Tyson Fury has trolled Eddie Hearn in his latest post mocking Dillian Whyte for his silence after the pair's fight went to purse bids.
Hearn's Matchroom Boxing placed a bid to stage Fury's mandatory heavyweight title defence against Whyte that would have broken records, but were comfortably beaten by Frank Warren and Bob Arum.
Fury's promoters will now take control of the bout, with an April 23 date in a UK stadium expected for the champion's first fight in his homeland since 2018.
And he has taken to social media to mock Whyte and Hearn, sharing a meme that shows edited photos of Hearn, having aged decades, and Warren looking many years younger.
Fury captioned the meme: "Since the purse bids," alongside a laughing emoji.
"After Dillian Whyte tells Eddie that he is not getting a cut of his purse."
Hearn has remained uncharacteristically silent after the purse bids went Warren's way, and will now likely focus on the rematch between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk that is expected to take place later this year.
There had been talks of a step aside deal that would take Joshua and Whyte out of their obligated title fights to allow Fury to face Usyk in the Middle East, but a deal never materialised.
Arum claims an issue with broadcast rights as well as complications over the logistics of the step aside deals and finding a date were all issues.
But Hearn has argued that Fury "bottled" the opportunity to fight Usyk by not forcing the deal through, claiming that the Brit wanted a ten-round warm-up fight in March.
"Fury's made it clear... I see all his instagram stuff laughy laughy, but he's actually the one who didn't want to fight Usyk," Hearn told Boxing Social just hours before the purse bid.
However, Arum has explained that the logistics of the deal were just too difficult to get through when it came to an undisputed fight.

And it is expected that the winners of Fury vs Whyte and Usyk vs Joshua 2 will face each other given that there will be no mandatory challengers and no contractual obligations.
"That was a whole deal that was so convoluted," Arum told FightHype of the doomed Usyk bout. "With all good intentions on their [the Middle Eastern country's] part, it wasn't going to happen.
"Not only did they have to pay for the Usyk fight with Fury, they also had to pay step aside to Joshua which was a huge amount and step aside for two fights to Whyte.
"Then there was a whole problem with the television rights and it wasn't going to come together."
Whyte has yet to officially accept the fight, despite being offered over $8million and a win bonus that would take him over the $10m he initially wanted.
The WBC have placed a deadline of February 21 for Whyte to sign to fight Fury, with their mandated split staying at 80-20.
