    Brilliant.

    I do feel like Talksport have become obsessed with the whole situation and rightly so but I feel like they should focusing on and hammering Tyson Fury's appalling decision to fight Chisora.

    Jordan can barely keep his tongue clean when talking to Warren or Fury. Last time he spoke to Warren he was telling him what a great admirer he is of him. Imagine that.

    Hearn now just tries to wash over the Benn fiasco by turning it into war of words with Simon Jordan.

    Every interview he does lately he just uses Jordan calling him a coward ect ect as a smokescreen to avoid answering questions about Benn and his 2 failed drugs tests

    Hearn is used to controlling the narrative. The lack of control of this situation that he has is great.

    Hearn’s just said that Jordan is racist - shots fired!

    I'm just glad this thread is still going strong as Hearn will want Benn's 2 failed drugs tests to get swept under the carpet.

    Hearn has outdone himself with this mess. I really can't stand him these days.
    And as for Benn's message about I hope you are as loud with the apology blah blah blah then releasing his statement about being picked on by BBBofC FFS!!

    Hearn has been like a bully boy coming across a real G. He realised the essex blagger routine doesn't work when things reach the mainstream.

    Yes, he used to get away with a lot of stuff as fighters and boxing associated people were afraid to speak out of line as they were afraid work would dry up if they did.

    Now it's gone to mainstream and people who aren't reliant on him aren't scared to say it as they see it

    Eubank Snr had a fair point being worried about Jr's health.

    Sending an emaciated fighter in with someone who you know has just failed not one but 2 drugs test is playing with fire.

    I wonder if Benn's cast iron alibi of being a clean athlete would have stood up in court had the fight gone ahead and Jnr had died

    Eubank Senior is absolutely right.

    Remember how Eddie Hearn gave long lectures about how terrible a boxer Canelo was. He should be banned from boxing because he put his opponents' lives at risk etc.
