In the wake of fight fixing claims, Eddie Hearn has filed a lawsuit against Jake Paul for over $100 million

Amanda Serrano, a boxer who holds multiple titles, had her first loss in April, when she was defeated by Katie Taylor through split decision. Serrano’s opponent was Katie Taylor. Because of this, her promoter Jake Paul had the wrong idea about some aspects of the competition, particularly the judging.

“I still think Amanda Serrano won the fight [over Katie Taylor],” Paul said.

“Then you see how this judge Glenn Feldman, who had the biggest gap between Taylor and Serrano. Everyone pretty much had it a draw… a draw or that Amanda won.

“But there’s this judge, Glenn Feldman, who scored it such a big gap for Taylor, gave rounds that Amanda clearly won, to Taylor.

“Then this judge, Glenn Feldman, shows up in Saudi and scores Anthony Joshua to win. Everyone who watched the fight it’s not a split decision. Usyk had a runaway victory, clearly won the fight. This judge, Glenn Feldman, gives it to Anthony Joshua? It’s like a repeated crime here.

“This type of shit, I’m going to call it out here in boxing because it’s bullshit. Clearly, this guy is getting paid money by Matchroom Boxing.”

Eddie Hearn responded with the following statement,

“We take our values as a business and a family, very, very seriously. We love the sport of boxing. For him to come out with idiotic comments without even thinking about what he said, is extremely harmful for me and us as a business, and very disrespectful to us as a business and a family,” Hearn said.

“(Jake Paul) doesn’t even understand — when he says, ‘Why are Matchroom still choosing that judge?’ Matchroom don’t choose the judge, you idiot, the commission do. I don’t even think he knows the rules or structure or how it works. Sometimes all this Jake Paul stuff is a laugh and it’s funny and it’s good for business. This is not, and it will be dealt with.”
