Frank Warren has hit out at Eddie Hearn and broadcaster DAZN, telling him to focus on his "app" rather than addressing Tyson Fury's clash with Dillian Whyte.
Warren recently won purse bids for the heavyweight clash between Fury and Whyte, submitting a £31million offer to trump Hearn and DAZN's record-breaking previous bid.
Hearn has worked with Whyte for several years on a fight-by-fight basis and has continued to address questions when asked about the domestic showdown.
His rival promoter has hit out at him for getting "involved with everything" and is focused on dealing with Whyte's lawyers to stage the fight.
“Hearn has his hands full now," Warren told talkSPORT. "He’s got that fight to get on and why does he keep banging on about what we’re doing for?
“Our fight is going to be on BT Box Office, it’s going to be a great fight to watch. Afterwards, they can go and watch all those shows Eddie [Hearn] is putting on his app.
“If he [Hearn] had his way, he’d be involved in everything. He’d have your job as well. What he had going for him is that he put in the highest ever purse bid, he held the record for putting in the highest ever purse bid… for 10 seconds.
“He should be delighted with that and move on. He says more about the fight than I do and I put the winning bit in. We are dealing with Dillian’s lawyer. It’s up to him if he wants to talk, I have no control over him.
"For whatever reason, if he wants to bring Hearn on board, I don’t know why he would, but that’s his choice."
The heavyweight clash will be staged by Warren and his promotional label Queensberry Promotions in the UK securing Fury a return to home soil.
Hearn wanted to stage the fight on new broadcasting platform DAZN who planned to launch a pay-per-view service.
Who will win- Tyson Fury or Dillian Whyte? Let us know your prediction in the comments section below
Warren and Hearn have clashed throughout their promotional careers and have struggled to work together to stage bouts.
Whyte has largely remained silent over a clash despite his rival's demands to speak out, which Hearn has explained is largely due to his "disbelief" remaining that a fight will not take place.
But the Matchroom Boxing kingpin has now confirmed a contract has been received and he will continue to "back" his charge if required.
“I don’t envisage many problems," Hearn told talkSPORT. "I’ve got no involvement. I lost the purse bids. I work fight-by-fight with Dillian, he’s a close friend of mine.
“I guess [my involvement is] whatever he wants me to do in the fight. We talk to his team virtually every day, we have done for the entire last two months.
"But Frank won’t really want me involved in the promotion which is no problem, I’ve got enough on my plate if they don’t want me to help in the promotion."
