Chris Eubank Jr has come under fire for appearing to stop Eddie Hearn from paying tribute to the late Ricky Hatton.

British boxing legend Hatton was found dead at his home in Greater Manchester on Sunday morning, and had a fitting tribute paid to him at the start of the launch press conference for Eubank Jr and Conor Benn 's upcoming sequel.

However, when Hearn tried to say some words about Hatton, he was interrupted by Eubank Jr.

"Just a couple of words.... 30 seconds about Ricky Hatton ," said Hearn as the Brighton boxer interjected.

"Eddie, come on, Eddie," remarked Eubank Jr. "No, there are no 30 seconds, you know the drill.

"You know the drill, I am not going to listen to anything you say."

Hearn then fired back: "I won't say anything, you're an a******e and you talk s***."
