Simon Jordan tears Eddie Hearn aside after Joshua vs Whyte cancelled

Simon Jordan has aimed hearth at Eddie Hearn within the aftermath of the Anthony Joshua vs Dillian Whyte struggle cancellation by bringing again up the boxing promoter’s earlier feedback. Hearn needed to step in when Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn’s bout was cancelled final yr, and Jordan has since questioned him.

Eubank Jr and Benn’s struggle was scheduled for October on the O2 Arena, however organisers took it off the desk after the latter examined optimistic for the banned substance clomifene, which might increase testosterone.

At the top of July, Benn introduced he might resume his boxing profession after being cleared by a UK Anti-Doping investigation into his two failed medicine checks.
