Frank Warren accuses talkSPORT host of ‘talking b*******’ to his face in heated discussion

Frank Warren has told talkSPORT's Adam Catterall to his face that the way he talks about Tyson Fury is a 'disgrace'.

The hall-of-fame promoter had previously taken issue with a speech that Catterall did about Fury that was viewed millions of times on social media.

The boxing journalist highlighted some contradictory statements that Fury had made during his past negotiations with Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua.

Outside of that speech, Catterall had also described the last few years in the heavyweight division as 'warm lager'.

But, following Warren's show over the weekend, headlined by Denzel Bentley vs Nathan Heaney, he confronted Catterall in person.

Warren wanted to make it clear to Catterall that Fury 'never ducked anybody' and he described what the talkSPORT host had been saying as 'frustrating and annoying'.

At one point during the discussion, Catterall attempted to explain that Fury's own Netflix documentary had appeared to show him being obstructive during last years negotiations with Joshua.

But, Warren snapped and said: "Stop talking b***ocks."

Warren went on to say: "So don't keep digging Tyson Fury out, because it's a liberty what you do with him.

"It's a disgrace to keep having a go at him the way that you do, it's disrespectful to him."

With that being said, Catterall wanted to end things on a positive note, as he finished the debate by saying: "Can we shake hands?"

To which Warren replied: "We can shake hands, but stop talking b***ocks."

Simon Jordan defended talkSPORT host Catterall on the White and Jordan show on Monday morning, calling him 'one of the best in the business.

He said: “I would have liked to have been there, irrespective of how the conversation went between me and Eddie Hearn. 

“Eddie Hearn came into the studio, we had a ding-dong, whoever won that battle is irrelevant. In that conversation, the difference between myself and Adam is Adam is slightly mindful, I think, of the consequences of the commercial relationship between talkSPORT and Queensbury. I couldn't give a monkey's a*** about it. 

“I would have told Frank exactly what I think of his sentiments about who does what, when, how and why, and why Tyson Fury is not being picked upon.

“Tyson Fury is being held accountable for what he said. Tyson Fury has been lionised by this platform on numerous occasions, and in recent times, he's been pulled up on a couple of things that he said. Adam Cattrall is one of the best boxing observers in this country. 

“He doesn't have any agenda, doesn't have any motivation, he calls it as he sees it and what Frank did was a liberty. 

“I don't blame him for doing it, because he's protecting his pitch, he's having his opinion. And they talk about arguments, they say, well, the problem with you guys is you can have the last word. 

“They won't have the balls to come in and debate people because they can't.”

Regardless of who was wrong or right in this discussion, one thing that can't be denied is that the expected upcoming schedule in the heavyweight division is anything but 'warm lager'.

On December 23, Joshua will fight Otto Wallin, while Deontay Wilder will come up against Joseph Parker on the same card with the view that AJ and 'The Bronze Bomber' will clash next year.

Fighting on the undercard will be Dmitry Bivol, Daniel Dubois, Filip Hrgovic, Jai Opetaia and many others.

And as if that weren't enough to look forward to, Fury and Usyk will fight for the undisputed heavyweight world titles on February 17 in Saudi Arabia.
