Tyson Fury sends hilarious video message to Eddie Hearn after Barry Hearn criticises fight with Tom Schwarz
The ‘Gypsy King’ quickly fired back a reply after hearing what Hearn Sr had said about his upcoming bout
Tyson Fury has branded Barry Hearn an ‘old red-faced fool’ and told his son, Eddie, to ‘put him back in the cupboard’ in a video response.
The veteran Matchroom promoter hosted a rare press conference on Monday – in the absence of his son – and took the opportunity to fire some shots in the direction of Fury regarding his upcoming fight against German heavyweight Tom Schwarz.
Hearn said: “All these people in boxing they talk about tough fights, how they’re not scared of anyone, they’ll fight anyone, but the reality is money talks.
“Tyson Fury is the best gypsy boxer in the world, isn’t he? The king of the gypsys who’ll fight any man whatsoever?
“Ah, his next opponent’s ranked number 93 with BoxRec.
“Congratulations, make of it what you want, but let’s have no bulls***, shall we?
“We’re in a money business and we’re here to make a lot of money for the fighters because they’re the ones that are entertaining us and putting it all on the line.”
After seeing the clip, Fury didn’t take long to reply.
“Eddie, please sort your dad out. He’s ruining the job for you,” the ‘lineal’ champion stated.
“First of all he’s talking about slaves and slave driving with Dillian Whyte.
“Next he’s saying to the public, ‘If you don’t like it, don’t pay for it. Everything’s pay-per-view, I’m not bothered if you buy it or not'.
“Then he’s getting incorrect information with Tom Schwarz because we both know he’s ranked number two in the WBO and in the top ten in the IBF.
“Best thing to do Eddie is give him another can of beer and put him back in the cupboard, the old red-faced fool.
“Give him a four-pack of Stella and put him back where he belongs before he ruins your job for you.
“Eddie, you’re trying to charm everybody with your big smile and your handsome rogue face, but your dad’s coming out and mucking it all up mush.
“Get him back in the cupboard with a full can of Stella.”
