Chris Eubank Jr. simply made some fairly critical accusations in opposition to Eddie Hearn.
Eubank first confronted Hearn’s fighter, Conor Benn, in a extremely publicized combat in April, profitable by unanimous resolution. The 2 have a bitter historical past with each other, courting again to their fathers, who confronted one another twice in title fights in the course of the ‘90s. Now, Eubank and Benn are set to run issues again on Nov. 15 at Tottenham Stadium in London, and the unhealthy blood between the camps appears solely to have elevated.
On Wednesday, the 2 met for the primary press convention forward of their rematch, and issues picked up proper the place they left off. Eubank leveled a number of grievances in opposition to Benn’s workforce and Hearn specifically, claiming they messed together with his weight lower, tried to disrupt his combat night time preparations by bringing a private nemesis to his altering room, and breached their combat contract by letting Benn combat in gloves full of horse hair. However probably the most salacious accusation from Eubank got here from after the combat, when he claims Hearn and Workforce Benn prevented him from a well timed journey to the hospital.
“After the combat, attributable to extreme dehydration, I’m put in an ambulance and I’ve to go to hospital,” Benn stated. “I’m so dehydrated that one of many toenails on my large toe fell off. … I’m within the ambulance and these scumbags blocked that ambulance from leaving the stadium for 20 minutes.”
“That’s absolute waffle,” Hearn interjected. “Waffle!”
This accusation led to an prolonged argument between the 2, with Hearn repeatedly trying to interrupt Eubank.
“Twenty minutes. I’m mendacity there on a gurney, oxygen masks on, the automobile can’t transfer,” Eubank stated. “They won’t open the gates to allow us to depart.”
“Sorry, who received’t open the gates?” Hearn requested.
“Now, if this was a critical damage that I had sustained, that 20 minutes may’ve been the distinction between life and dying,” Eubank continued.
“I wish to know who wouldn’t open the gates,” Hearn pressed. “It’s vital. You may’t reply that, are you able to? You speak shit, Eubank.”
“Whereas that is all taking place, Conor Benn and Eddie Hearn are in right here speaking to the media, mendacity about how I had a damaged jaw and that was the rationale I used to be going to hospital,” Eubank stated. “Bullshit artists of the very best diploma. Absolute highest.”
“Chris, can we simply get one factor clear: are you able to affirm you might be accusing us? Matchroom?” Hearn requested.
“Why else was I in an ambulance for 20 minutes?” Eubank replied.
“Say that Matchroom stopped you from going to the hospital,” Hearn insisted.
“What, so you may attempt to sue me along with your little attorneys?” Eubank responded.
“I feel you’re speaking concerning the mistaken man. Say it! You speak shit,” Hearn replied.
“These are the degrees that these individuals go to,” Eubank continued.
“We stopped you from going as a result of your toenail was falling off. I’ve heard all of it now,” Hearn retorted.
The argument didn’t cease there. Eubank and Hearn spent a lot of the press convention bickering, with Eubank principally not attacking Benn, however Hearn as a substitute.
“The actual fact of the matter is you’re a glorified desk jockey,” Eubank stated. “That’s what you might be, residing off of the again of hardworking fighters. The truth that you may sit up right here speaking about how standard and well-known you might be, it simply exhibits you the extent of ego and narcissism we’re coping with right here.”
“What I don’t wish to have is somebody mendacity about what occurred on the night time to attempt to achieve extra recognition,” Hearn responded. “About your weight lower, about all of the bullshit you wish to come out with. You’re taking part in the sufferer! You’re taking part in sufferer, and we see by you.”
“I received the combat!” Eubank reminded him.
“Properly carried out,” Hearn conceded. “We gave you the respect. However you accuse us of stopping the ambulance from going to the hospital. We’ll see. You’re an asshole, you speak shit, you’ll get what’s coming to you.”
