Itâs safe to say Eddie Hearn in not a fan of Ben Shalom.
The Matchroom promoter recently ended a bitter feud with Frank Warren thanks to Turki Alalshikh and a wad load of cash.
But, one man that is not going to be on Hearnâs Christmas card list is Boxxerâs Ben Shalom.
Hearn and Shalom had an exchange on stage during the Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois undercard press conference face-offs in which Hearn told Shalom he would âknock him outââŚ
Shalom speaking to IFL TV gave his side of the argument: âHe said he was gonna knock me out. I thought he wasnât rattled? I said as a joke, âI didnât realise this was your fight,â during Joshua Buatsiâs face-off. It was literally a joke. But yeah he wasnât too happy⌠To be threatened to be knocked out by a guy whoâs nearly 50 was an interesting one.â .
Hearn gave his version of events and claimed Shalom was scared: âIt was a joke really. He said, âWhat are you doing in this picture?â I said, âIâll knock you out.â I felt bad because he froze like a ghost and now heâs doing all these interviews saying he got threatened⌠He said he was joking, so was I. I spoke to lost and found and asked if anyone finds his a***hole to let us know.â
Hearn later claimed that Shalom has requested videos to be taken down of some of his interviews.
Frank Warren is unsurprisingly siding with his new best friend.
