Tyson Fury ‘can’t handle the heat’ of criticism over Chisora trilogy after spat with True Geordie, says Eddie Hearn
EDDIE HEARN accused Tyson Fury of not being able to handle the heat when criticised over his December 3 trilogy fight with Derek Chisora.
YouTuber and podcaster True Geordie probed Fury on his third fight with Chisora, the man he twice beat in 2011 and 2014.
And it led to the Gypsy King firing insults at True Geordie – real name Brian Davis.
In response, Hearn told iFL TV: “Fury don’t like it stuck on him in interviews. You know this is the reality, he can’t handle the heat in interviews.
“You’re not going to say anything but once you start questioning him, he goes, ‘Nope, nope, nope.’
“And I thought, you’ve got a lot of people who will just sort of… anyway I’m not going to say anything.”

But Hearn did continue: “What do you want as a punter?
“You want him to get asked serious questions or do you want other interviewers – who I won’t mention – just fluffing around him?
“They know who they are anyway, but that was just a guy saying, you’ve got to understand people are upset about this fight.
“It wasn’t as if he started being personal.”

In the now-viral interview in which the Gypsy King was told that fans didn’t really care about him fighting Chisora, Fury told True Geordie: “I think you’re a t****r. You little t***pot.
“And I won’t be doing any more interviews with you little t***pot, bearded, bald-headed t***er.
“Kiss my b**ls, you little w**ker. You little s***house.”
