Eddie Hearn insists he is ‘NOT disappointed to lose the Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte purse bid’ as he believes Frank Warren could ‘lose millions’ after tabling a record £31m for the WBC event

Eddie Hearn says he is not disappointed about losing the purse bid for Tyson Fury's clash with Dillian Whyte.

The Matchroom promoter tabled a £24million bid but was outdone by rival promoter Frank Warren who offered £31m - a record amount for a WBC event.

As a result, Warren will now stage the fight - which is likely to take place at either the Cardiff's Principality Stadium or West Ham's London Stadium in April.
