One feisty debate 🥊 Watch back Eddie Hearn and Simon Jordan's heated showdown live from the talkSPORT studio
“Contractually, we rely on the British Boxing Board of Control,” Hearn insisted.
“There is also a lot of rubbish about leaking of the tests. Contractually, regardless of what Simon will say, in the contract with Chris Eubank Jr the only way that fight gets cancelled is if the British Boxing Board of Control cancel the fight or Chris Eubank Jr terminates the agreement due to the testing.“Chris Eubank Jr wanted to proceed with the fight, the board took five weeks to make a decision.
When asked if he was pushing for the fight to be called off, Hearn said: “Yes. Do you know who pulled the fight on that night? I pulled the fight.“We had various options. Number one was an injunction, number two was to work with another governing body or regulatory arm and I didn’t want to do that.
