I can’t believe Simon dared to say he gives Hearn/Warren the same energy. Eddie couldn’t get a word in while Simon was red in the face and swearing on live radio 😂😂😂
That is true, but Simon does seem to pipe down on this podcast, unlike the radio.
100%. He also says to frank that he likes him, he would eat his mullet before saying that to eddie 🤣🤣🤣
Ronnie pickering next up for Tyson the dosser
I'd say he gave them the same level of criticism but def has a personal hatred for Eddie that shines through in every word he speaks to him whereas with Warren he can act like a somewhat normal human being lol
I mean if you’re constantly getting insulted at by someone, of course you’re going to interrupt him and get angry, that’s all Eddie does, troll you.
Simon - it's simple. Every time Warren lies and says Fury wanted the Usyk fight, drill down to the specifics which he can't run away from: the 70/30 spilt, the ridiculous rematch demands etc. Basically, give him half the energy you gave Hearn and have the 'courage of your convictions'.
Not to forget the comments of sugar hill.
Or the comments of his dad before they started even negotiating with usyk saying ngannou was a harder fight 😂😂 I mean what a random thing to say unless you know that's his next opponent 🙄
Why are you advising Simon Jordan on what to ask Frank Warren in an interview that was filmed last week ? 😂
Specifics? Like Egis Klimas telling Boxing King Media that they're building the fight like Floyd v Manny?
To to mention Frank saying after the usyk aj fight 'the usyk fight is easy to make its a 50 50 split'
This interview is a perfect example of what Eddie was talking about.
Total cringe
totally agree
eddie says a lot, he never met a word he didn't like, may i ask exactly what you're referring to?
@@joggyjames its pretty obvious. the difference in energy, tone & language when hes speaking to eddie compared to when hes speaking with fish eyes.
@@mrmensah1986 im not from the school of no one is fair to eddie so it wasn't obvious but thanks for clearing it up. yall slandered poor umar the same way, i see you have moved on to simon.
I was a massive fan of Simon but after seeing him almost apologise any time he’s slightly challenges warren, yet he furiously and angrily accuses Hearn month after month, I’ve lost a lot of respect for him
Thats cos heanr is a liar , its not franks fault fury ran from usyk
All going jail soon
Think it’s because he just find Eddie so unlikeable
You can see franks blood pressure go up whenever eddies name is brought up😂😂😂
Why are you watching it then you mong 😂😂😂
The problem with Simon is ye doesn't let anyone get a word in, apart from Frank Warren. This is the energy Hearn was talking about.
it's purely entertaiment...
Have the day off, fanboy. We all have our biases.
Well, because Eddie is too used to being on IFL with Kugan, saying something and moving on. Eddie also talked over Simon
Yep. You can see how different the entire conversation is conducted. Night and day beween Hearn and Frank.
Well to me its simple. He has massive respect for Frank, and none for Eddie.
He repects Frank because Frank came from nothing and is completely self made.
Eddie was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and didnt have to graft for what he has now. Not his fault, but Simon has little respect for someone who was given everything, even though he did good on what he was given, but still he was given a massive leg up.
So yes, Eddie does rub Simon up the wrong way with Simon thinking, who the hell does this blue eyed idiot who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth think he is?
And this is exactly what Eddie Hearn spoke about . The energy from Simon is completely different towards Frank, asks one hard question in the full interview.
I agree and also Hail Hail 🍀
@@gpw203 I get that, but he now works in the media, so if he is incapable of putting his personal feelings aside, he's incapable of doing his job properly.
@@chrismcmahon5922Exactly, so he’s not impartial. For Simon to say, he doesn’t like Hearn because he’s full off bullshit yet have Frank sitting in front of him having a respectful convo is very one sided. Eddie showed that Simon was in fact full of shit in their TalkSPORT debate.
@@gpw203Hearn built bigger, what his dad gave him,... Jordan is a jealous piece of 💩
@@gpw203 matters when you’re denying bias & Simon has given as good as he gets tbf from Eddie.
Eddie was 100% correct, he already said he doesn't like Eddie and less than 10 minutes in he says he likes Frank. There's a bias straight away
Newsflash - people like some people and not others.
@@tsampson6660 you can still grill and disagree with a person you like
He is giving lay up questions to Warren and exploded at Hearn for no reason.
@@andychinn3671you’re more likely to give them an easy time though aren’t you. This is the real world mate come on now
I think he likes that frank went from rags to ritches. Not born rich
Did i genuinely just hear Simon Jordan describe Tyson Fury as 'generationally the best fighter around'. He's fought two live opponents and failed a drugs test
@CaptainCroak, Well it's not just two opponents... it's two of the longest reigning world champions of this era and the last, both fights that you all picked Fury to lose in. Has Joshua beaten a long reigning champion who reigned for 11 years? Nope, or beat someone like Wilder who defended his title 10 times? Nope, All Joshua had done is beat an old Klitschko coming off a loss and beat 5 minute champions like martin, Ruiz and Parker pmsl, if it weren't for Fury vacating the titles then Joshua Ruiz Martin Parker and Usyk would never have become Heavyweight champions, Fury gave them all an opportunity to fight for his belts when he vacated them, let that sink in for a minute.
"Hear" ❤
@@MaskedFighterIn my opinion to be called the best of your generation you have to have been champion for a while during your generation including defending your title on numerous occasions. Part of being a champion is having the physical and mental ability to stay champion. The reason champions like Lewis and Tyson lost to Rahman and Douglas is because they were actually fighting all comers regularly not taking three years off or fighting non boxers.
@@MaskedFighterAJ didn't fail a drug test though...
@@MaskedFighter Fury didn’t have any choice but to vacate the belts he was suspended and his licence was revoked for shooting nandrolone into his veins. The only ranked opponent Fury’s fought in 8 years is ‘Windmill Wilder’.
Wilder fought no one, not one world class opponent prior to Fury, he just windmilled his way through a load of handpicked journeymen. Wilder’s just a toy robot built by Bob Arum to make millions & fool people like you who know little about boxing. Keep buying the Arum & Warren PPVs, no doubt you’ve booked your Ngannou tickets already! 🤣🤪
Frank trying to defend himself against accusations of late payments is funny to see. Never does anything wrong in his eyes
Never does any wrong its always someone elses fault. I always ask myself has there been a fighter that has started with frank warren and left on good terms. It always seems to be massive fallouts which end up in court. It even got so bad for one fighter that he thought his best option was to shoot him. I guess all of the fighters he has ever worked with have all been totally unreasonable. No smoke without fire
Guess he is Don King this side of the pond
He swore on his kids and grandkids lives though… end of.
Ask the others to do the same.
@@ryanmichael7795dont believe everything you read, so many fighters who get built and built by promoters, then make it big and move on and accuse that promoter of ripping them off.... forgetting the money the promoter lost during the building process, and listening to those turning their heads....not defending promoters but dont believe all the narratives ....example "mtk poaching mcguigan fighters" who built them from nothing without big sky tv deals and then made out to be crooks.....seriously ? Little cyclone promotions bigger crooks than mtk or the big promotional outfits? Gimme a break
Frank the cheque
Such different energy with Frank vs Eddie. Simon's been shown for what he really is by Eddie.
He’s the same with Frank on the radio, did you not watch Franks phone call to Talksport straight after Eddie’s interview? If Eddie was on here it would be the same. Absolute clueless comment
That's only because he's been called out on it and people are on to the agendas. If it's such a clueless comment then why did Simon admit to it at the AJ weigh in? Not so clueless now mate @@avfcdunc
Best friends love you Frank can I have a fighter Frank
@@niterida048 They have famously been friends for a very long time, what your point 🤦🏻♂️
Hearn was spot on, no venom at all.
Game changer 😂 the sooner this joker and fury are out of boxing the better
Been saying exactly the same m8 word for word for a long long time 👍🏽👏🏽🔥🇬🇧
@@silverfox1silverfox496 I was looking forward to someone finally calling Frank out on the garbage fights he keeps doing.
Instead it's like watching two old geezers having a conversation in the bookies
Simone and his best mate fwank wawwan! Pathetic and lost all credibility
Stupid comment, this is a podcast he’s famously been different with all his guests then what he is on the radio. Did you not watch the Graeme Souness one 🤦🏻♂️
Usyk has finished Tyson Fury’s career without fighting him. Destroyed it. Classic!
100%
Absoloutly ridiculous 😂
Fury ain’t destroyed. The gypsies cannot be destroyed
Couldn’t agree more mate.
I used to be a Fury supporter and had a Facebook group of 73,000 Fury fans but when he blatantly ducked Usyk it sickened me to the point that I gave my Fury group to my moderator and left the group.
its been signed now crawl back under your rock, furys ego was never gonna duck usyk but his ego also wouldnt let him get robbed moneywise either AJ will have fought Usyk for a fraction of what furys going to get paid
Simon holding back the laughter whilst Frank is unconsciously giving him the finger at 24:47 😂😂
Was it really unconsciously though...
... Looked directed towards the camera
Think he was laughing at him calling Bellew bellend
@@tu5254 ah you're probably right, I was too distracted by the finger to listen to what he was actually saying!
Probably FW knowing the clip is going to get back to Bellew and he’s going to see him getting middle finger too
Well spotted.
One of the best Frank Warren interviews I've seen. Simon Jordan is one of the best things to happen to Talk Sport and sport in general, love this series. Always a compelling watch 👏🏻
This is embarrassing. Fury doesn't want to fight Usyk. Let's stop saying that, "he's not scared of him". He might not be scared of him, but he's frightened of losing and Usyk will out work Fury and win on points. I used to be a huge Fury fan. No more.
No u wasnt
I don't see how Usyk gets near him. I am 5'8 I am much fitter than my 6'7 friend, but he outwalks me time and time again.
Tyson is scared of a guy 3 stone lighter than him ? He thought the biggest puncher ever 3 times ! Are you daft ?
@@DebateKing69😅😅😅
@gedking1979 you sound just like Fury!
Can you imagine if Eddie Hearn came out and said "I think I made the sport better" while one of his fighters held the belt hostage and fought novelty fights, Jordan would have been down his throat after the first two words.
So true. Well said. Frank trying to make out the Saudi Fury fight is bigger than sliced bread. Lol. I don't think people who love pure boxing, are convinced with that comment. He's know's it's a money grab, and it's good for his pocket as well. He wouldn't be saying that if Joshua did that. He'd slate it, and say he was holding up the division.
This is a good example of why interviewing someone is very very difficult.
No matter how clever you think you are, how much of a smartarse you think you are, if you don't listen to the answers then the interview is going to meander.
I'm not going to go into the machinations and minutiae of trying to make fights - nobody commenting here has a clue about what goes on in negotations. However, there were so many things here which were not picked up on:
How was Frank, at a very young age, running clubs and pubs? Where does the confidence come from to do that? Who gave him money to do that? What was the relationship like with breweries etc? Tell us more about Lenny McLean being a bully?
But the worst bit was the piece at the end. Frank gets to meet Nelson Mandela and talk about boxing...we get 20 seconds on that. Instead the interview, like so many of the boxing TH-cam outlets, are obsessed with tittle-tattle and gossip. We all know what I'm talking about. It seems virtually every boxing channel asks exactly the same questions:
Dom/Eddie/Shane/Joe/Dave - you'll have seen Anthony Joshua's comments about former coach Robert McCracken, what do you think about that?
Frank, Eddie Hearn has said...
Eddie, did you see Frank Warren's interview on IFL last night?
Ben, Eddie has said that you're not letting your fighters fight on other platforms, what do you say to that?
It's awful.
Good points
But Simon doesn’t have same boring energy for Hearn does he?
@@activistbook3809 - I agree.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yeah, it was pretty weak compared to his other interviews
They do it for views unfortunately. Click bait titles and mud slinging and earns them the dough
Frank is the real life bricktop 🤣
""You shouldnt think, it can get you in a lot of trouble ""
Feed em to the pigs.
They go through bone like butter..
Whe the fks talking to you Boy?
Are they Lancashire Pigs?
Lmaoooi
If I throw a dog a bone, I don’t want to know if it tastes good.
All other promoters and fighters seem to find Usyk really easy to deal with. It’s a tall story from Frank to suggest it was Usyk’s fault that the fight didn’t happen
I think there is a lot of behind the scene things that nobody wants to say directly...so as not to piss off certain money people. The entire thing relied upon an offer that never came by. The Wembley thing was all time-pass. Nobody wanted to compromise since the money was already much lower than what they had both dreamt about.
The aj fight was a mandatory so of course it was easy it was easy for warren to with Dubois because it’s a mandatory. If it’s so easy to work with him how come he has fought once a year for 6 yrs runnin. Ppl gotta use their heads when fury fkd up and made the video 70/30 usyk and his team knew all they had to do was say they accept and everyone was goin to be on his side. He’s a warrior for accepting 70/30 then fury said no rematch then usyk team said they were pulling out because of the rematch while at the same time saying fury was the one who wanted the rematch to begin with well if he was the one who wanted the rematch why are u pulling out over it. Then it just magically happens he signs with Saudi less than 2 months later. It was about the money on both sides usyk was never goin to fight fury for 70/30 in uk when he could get way more in Saudi period. Usyk even said he can destroy fury rep that’s what that was all about.
It's hard to trust any of these guys. They all lie or get their facts wrong. Even Simon reeling Calzaghe's record off - "49-0". It was 46-0. Getting his facts wrong is what helped lose him his fight with Eddie the other day.
Fury is the only one who could beat Usyk and they know it and that's why. Stall the fight until Fury is older.
I'm in tears...😂😂🤣🤣 "Why won't you model underpants, you're a boxer, you fight in shorts" 🤣🤣
Carl Frock the “Fanny Merchant”. What a line 😂
He'll take that as a compliment 😂
Fanny merchant sounds like a top shagger to me 😂
Warrior in the ring
Frank has such an interesting back story, you don't hear about it often so when it gets brought up I always enjoy listening to it. He sure did it the hard way, nothing gifted.
Poor old Frank, he's totally lost it. Simon should have questioned him about specifics of the Usyk fight more too as their position is indefensible. As for Dubois beating Usyk, Frank needs to seriously have a word with himself... so much disrespect towards Usyk
@@gpw203 It’s called an opinion mate… It’s also a pretty good guess when Tyson Fury is involved
He didn't say a single disrespectful word in relation to usyk
@@tsampson6660 He constantly says in interviews that he's not a "big name" and Dubois will beat him. Is that not a bit disrespectful on its own?
Fury usyk signed he knew all along 😅
@@bradleywilson5641 Seems so, fair play to him! Just looking forward to actually seeing the fight now
“He couldn’t go 2 rounds in a revolving door”
Unreal
He said this just after saying he only responds to the Hearns 😂
He couldn't go 2 rounds in a revolving door 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Absolute belter 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes! 😂
That got me too 🤣😂🤣
We all know this will be a cuddle fest.. you dont challenge warren or shalom the same as hearn.. 🙄
What’s so annoying is Simon refuses to acknowledge it and then just uses big words to justify why he isn’t biased. Just because he has an answer as to why he’s not biased doesn’t mean he’s not. The months of evidence prove Simon spits venom at Hearn but never at fish eyes
These two actually like each other though so a big difference.
@@lankystreakofpiss4765but as a journalist you're job is supposed to be being impartial
Simon = top LAD proper clobber.
The don once again giving a platform to facts and truth
@@Craigyboi01 nah, you're talking about the BBC where they're meant to be impartial but clearly aren't which is why record numbers aren't paying their filthy license fee. This is Simon's own TH-cam channel and can say what he wants.
That's why calzaghe was so good because he just concentrated on boxing and none of the other crap
ONE QUESTION FOR FRANK..... Why wouldn't Fury agree to a rematch clause against the WBA, IBF, WBO and Ring champion, but insist on one against a thirty six year old debutant?
These are the questions talksport will never ask.
Usyk isn’t a draw, simple as, therefore he doesn’t get a rematch clause. All those belts mean nothing, boxing is a business first, and Fury is the bigger draw.
U can't just get Frank on ask him anything be scripted first
Tyson with his 3 books out and his Netflix documentary. Such a humble man who doesn't care about the money or fame.
And his tours and his merch....... People's champion and not in it for the money at all.
Mind you all the revenue goes to charity🤣🤣🤣🤣 but the reality of it is that kudos to him for finding a clueless fanbase that are always ready to give the execuses upfront everytime. I comment for free so does fury fights for free.
I’d like to know why he changed his Passat for a new Lamborghini Ferrari Porsche ?
AJ is still a bum.
@@murcielago-vikingogood summary, same as Eubank junior's followers, so deluded, can't see that their hero has so much contempt for them.
"I'll sue whoever says it" enough said 😂😂
Makes you laugh that Frank can remember vividly numerous incidents from 30 years ago with all these different fighters yet can't remember stuff that happened last week. They're all wrong and Frank is right.
Simon goes around saying he asks the tough questions yet with Frank it's a smile and moving swiftly on. He was laughing because he thought Calzaghe took him to court for a handshake because "Handshake doesn't mean anything"... Then Frank swears on his kids lives he shook his hand and Simon says nothing. Simon "notwithstanding I can't stand b*llsh*t" Jordan ladies and gentlemen. Fraud.
Love to see the unedited version of this. Frank Warren has no flaws no mistakes. Del Boy through and through.
When Simon talks to/about Eddie, it’s venomous and you can see it’s personal whereas with frank he only ever critiques on a surface level. The bias is so evident it’s unreal. He says he hates bull shit but if that were the case he would hate all promoters
Exactly! Against Eddie, he's red-faced, spluttering saliva and swearing before Eddie can finish a sentence. With Bricktop, he's "I want to give you a chance to answer your critics" then sits back and lets Bricktop tell tall tales.
@@angusielts7.00 totally mate it’s so clear to see they all hammer Eddie and give Fury/frank an easy ride. Yes Eddie handled the Benn situation badly but he’s owned up to it and said we learnt a lot, what more can you ask of him to be fair and he showed that with how quick this situation was dealt with
How many pratice runs, retakes and edits do you think they did??
Wishing Simon Jordan a fast recovery. It's great to see him back 🙏 and also to anyone who is going through treatment at the moment.
Take care
41:57 you can literally see Bricktop clutching at straws trying to justify this farce of a fight hahahahaha
Simon vs Hearn is pure heat the best. Simon vs frank is like an exhibition fight of you tuber brothers, as real as a rubber fish.
This interview 100% backs up what Eddie Hearn was saying yesterday
Love to see Simon interview Hearn and Warren at the same time,
I am telling you right now, tyson fury will announce his retirement after ngannou fight, he doesnt want to fight anymore.
Yeah, I think he’s terribly conflicted.
@Proxima2 oh yes terrible conflicted 😂.. terrible conflicted? What you on about chap?
Agree with you. I believe that Fury was damaged against Wilder in that third fight and he is reluctant to go through that punishment again. Plus he wants to finish his career unbeaten. Usyk brings considerable jeopardy to the ring as do fighters like Zhang, Hrgovic, Joyce and even Joshua. Fury simply does not fancy getting hurt anymore. We have no idea what lasting damage those Wilder punches had on Fury. We do know however, that Fury was considerably hurt in that fourth round of their third fight.
@@adgepeterb what I mean by conflicted is Fury on one hand doesn’t want to risk his health anymore fighting competitively. He’s well aware of the risks of repetitive brain injury and these heavyweights don’t mess around trying to knock each other’s head off. He’s won all the belts in the heavyweight division and I think he’s satisfied with that. Boxing for all the belts at the same time to be a four-belt undisputed champion isn’t a goal of his. However, on the other hand, he doesn’t have anything else in his professional life other than boxing which gives him the same satisfaction. Boxing is all he knows, all he’s bred to do, and without it there’d be a huge hole in his life. All this is public knowledge as Fury has given many interviews about it. His wife and father have talked about it too. No doubt he’s searching for a solution to his dilemma but I don’t think he’s found it yet.
He has already retired and unretired several times by now, so nobody will take that seriously. If he does retire for good, good luck to him. Hope he enjoys the rest of his life.
Fury the best boxer who hasn’t fought anyone 😂😂😂😂
Klitschcko and wilder 3 times 😮 he's fought nobody 🤣
@@realnesxhe thought both of them when he had nothing to lose.
Turned to drugs to avoid the klitchsko rematch.
Had to be taken to court to fight wilder again after winning the belt.
Worst champ ever
@@realnesxOne was past his prime, the other is just a puncher, Fury is the cancer of the HW
Tyson avoids these fighters
considering the amount of hype around him you expect a lot more
two pals having a lovely chat. Hardly 'pulling no punches'.
A very refreshing interview, Frank gives straight forward answers to Simon's straight forward questions, all done in a an amiable but slightly combative manner.
No questions to frank about how he always has legal court cases with boxers over money and how his last promotions company went bust owing people money??
He was literally asked that question, did you even watch the interview? 🤣
18 likes? He literally asked him this question. All just keeps burying your heads in the sand/up Eddie's arse👍
@@z388zand he lied his way out of it again, you cant have 7-8 boxers all saying he's done me out of money and they all be wrong lol. If anyone believes Frank over the fighters they are absolutely clueless. Hes the biggest conman UK boxing has ever seen.
Oh for fucks sake...watch the fucking interview....these bloody people 😂
@@z388z thanks, i didnt even watch it just commented presuming jordan will just give frank an easy ride lol
"Joshua didn't take a hiding in that fight"
"Joshua had the crap beating out of him in his last few fights"
Make your mind up Franky boy
Fury bottled the Usyk fight end of, genuinely worried about Ukrainian. As for Warren,I loved the insight,no nonsense attitude. Great show
What Frank is basically saying is...F*** the fans,i just want money!.
Doesn't give a toss about making the big fights,or trying to give the boxing fans what they want.
Maybe Simon should grill Frank like he does Hearn...yeah,not going to happen is it.
Glad Simon grilled Frank about offering usyk 70-30 oh yeah hang on a minute he didnt at all 😂😂
Usyk accepted the 70-30 and the rematch but cancelled the fight because and I quote usyk manager "usyk mama might not get tickets" yup that's the only reason we were told why the fight didn't happen
70/30 was too generous at £13m. Usyk is only being paid £6m to face Dubois. Fury should only have offered Usyk 80/20.
@@goncaloamaral7846 wah wah wah 😅😅
@grocksta oh ok yeah im sure that was the reason. Quick question is there an exam you have to take first to measure your level of delusion before you become a Fury fanboy? 😅
This is what hearn was talking about on talkshite, Jordan drills down to specifics and goes ham on everyone except his mate bricktop. Everyone can see this even fury fans, its honestly undeniable that warren gets the easy pass in all interviews. If hearn had done what Warren had done with AJ and told the out right lies and half truths he dis Jordan wouldn't let him off the hook at all. This is a disgrace.
Yeah, because Hearn is covering up for drug cheats. He needs to be asked tough questions.
@saulwest8254 Fury is a known drug cheat and warrens covering for him, what's the difference
@@saulwest8254 hearn isn't able to cover up anything any boxer does regarding drugs. There are multiple independent organisations that do and monitor drug testing you absolute blunt weapon.
@@gredax Warren owes mountains of money to boxers he has been proven to be corrupt due to not fulfilling contracts and going bust in the past. He is as corrupt as bricktop from snatch.
@@v4vendetta237 he is, National anti doping panel cleared Benn on the grounds of jurisdiction. UKAD can't do nothing as he didn't fail a UKAD test. They didn't clear him because he is innocent. Amir Khan wasn't so lucky, he failed a UKAD test. Hearn should terminate Benn's contract like he did Whytes. He is protecting a drug cheat.
Usyk accepted 70/30 because he thought he’d make money on the rematch when he won but Tyson withdrew the rematch clause. He chickened out He’s thought no one
When (a retired) Floyd Mayweather fought Conor MgGregor- Frank Warren wrote a column saying it was “all hype” & he didn’t watch it
Now Frank is doing the same - EXCEPT Fury still holds the WBC belt. Shameless! 😂
Mayweather was years past his best. Fury and Ngannou are still top of their game.
Well done for comparing apples to oranges.
@@simonhhI'll take it your all for this shit show
@@simonhh
The fact that Fury is the WBC HW Champion is what makes this fight so bad, he should be fighting boxers.
All your comment has done is further prove his point.

We need a PART 2! THIS IS EPIC!!!!
Can we all come back to this video tomorrow??!!!
The Tyson fight - it's one of those fights that i'll just watch on TH-cam when I wake up.
Didn’t scrutinise him over paying fighters very hard.
Was that why he got shot🤔. Asking not suggesting.
What a great interview - nice one, Simon. And what a top guy Frank seems to be! 😁👏
The Eddie Hearn lovers are just too much. Frank Warren says many times "let me finish", same as Eddie does. The difference here is...Eddie and Frank Smith slag Jordan off all of the time, Frank Warren doesn't, he's happy to debate. Eddie Hearn refused to go on TalkSport for ages after the correct criticism of him following the Benn scenario. It's also to do with human nature, you can tell Frank Warren is deeply passionate and not lying, with Eddie Hearn I think he comes across a lot differently ego wise.
Excellent interview. Well done.
Imagine how long this interview would've been if Frank hadn't cut half the stories short!! 😁🤣
Exactly
I like Simon Jordan, but Eddie Hearn was conpletely right when he spoke about the energy that he brings when Jordan speaks to him compared to others.
I watch this four times, can’t get enough of Frank
Surely Usyk Fury would be a bigger event, didn't want the joshua fight either. He could be rated one of the best but have to fight the best
Regardless of what anyone thinks of FW and/or what he has or hasn't done, I really enjoyed this interview. 👍🥊
Same, I really like Frank and wanted to know more.
Nah I feel like it was a waste of time
He asked some of right questions but just let Frank lie unchallenged
Frank is clearly thinks British boxing is his Devine right .. and he’s the reason for massive decline boxing - the non payments, the fleecing fighters , worst undercard’s , the corruption - frank was literally behind all the grease…
at least Eddie Hearn step up took it back.
Let’s hope Warren era ends soon
I’m with you. Enjoyed this massively
@@activistbook3809 You weren't looking to know more about Frank Warren, you wanted Warren to be angrily challenged so of course you're going to leave feeling disappointed.
The interaction between the two of them at the introduction to this just set the precedence to the whole podcast.
Fantastic interview 👍🇬🇧
Could not be a more 180 degree interview in terms of tone from when Simon talks to Hearn 😂
Eddle was right about the energy being different when Simon talks to him compared to Frank.
Do you always take the same approach (stop saying energy as if you're a 14 year old girl on tiktok) towards different people, regardless of who they are?
He prefers Frank to Eddie, and it shows. So what?
@tsampson6660 I'm using the word energy because that's literally the word they were arguing over in the talksport interview. And so what is right if he prefers Frank, I don't care, but Simon denied treating them differently and I think he did. It's not that deep mate.
Maybe as a "journalist" you should be putting your biases aside when conducting supposed professional interviews. Quite simple really@@tsampson6660
A top episode, with great insights. Really enjoyed this one.
Thoroughly entertaining interview! Loved it!🙌
Its actually sad how nasty he his about former and current boxers he has to be the most bitter man alive he has never took a punch in a ring and has done very well out of the sport
True Tyson floored him in Manchester app back in the day , over some stuff with diamonds. Decked him hard and swift.
If you’re a fan of boxing don’t pay for this circus! Vote with your wallet! 🥊
The more money they make from this circus, the less reason they have to make proper boxing matches in the future 🥊
Great interview, very enjoyable 👍
Great stuff again. Love it.
Thank you for adding timestamps, so annoying on these podcasts when you need to scrub through
He was blaming everyone to going to Saudi yet he's the only one who's has a fighter fighting there this year
Jus wanna say thanks Simon love the shows m8 👌🏾👊🏽
1987 or 89 i met Mr Warren at Covent garden tube station , the lift was broke. I said hello he politely said whats going on here mate? We walked the approximately 365 steps together, he doesn't look any different, for me he's a top geezer.
"A Dog with fleas" had me howling 😂😂😂😂
Great interview again 🙌🏼thank you
The Joe Calzaghe stories 😂😂
Listening to Frankie about Saudi Arabia is very contradictory because when Eddie Hearn first put on a show there AJ VS Ruiz 2 Frankie was very critical and was talking about human rights etc. Now he is saying its a game changer !
BRILLIANT INTERVIEW!!
Two grown men debating, arguing, agreeing, but speaking like gentlemen.
No one-upmanship, no childish quips.
Hopefully Simon has grown some balls and asks the right questions for example about Sugar hills comments.
Finished watching it. Still not grown.
@@t.f.1345Haha go and have your cry
What did Sugar hill say?
@@liamreilly3873 This is where they pretend Fury ducked Usyk because Sugarhill was not there to train him
@@liamreilly3873 sugat hill was asked in several interviews on Match 2023 about the potential fury usyk fight. Sugar Hill exposed fury and said that he never trained fury. He hasnt started camp yet and so on whilst fury was claiming to be in camp with sugar hill. But sugar was only there to prepeare and train okolie and had his Return flight booked for march 28th. So sugar indirectly confirmes that fury never intensded ro fight usyk.
Fury Vs Ngannou is like a prime Barcelona or Man City Vs a Sunday league team in a World cup final
Djokovic against a badminton player in the Wimbledon final :/
@@johnh1252 exactly
Difference being, you wouldn’t sell to many tickets or ppv‘s t.o see Barcelona vs Sunday league team in a World Cup final,
Whereas fury vs Ngannou will probably break records. Simples
This was a great interview, I love listenig to Frank Warran.
Fantastic interview.
still waiting for all these hard hitting interviews we were promised
Pure bolloks
Look mate 10 mins in and he's already grilled him over ripping off and not supporting his fighters
the starting intro when warren lives his head up was literally movie star material
😂
frank warren is the main reason why fury vs joshua has not happened, warren holds fury back
Another good one Si!! Keep em coming 👍
I was a former fighter (albeit not a very good one) and alot of the guys in my stable always moaned about the treatment they got fighting away on frank warren shows. Im not a huge fan of eddie hearn but according to colleagues he always payed away and home fighters fairly and on time (according to my knowledge)
*Wilder would give Fury a serious battle in a fourth regardless of what anyone says.*
Another great interview. Definitely the best in the business Simon. Any chance you could get Tony Adams on. Would be very interesting and also you are doppelgangers.
What a great interview best I've ever watched respect.
Franks only excuse for the ngannou fight is 'its gonna be a big event, its huge money' nobody is disputing that just fight a credible challenge
Convinced Simon is an avid Star Wars fan. Loves throwing the word Rancor in there on this pod 😂
No parent should ever swear on their children’s lives, even if they are telling the truth, not ever, it’s just shows what kind of person Frank Warren is
oh come off it. you could say the same about swearing on your parents lives. it's says nothing about the person you are
You’re trying too hard. Frank is emphasising that he’s telling the truth not trying to put his children at risk. Your comment reveals more about you
I agree with you
So true
Brilliant pod,really interesting how he broke through on Thames tv,opening the door for everyone else to follow,good stuff simon
Really enjoyed that with Frank. He made sure he got a word in over u Simon. Seems like u u have respect for him. All the best boys
