Simon Jordan and Frank Warren get into an EXPLOSIVE argument over talkSPORT's 'preposterous' ban from Tyson Fury's fights

Simon Jordan tangled with Frank Warren in an explosive argument over the fighter’s blanket ban on talkSPORT from covering his fights.

Fury issued the ban in October 2023 in the wake of comments made by Jordan that his team believe suggested the heavyweight had ducked his unification bout with Oleksandr Usyk earlier that year.

The long-awaited undisputed fight finally took place in Riyadh on Saturday, with Fury failing to overcome the Ukrainian former cruiserweight on the biggest stage of all and Usyk winning via split decision.

Fury’s brother Shane announced the ban stressing that: ‘talkSPORT and Simon Jordan will never have anything to do with Tyson again.’

While Jordan was adamant at the time he remained a fan of the boxer’s, he showed no compunctions arguing against the ban with Fury’s promoter Warren, who continues to regularly appear on the broadcaster.

‘I think the way Tyson’s been engaged and the ban that’s been put on talksport is preposterous,’ Jordan said in a video clip shared on social media. ‘I have been a major advocate of his over the years.

‘I have had to listen to Tyson’s disposition on (me) losing money and what I am etc. And there comes a point where people are getting fed up with it.’

Jordan was referencing the March 2023 social media fracas which saw Fury call Jordan a ‘little b****’, tease him for ‘losing £100million’, and said he was a ‘little sausage’.

‘You’re a big boy, you should be able to take it too,’ Warren hit back.

When Jordan agreed with this, and Warren’s comment that ‘you can’t dish it out if you can’t take it’, before the promoter added: ‘You’re not in a position, nor is it going to happen, that he wants to build any bridges with you.’

When Jordan said that he ‘couldn’t care less’, the Queensberry chief sniped: ‘But I’m not bringing it up, you’re bringing it up.

‘I find it very simplistic. If he is continuously getting stick, he doesn’t have to speak to you. He is under no obligation to speak to you, and some fighters don’t even talk to the press.’

‘You guys take all the compliments and none of the criticism and I expected better,’ Jordan added.

‘So did I from you, because what you’ve not done any time is mention he’s got bipolar,’ Warren responded, which prompted Jordan to reply: ‘If I’d written a column about Tyson Fury’s medical condition, you’d have been all over me like a rash.’

Earlier in the conversation, Warren had brought up Fury’s diagnosis, suggesting that the fighter’s mental health condition had played a role in his remarks after Saturday’s fight.

Fury was criticised in the aftermath for implying that the ongoing conflict in Ukraine had played a role in the fight’s adjudication and outcome.

‘Tyson is bipolar,’ Warren had said. ‘If you go on the NHS site and look at what the symptoms are of bipolar, some of the things is saying exactly what is on your mind.

‘If it’s in your mind, you say it. That is one of the symptoms, unfortunately.

‘With Tyson, he’s said in the past, “I’ve retired”. And a couple of months later, “I’m fighting again”. That’s unfortunately one of the things that happens with people who suffer from a dreadful illness.

‘It was called manic depression years ago, now it’s called bipolar. It’s all well documented the problems he’s had down the years. Tyson is a warrior.’

When Warren later stressed that the pair were ‘never going to agree’ on how the media has discussed Fury’s mental health diagnosis, Jordan said it was because the promoter was incorrect.

‘Because you’re bloody wrong, and you’re defending Tyson because it represents a commercial interest to you,’ Jordan continued.

Warren argued that the Jordan was in the same, only for the pundit to disagree.

‘No I don’t,’ Jordan hit back. ‘It’s not about commercial objectivity, it’s about calling things as they really are becase most people don’t, and you and your boy can’t take it when it’s put on your toes.’
