“Eddie Hearn Fires Back at Oscar De La Hoya: ‘Are You OK?’ Amidst Transatlantic Feud”
In the high-stakes world of boxing promotions, tensions have reached a boiling point as Oscar De La Hoya, the Golden Boy himself, wages war against the encroaching forces of Eddie Hearn and HE Turki Alalshikh. The battleground? Social media, where verbal jabs fly faster than fists in the ring.
De La Hoya’s latest salvo came in the form of a blunt dismissal of Devin Haney’s plea for a rematch with Ryan Garcia, a move that sent shockwaves through the boxing community. Taking to Instagram, the former champion spared no words in shutting down any speculation of a sequel fight, leaving Haney and his supporters reeling from the unexpected blow. But De La Hoya’s ire wasn’t limited to Haney; it extended to his long-time rival, Eddie Hearn, and the Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, HE Turki Alalshikh.
“Good luck with Eddie but there will not be a rematch,” Oscar commented
He further emphasized his point by adding, “Good luck in your career and good luck with Eddie, a European promoter trying to make it in the US.”
For De La Hoya, this latest skirmish is part of a larger battle to protect his turf in the boxing world. With the influx of new players like Hearn and Alalshikh making moves into the US market, De La Hoya is determined to defend his territory against what he sees as unwanted intruders. His rallying cry of “This is war!!!” echoes across social media platforms, signaling his unwavering commitment to maintaining his dominance in the promotional landscape.
Eddie for the sake of British Boxing just stay in the UK and promote, leave the real promoters to the US market where boxing matters.”
“hundreds of millions of dollars building nothing in the US.” Not one to stay on the ropes, Hearn quickly countered, “@oscardelahoya genuinely are you ok? You stalk me like a crazed fan. You had a great win on Saturday yet I consume your mind 24/7.” He defended his global credentials, boasting, “I am a global promoter with 18 World Champions (you have 4). I have big plans to work with everyone to grow the sport globally and have some fantastic talent in the US market.”
But Hearn, never one to back down from a fight, fired back with equal ferocity, labeling De La Hoya a “crazed fan” and questioning his obsession with their rivalry. In a series of heated exchanges on Instagram, the two titans clashed over their respective achievements and global ambitions, with Hearn boasting of his vast stable of world champions and plans for global expansion.
As the war of words rages on, the boxing world watches with bated breath, wondering who will emerge victorious in this battle for supremacy. Will De La Hoya defend his turf against the onslaught of Hearn and Alalshikh, or will the upstart promoters succeed in challenging the Golden Boy’s reign? Only time will tell as the drama unfolds both inside and outside the ring.
