Eddie Hearn has hit out at Gervonta Davis after the Baltimore man went public with the offer he received from the Matchroom boss regarding a potential Conor Benn fight.
Hearn is eager to put his welterweight charge in the ring with ‘Tank’ and was hopeful that a bout between the pair could be agreed.
Benn had his first outing of 2024 earlier this month when he outpointed Peter Dobson in Las Vegas.
In the immediate aftermath, Benn’s name was linked to a number of high-profile fights including Davis and Chris Eubank Jr, and Hearn has provided the latest update on where things stand with Davis.
“I don’t know why I waste my time with this guy, [he’s] like a baby,” said Hearn when speaking to Boxing Social.
“If you’re not willing to sit down and have a sensible business discussion, like, he doesn’t even know the details of the offer.
“We made him an eight-figure offer with plenty of upside. He doesn’t even want to discuss the upside because he just gets ill advice. But, anyway, I wish him all the best. Great fighter and good luck against Frank Martin.”
