Eddie Hearn rages at Chris Eubank Jr as Ricky | Boxing News
Eddie Hearn labelled Chris Eubank Jr “an a***hole” after he interrupted Hearn’s attempt to pay tribute to Ricky Hatton during a press convention for his upcoming combat with Conor Benn. The boxing world was left reeling following the news of Hatton’s death at just 46 years outdated on Sunday, with heartfelt tributes pouring in from around the globe for ‘The Hitman’.
Among those paying their respects was Hearn, who needed to take ’30 seconds’ to honour one of Britain’s most beloved and profitable boxers during Tuesday night’s press convention. However, as Hearn tried to communicate, Eubank Jr might be heard singing in the background. When Hearn requested “Thirty seconds about Ricky Hatton,” Eubank Jr said: “There’s no 30 seconds”.
Despite Hearn’s makes an attempt to cause with him, Eubank Jr responded dismissively: “You know the drill, you know the drill”.
It was then that Hearn misplaced his endurance with the fighter, exclaiming: “You are some a***hole you are”, while Eubank Jr continued to interrupt. The son of boxing legend Chris Eubank Snr then said: “Oh I’m the bad guy, I’m this…” as Hearn fired back: “All I was going to do was say a few words about Ricky Hatton”, only to be cut off once more.
“I don’t want to hear any of your words,” Eubank Jr shot back at Hearn, who concluded: “Okay, I won’t say anything. You’re an a***hole, you talk s*** and you’re going to get what’s coming to you.”
Eubank Jr disrupted Hearn on a number of events during the press convention, which had been organised to promote Benn and Eubank Jr’s second conflict in November.
Their initial combat concluded with Eubank Jr rising victorious, defeating his fierce adversary on factors with all three judges awarding the competition 116-112 in his favour.
Benn arrived at the press convention sporting a Manchester City jersey as a mark of respect for Hatton, who was a devoted City supporter and obtained recognition from the membership before their 3-0 triumph over Manchester United in Sunday afternoon’s Manchester derby.
Eubank Jr also paid his respects to Hatton on social media after news of his passing emerged.
“Rest in Peace Mr Ricky Hatton. We salute you,” he wrote.
