John Fury, father of WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, sharply responded to promoter Eddie Hearn, who criticized his son's fight against the MMA star Francis Ngannou.
“I have said before that he is a complete idiot. There is only one thing wrong with Hearn, and that is his envy because he couldn't organize such a fight. Eddie said that only he could arrange a duel in Saudi Arabia. How awkward he must feel right now.
This person should not be listened to, he does not know what he is talking about. If he understood what he was talking about, then Anthony Joshua would still be the world champion. These guys are idiots and they proved it. Hearn has only one problem: he is not promoting this fight, he is not the one who arranged it. This man is a total idiot and that says enough about him,” Fury Sr. said.
Recall that the fight between Fury and Ngannou will take place on October 28 in Saudi Arabia.
