Something tells us that Tyson Fury is not the biggest fan of Eddie Hearn

Both men divide opinion, to be fair

Tyson Fury seems to be documenting every single moment of his return to fitness.

Not a day goes by when the 28-year-old doesn’t post something to social media – be it footage of a run, hitting the pads or polishing up his trash talk from sunny Marbella.

Fury has seemingly come to terms with the fact that he will not be next up for Anthony Joshua because he will simply not have enough time to drop the necessary weight to meet ‘AJ’ before the year is out.

But that’s not stopped him from banging the drum for a multi-million pound All-British showdown with the reigning IBF, IBO and WBA (Super) heavyweight champion of the world.

Earlier this week we saw Fury enlist the assistance of his seven-year-old daughter to issue the latest insult towards Joshua.

And now it’s Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, who has been singled out for a piece of familiar Fury trolling.

After the controversial heavyweight delivered some shout-outs for his team, he seized the opportunity to take a shot at Hearn, the Matchroom chief who divides opinion among fight fans.

“Eddie Hearn is a wanker, la la la,” Fury sang at the end of one of his most recent Instagram posts.

We somehow can’t picture Anthony Joshua singing the same tune about Frank Warren.
