Jake Paul is throwing legal jabs of his own as the outspoken influencer has launched a countersuit against Eddie Hearn and his promotion, Matchroom Boxing. This move comes in response to their defamation lawsuit against him. The YouTube sensation turned boxer’s countersuit seeks damages and legal fees, claiming the original lawsuit was meant to silence him.
Paul is not pulling any punches, as he accused Hearn of using the lawsuit as an intimidation tactic. He claimed that Hearn wanted to stifle free speech in the boxing industry.
But what is the story behind all this? The case revolves around two high-profile fights: Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano and Oleksandr Usyk vs. Anthony Joshua. Paul’s company represents Serrano, while Hearn backed Taylor. Jake Paul made a comment about a judge named Glenn Feldman. He suggested Matchroom Boxing was bribing Feldman to influence fight outcomes. Hearn didn’t take kindly to these accusations and sued Paul.
Now, Jake Paul is fighting back. He denied the allegations and went on the offensive. He is asking for the original lawsuit to be dismissed without prejudice. He’s also seeking reimbursement for his legal fees and damages. It’s worth noting that Judge Feldman joined Hearn’s lawsuit as a co-plaintiff. This has made the case against Paul a bit more solid.
