Eddie Hearn offers a reality check to Tyson Fury 

The Matchroom Boxing chairman is among the top boxing promoters in the world. Although he is a promoter, he is as popular as any other famous boxer. He was recently in conversation with iDBoxing, where he was asked about Fury’s debacle with True Geordie. 

Hearn started his answer with a slight smirk and said, “Tyson doesn’t really like to be pressed on a lot of things. I thought True Geordie was asking a lot of questions that the fans would want to ask. I mean, look, you sometimes ask me questions that I don’t really want to answer, but it’s my job. But it’s not really Tyson’s job as much, I guess it is in a way. But I don’t know. He doesn’t really like it when he’s quizzed on certain things. But I didn’t think it was that personal or anything. The questions or what True Geordie was doing, but Tyson obviously didn’t like it.”
