Eddie Hearn called Chris Eubank Jr “A *** Hole” after he interrupted the attempt to pay tribute to Ricky Hatton during a press conference for the upcoming fight with Conor Benn. The boxing world remained after the news of Hatton’s death at the age of only 46 on Sunday, with cordial tributes from around the world for “The Hitman”.

Among those who had respect, he was Hearn, who wanted to take “30 seconds” to honor one of the most beloved and successful boxer in Great Britain during the Tuesday press conference. However, when Hearn tried to speak, Eubank Jr could be heard in the background. When Hearn asked for “thirty seconds for Ricky Hatton”, Eubank Jr said: “There are no 30 seconds.”

Despite the attempts to reason, Hearna, Eubank Jr replied dismissively: “You know the drill, you know the drill.”

It was then that Hearn lost his patience with the warrior, shouting: “You are a *** hole,” while Eubank Jr was still interrupting. Son of the boxing legend, Chris Eubank Snr, then said: “Oh, I’m a bad guy, I’m the one …” When Hearn lit: “Everything I was supposed to do is say a few words about Ricky Hatton”, just to cut off again.

“I don’t want to hear any of your words,” Eubank Jr fired to Hearna, who summed up: “Okay, I won’t say anything. You are a *** hole, you say S *** and you’ll get what comes to you.”

Eubank Jr disrupted Hearn several times during a press conference, which was organized to promote the second clash of Benn and Eubank Jr in November.

Their initial fight ended when Eubank Jr emerged victoriously, defeating their fierce opponent for points, and all three judges awarded the competition 116-112 in his favor.

Benn came to a press conference with Manchester City’s shirt as a sign of respect for Hatton, who was a devoted supporter of the city and received recognition from the club before their triumph 3-0 over Manchester United in Sunday afternoon Manchester Derby.

Eubank Jr also respect Hatton in social media after news about his departure appeared.

“Rest in peace, Mr. Ricky Hatton. We salt you,” he wrote.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.

Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.

Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.

Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.

Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.

The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.

The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva

Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.

McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.

Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.

Undercard remaining

At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.

Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.

Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.

Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
