scheduled to meet in Las Vegas on October 9, but their promoter says they are having trouble selling tickets and that there isn't enough hype.
Hearn, speaking to the media, asked: "Is that fight actually happening?"
"We will soon announce our next America show on October 16th. It's only six weeks away. It's very tight, but not as big as Fury Vs Wilder 3.
They have not sold any tickets and there is no hype about the fight.
"I'm sure that if it does happen, people will turn on to watch it, but nobody is flying to Vegas.
"I think 75 percent of those who went to the second bout were Brits who had flown in and normal fans can't do that now.
Hearn, however, wants the fight to continue to allow Anthony Joshua to face Fury in a big British clash next year.
He said, "I want it 100 percent." I want to be able to fight again with AJ if that fight's winner is determined.
"But, if it doesn’t happen, then the WBC must finally put Fury in recess.
"Fury hasn't boxed since February 2020, and if Fury doesn't box October, it will almost be two years since the title was defended.
"I believe he must fight, because otherwise he should be stripped of his title or made champion in-recess.
"Because DillianWhyte has been there as interim champion desperate for a shot."
