Eddie Hearn has hit out at Conor Benn after the 29-year-old boxer sensationally announced he was ditching Matchroom Boxing for Dana White's company. The promoter revealed Benn's shocking reaction when he asked for a phone call moments before what Hearn described as a 'painful' split.
Benn, son of British boxing legend Nigel Benn, ended his decade-long relationship with Matchroom Boxing, leaving Hearn 'devastated' by the move to the fledgling promotion.
