Jake Paul is being sued by Eddie Hearn — one of the most powerful people in boxing — after The Problem Child claimed the promoter paid off a judge in two recent, high-profile bouts.
In a newly filed lawsuit, obtained by TMZ Sports, Hearn and his company, Matchroom Boxing, claim their reputation was damaged after 25-year-old Paul “made outrageously false and baseless allegations” during an interview on Sept. 20.
In the talk, Paul claimed Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing paid off judge Glenn Feldman in the August Oleksandr Usyk vs. Anthony Joshua fight. Paul claimed that same judge was also paid off by Matchroom in the April Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano fight.
Taylor won by split over Serrano, while Joshua lost to Usyk.

“Glenn Feldman appears in Saudi Arabia and scores Anthony Joshua to win the bout. Everyone who saw the fight said it wasn’t a split decision,” Paul said… before adding, “Clearly this guy is getting money from Matchroom Boxing. “
Hearn also included Paul’s interview as an exhibit in a lawsuit… filed by Frank Salzano.
Paul also admitted that it was a bold statement and an accusation I don’t believe, but it’s blatantly obvious. They’re not trying to hide it. “
Hearn, who is suing Paul for defamation, called the comments “outlandishly fals.” “
He’s asking for damages in excess of $75,000.
