UK and US boxing promoters Eddie Hearn and Lou Di Bella get into an online beef that got quite personal between the two.
The dispute seemed to originate over this message sent from WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder surrounding a possible fight Dillian Whyte from the UK.
Wilder is officially promoted by Di Bella but when the promoter tweeted at Hearn to stop taking to social media to make offers for fights, Hearn responded by saying that Di Bella was not even part of the negotiations at the moment.

What ensued was some back in forth that got personal and made for rather entertaining viewing for boxing fans today it must be said.
Here’s some of the back and forth between the two promoters from either side of the pond:
C’mon @EddieHearn. Stop with the Twitter offers and attempts to get Whyte attention. His best cred almost losing to Chisora. Make rematch. https://t.co/AKf2APKKJO

Lou with all respect you aren’t even in the discussions!
— Eddie Hearn (@EddieHearn) June 22, 2017
When did you become such an ass, @EddieHearn. There ARE no discussions about your guy. Only “discussions” are between you and @DillianWhyte. https://t.co/F1yiQRvlBR

I’m not trying to be my dad but I’m not a mouthpiece either ??

And, @EddieHearn, you aren’t your Dad. Baseball analogy: you were born 6 inches from home plate. Why the mean spirit & arrogance? #badwinner

There are discussions for this fight and others with Deontay and like I said you aren’t involved. Don’t throw your toys out of the pram

Yea, go convince @DillianWhyte of that. https://t.co/cIvppweaiL

Good, because your Dad is a real man and a nice person. I’m nobody’s mouthpiece, son. https://t.co/kiLHXEqXO2

He likes you too and so do I when you aren’t sulking. Log off Lou you will get told off ??

Ask @EddieHearn, if it’s not beneath his highness to respond to you. https://t.co/mw8LT6CMpd
