EDDIE HEARN has blasted Tyson Fury for ‘swanning around’ in his Las Vegas hotel as talks over his heavyweight title unification fight with Anthony Joshua rumble on.
The WBC heavyweight champion jetted out to Sin City earlier this month to train with cutman Jorge Capetillo.
But the Gypsy King’s attention appears to have turned to living his best life and calling out athletes from different sports.
That has somewhat annoyed Hearn, who told talkSPORT: “Tyson Fury’s getting right up my nostrils as well.
“He’s a great fighter and he’s a great talker as well.
“I just think when I look at those two together – you’ve got one guy working behind closed doors in Finchley with a dream to become undisputed champion.
“And then you’ve got another bloke who’s swanning around in a suite at the encore in Las Vegas, wearing terrible Versace shirts, screaming on social media all day calling everyone a dosser.”
As frustrated as Hearn is with Fury’s actions, the promoter doesn’t have any reservations over his eagerness to throw down with AJ.

He added: “To be fair, I was with Tyson about ten days ago in Vegas.
“He wants the fight, we all want the fight.
“I think everyone’s just getting a bit frustrated that it’s taking probably two or three weeks longer than we expected.
“We are dealing with the same people who delivered the Andy Ruiz fight for us in the Middle East.
“We’ve dealt with them before, they’ve paid the money before, they’re solid people, they’re just professional, they like things to be done properly.
“Bob Arum has not dealt with a site deal the size of this before, leave it to me, hold tight, we’ll get it done.”
Matchroom boxing chief Hearn, who officially took the reigns from dad Barry earlier this month, is hoping to officially announce Joshua vs Fury next week.
He said: “I think if we’re not done by the end of next week then we do have a problem.
“I believe you’ll get an announcement next week, I do.
“This morning we received another draft back from the site for the final form. This is a major, major commercial deal.
“We’re talking about major legal companies that are across these drafts, it goes back, then it has to go to about three or four different parties from Tyson Fury’s side, then it goes to our side, AJ’s side, then it goes to the site agreement, the government.
“It’s not something that’s turned around in a few days. We’re right across it, we can’t do any more.
“I’m a one-man army going out to make this fight.
“Like I said, no help from them, all they do is criticise, sitting in his gaff in Beverley Hills, Bob Arum, moaning.
“Get off your backside and do something about it yourself. No, I’ll tell you what, leave it to Eddie.
“Alright, well if you’re gonna leave it to me, be quiet and wait for the contract to come in. It’s on.
“Everybody’s agreed that this fight is happening and I cannot wait because Tyson Fury is going to get knocked out by Anthony Joshua.”
