Anthony Joshua vs Dillian Whyte 2 was a highly anticipated bout this August. Unfortunately, fans won’t be able to watch this rematch happen as the Matchroom promotion recently called off the match after Whyte’s failed drug test. However, the cancellation of this bout has raised a big debate between Machroom Promoter Eddie Hearn and former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan.
During a recent appearance on talkSPORT, host Simon Jordan and Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn got into a heated argument over Joshua vs Whyte 2 cancellation. The argument started after Jordan compared Hearn’s previous handling of British boxer Conor Benn. Later, the argument also dragged Anthony Joshua, who will be fighting replacement fighter Robert Helenius.
Both men have equally argued on their facts and opposed each other. Hearn clearly took control of the debate with his defensive words about the federation rules and other aspects around Anthony Joshua. However, things escalate even more after Jordan adds fuel to Hearn’s handling of a similar situation with Conor Benn, where he had time to call off the Eubank Jr. vs Benn.
The clash continues between the two individuals as they have reached new heights to degrade each other in their highly fueled debate.

Simon Jordan reveals recovery from Prostate Cancer
After being absent for a few weeks, fans questioned Simon Jordan’s long-term role in the talkSport show Jordan and White show. However, recently, talkSport host and former Crystal Palace Chairman Simon Jordan revealed suffering from prostate cancer for a long time. During his recent podcast, the 55-year-old revealed that he is actively recovering from the condition.
“I had no symptoms of prostate cancer and had no reason to believe I faced any challenges, but someone very close to me did have challenges, so I went on and had a simple blood test. And from that it produced results that drove me in the direction of significant surgery. I’m recovering from cancer, prostate cancer, and I’ve had some quite significant surgery two weeks ago.”
Later, the 55-year-old also delivered a short awareness message for the audience about prostate cancer.
“It ‘s one of those situations where if men don’t take it seriously – well people are losing lives over it. And it’s really really avoidable. What would you rather die of – embarrassment or this particular ordeal?”
