There might not be any mega-boxing events this holiday weekend, but some boxing promoter drama is brewing.
On Thursday, instead of enjoying some turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy, Oscar De La Hoya hopped on his Instagram for his weekly Clap Back Thursdays series (which is now deleted), and boy oh boy, he ripped into fellow boxing promoter Eddie Hearn.
First, he trashed Hearn for his handling of WBC Lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson, but what followed really went personal. âGolden Boyâ brought up rumors that Hearn is allegedly in a relationship with female boxer Skye Nicolson, who holds the WBC Featherweight title.
âSo Eddie, you made a fool of yourself in the ring in Dallas after the Katie Taylor fight,â De La Hoya said. âThe co-founder of Jake Paulâs company, Most Valuable Promotions, Nakisa Bidarian, is questioning your erratic behavior. I think I may know the answer. Itâs no secret that Eddie and Skye Nicolson have been linked romantically since 2022. Rumors have been flying about them in the boxing community for years.â
âAnd as I investigate further, itâs becoming clear that thereâs likely some unethical and preferential treatment happening here,â De La Hoya continued. âHere you are in Miami with Skye outside a club, you look mighty uncomfortable walking away from the camera as soon as you saw it. You guys look pretty cozy. Eddie, when you shouldâve been focused on promoting the trilogy between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor, which would likely be the biggest fight ever in womenâs history, you were focused immediately on setting up your rumored girlfriend to fight Amanda Serrano.â
âYou made it too obvious, my man. No wonder youâre like 0-16 this year; youâre distracted as hell. Eddie, I know youâre a trust fund kid, and nobody showed you how men are supposed to behave, so hereâs a few lessons,â De La Hoya concluded. âWe donât get our steaks well done, we donât go to brunch, and we sure as hell donât sh-t where we eat. Get it together, dude.â
So, yeah, that got really personal, really fast, especially because Hearn is married.
Hearn was reportedly told multiple YouTube âcontent creatorsâ that he will not talk about Nicolson. But he did reveal he will fight De La Hoya if the money is right.
I thought this was going to be about AJ.

absolutely unreal that he feels comfortable talking like this. plus floyd does get his steak well done.
Well Iâd have a hard time not making an attempt myself if she was looking like this. Unfortunately being her promoter is a bad look considering others under your banner will feel you are favouring your girl over other females in your stable.
Oscar releases a âclap back Thursdayâ album nice a week
I am a huge fan of it, I highly suggest that you follow his social media just to watch it
Jesus! No wonder heâs on that!
this isnt threadworthy but as Eddie gets mentioned skip to 6.58 to see him pulling his hair out thinking about negotiating with Chris Eubank, does a brutal impression.
also fun moments: 50 seconds in, great story about the time Chris impulsively decided to bring a homeless man to live in the family home and Chris badly pissing off Frank Warren at 4.15
