EDDIE HEARN has slammed a former undisputed world champion as an “arrogant f***ing p***k” after a fall out over tickets.
The boxing promoter saw his star man Anthony Joshua beaten by Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.
Fighter Devin Haney was in London over the weekend and reached out to Hearn for tickets.
And when he failed to get him the ringside seats he asked for, the American reacted angrily and took to social media.
Haney, who was represented by him from 2019 to 2021, said: “Wow I’m in London and Eddie Hearn won’t give me tickets to the fight but keeps mentioning me every chance he gets. Eddie the fakest.”
Hearn hit back on social media, saying: “You asked me at 6am this morning. First I look after my fighters. Ask someone else and drop the arrogance.”

He was then asked about the dispute in an interview with BoxingNews, revealing: “I got a message from him on the day of the fight, saying: ‘I want tickets’.
“He messaged me 24 hours before, saying ‘yo’. I had so much going on I did not reply.
“When I replied Friday night, he messaged me back at 6am in the morning.
“Firstly, all of the ringside tickets were pre-assigned with His Excellency [Turki Alalshikh], plus we had months notice from fighters that put in a request that we had sorted out.

“We just do not have the tickets so I said you may have to ask Riyadh season – no reply.
“Then I am sitting there at the show and he is like: ‘Wow, Eddie Hearn did not get me tickets, he is so two-faced’.
“I just replied and said: ‘You’re an arrogant f***ing p***k, to be honest with you’.”
Haney was the undisputed world lightweight champ for a year from 2022.
In his last fight in April, he lost to Ryan Garcia but the clash was declared a no contest after his rival had a positive drug test.
