On Thursday, as a substitute of having fun with some turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy, Oscar De La Hoya hopped on his Instagram for his weekly Clap Again Thursdays sequence (which is now deleted), and boy oh boy, he ripped into fellow boxing promoter Eddie Hearn.
First, he trashed Hearn for his dealing with of WBC Light-weight champion Shakur Stevenson, however what adopted actually went private. “Golden Boy” introduced up rumors that Hearn is allegedly in a relationship with feminine boxer Skye Nicolson, who holds the WBC Featherweight title.
“So Eddie, you made a idiot of your self within the ring in Dallas after the Katie Taylor combat,” De La Hoya stated. “The co-founder of Jake Paul’s firm, Most Useful Promotions, Nakisa Bidarian, is questioning your erratic habits. I feel I’ll know the reply. It’s no secret that Eddie and Skye Nicolson have been linked romantically since 2022. Rumors have been flying about them within the boxing neighborhood for years.”
“And as I examine additional, it’s changing into clear that there’s doubtless some unethical and preferential therapy taking place right here,” De La Hoya continued. “Right here you’re in Miami with Skye exterior a membership, you look mighty uncomfortable strolling away from the digital camera as quickly as you noticed it. You guys look fairly cozy. Eddie, when you need to’ve been centered on selling the trilogy between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor, which might doubtless be the most important combat ever in girls’s historical past, you have been centered instantly on organising your rumored girlfriend to combat Amanda Serrano.”
“You made it too apparent, my man. No surprise you’re like 0-16 this 12 months; you’re distracted as hell. Eddie, I do know you’re a belief fund child, and no person confirmed you the way males are purported to behave, so right here’s a number of classes,” De La Hoya concluded. “We don’t get our steaks properly completed, we don’t go to brunch, and we positive as hell don’t sh-t the place we eat. Get it collectively, dude.”
So, yeah, that acquired actually private, actually quick, particularly as a result of Hearn is married.
Hearn was reportedly instructed a number of YouTube ‘content material creators’ that he is not going to speak about Nicolson. However he did reveal he’ll combat De La Hoya if the cash is true.
