"Stabbed This Idiot in the Back"- Conor Benn’s Longtime Rival Fires Sharp Response After He Leaves Eddie Hearn to Sign with Zuffa Boxing
Eddie Hearn says he was not properly informed of Conor Benn’s move to Zuffa Boxing and describes their relationship as damaged after years of support.
- Conor Benn signed with Zuffa Boxing, ending his Matchroom relationship, with Eddie Hearn saying he is devastated and blamed himself for relying on loyalty.
- Hearn said he first learned of the deal from an email by Benn's lawyer after Benn messaged him, leaving their relationship not on good terms.
- Hearn said he had backed Benn financially and defended him amid heavy criticism, having loaned him hundreds of thousands of pounds during his comeback.
- Hearn says the announcement left them not on good terms after Benn messaged him following the signing, and Hearn was ringside on January 31 when Benn jumped into the ring after Stevenson called out Lopez.
- Hearn said he regretted not securing a new contract earlier and was surprised Benn would cite a big offer as the reason.
