Eddie Hearn has slammed rival promoter Frank Warren for his s*** undercard before Tyson Fury's world heavyweight title defence against Dillian Whyte.
Fury and Whyte fought in front of a reported crowd of 94,000 fans at Wembley Stadium, earning an 80-20 split of a world record £31million purse after Warren won the bids. But Hearn believes the record-breaking payouts for the main event cost the event as a whole, with a major lack of starpower in the bouts leading up to the title fight.
Anthony Cacace had been set to do battle with Jonathan Romero, but the bout was cancelled at the last minute. It was replaced in the co-main event with Darren Tetley and Ekow Essuman's British, Commonwealth and European title fight, a far cry from the likes of Lawrence Okolie co-headlining on Hearn's last stadium show for Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk.
