TYSON FURY has claimed that there is “no loyalty” in boxing following the split between Sky Sports and Matchroom Boxing.
Earlier this year, Eddie Hearn agreed a five-year deal with streaming service DAZN to replace Sky Sports as Matchroom’s exclusive broadcast partner in the UK and Ireland.
But Fury, 34, has since slammed both Hearn and Sky for allowing the deal to happen.
In a passionate rant on social media, he said: “The funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time is how the whole of Matchroom and Eddie Hearn and all of Sky, Adam Smith, Johnny Nelson. Everybody.
“They’re all at each other’s throats because they’ve all split up and they’re all arguing like cat and mouse.
“All arguing like a lot of children. ‘He should do this he should do that.’

“And once upon a time they were all stuck up each other’s a****.
“Now, if they had anything on each other they’d all be grassing each other up like little b*****s. I’ve never seen anything like it my whole life.
“All of you lot are going to be ashamed of yourselves.
“No loyalty in the game and it’s all about who can get what. You’ve showed your true colours.”
