ESPN's Stephen A. Smith has stated his belief that his new TV partner Shannon Sharpe was 'pushed out' of FOX Sports' debate show 'Undisputed'.

Smith - who hosts the popular 'First Take', where Sharpe now makes guest appearances - spoke on 'The Joe Budden Podcast' about his new co-worker.

'I'm telling you he was pushed out,' Smith said. 'It's fact. They can deny it. He wouldn't. I can promise you that. He was pushed out.

'He didn't want to leave. He was notified that your services would no longer be needed. That's his story to tell. I'm telling you what I know. I'm giving you facts.'
