Eddie Hearn has not been left happy with boxing chiefs after Benn v Eubank Jr fell apart
His promoter Hearn made desperate attempts to keep the fight alive before admitting defeat this afternoon.
But the Matchroom boss has attacked the British Boxing Board and claimed their decision to scrap the bout was “procedurally flawed”.
In a punchy statement this afternoon, Hearn said: “It is undeniable that the British Boxing Board of Control’s decision to withdraw their sanctioning was procedurally flawed and without due process.
“That remains a legal issue between the promoters and the Board which we intend to pursue.
“However, whilst there are legal routes to facilitate the fight taking place as planned, we do not believe that it is in the fighters’ interests for those to be pursued at such a late stage, or in the wider interests of the sport.”
