Simon Jordan responds to Eddie Hearn's offer to settle rivalry in boxing fight

Radio host Simon Jordan has dismissed Eddie Hearn's "deflection" offer for the pair to lace up their gloves and fight in the boxing ring.

Matchroom Boxing promoter Hearn suffered a damaging blow earlier this year when Conor Benn failed a drug test which saw the British Boxing Board of Control prohibit his fight with Chris Eubank Jr from taking place. Former Crystal Palace owner Jordan branded Hearn a "coward" for his handling of the situation, and requested that the promoter comes onto his platform to be asked questions regarding the matter.

Hearn then joked during an interview shortly after that the pair should compete in a charity boxing match, telling iFL TV : “I think we should have a fight. I reckon he can’t fight at all, I can’t fight – I think it’d be unbelievable. We’ll do it for charity, then we’ll have a debate after. I’ve got a broken finger, but I’ll still fight.
