Simon Jordan has accused Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn of ‘bullying’ BOXXER chief Ben Shalom.

On Thursday, Hearn and Shalom were seen clashing on stage while Joshua Buatsi and Willy Hutchinson faced off at the Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois undercard press conference.

According to Shalom, he made a joke about the Matchroom Boxing promoter being front and centre for a staredown that didn’t feature anyone from his roster.

He then alleged that Hearn responded by threatening to ‘knock him out’.

Hearn brushed off the tense exchange, recounting to Boxing Social: “I think it was a bit of a joke really.

“He just came up and said ‘What are you doing in this picture?’ and I said ‘I’ll knock you out’ – something like that.

“I felt bad because he froze like a ghost and now he’s doing all these interviews saying he got threatened.”

Meanwhile, in a later interview, Warren and Hearn were asked if they would consider a 5 vs 5 show with Shalom, prompting the Queensberry boss to question whether BOXXER has five fighters worthy of competing in such an event.

Jordan reposted a clip from the interview on X and tweeted: “These two didn’t talk or even meet for 15 years by their own admission.

“Now someone is picking up the tab they are the makers of great fight cards… You couldn’t write it… and they actually believe their own nonsense.”

Warren then accused the talkSPORT host of being ‘offended’, sparking an impassioned reply on the Tuesday afternoon edition of the White and Jordan show.

“Who said I am offended? The only one who has taken offence is Frank,” said the former Crystal Palace chairman.

Jordan has labelled Hearn and Warren ‘bullies’talkSPORT

“What I pointed out was there was a piece of social media where Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren have got together to take the mickey out of Ben Shalom.

“I like Ben Shalom and whatever vested interests I may or may not have in Ben Shalom’s business is nobody else’s business.

“Frank Warren knows I have spent a lot of time making sure the relationship between Queensberry and Ben Shalom is very good.

“And I’ve heard a lot of things being said about Ben Shalom by various people and when I hear a video of Frank and Eddie taking the mickey out of Ben and the 5 vs 5 when these two couldn’t speak for 15 years, I think it is quite laughable.

“And when I hear Eddie up on the stage saying he is going to punch him in the mouth as a reason for Ben having a viewpoint on whether he should be on the stage in the first place, I think there is an element of bullying.

“Ben has got to stand up for himself. The reason it annoys me, so far that it does annoy me, because it doesn’t really, is because I remember being a 31-year-old football club owner and watching the little gang over there trying to marginalise me.

“Eddie and Frank are watching this young promoter making lots of mistakes, which most 31-year-olds who are learning the trade do, with a blue-chip broadcaster.

“And they don’t like it and they want to kill it in the cradle.

“And so when I say bullying, Frank is absolutely right, you have got to be a big boy and you’ve got to stand up to it…

“What these boxing guys do is they take something and they go ‘Let’s redirect it’.

“I’m not offended, I’m saying that you two are laughable. You’ll sit there and go ‘Ben Shalom can’t even make the 5 vs 5, he doesn’t even put fighters in there.

“You couldn’t talk for 15 years and the reason you can now talk is because someone has rocked into the room [HE Turki Alalshikh] and paid for everything.

“You can turn around philanthropic Frank and say that you bankrolled Daniel Dubois for a period of time, fantastic I bankrolled footballers for a period of time, you invest in their potential.

“But you don’t bankroll them no more and the reason all these big fights are happening now is because someone else is picking up the tab, Frank.”
