EDDIE HEARN slammed Jake Paul’s ‘idiotic’ allegation that Matchroom “paid money” to a judge scoring Anthony Joshua’s fight.
American Glenn Feldman was one of three officials for AJ’s rematch loss over Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia in August.

Jake Paul accused Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom promotion of bribery
Feldman scored the bout 115-113 in favour of Joshua despite the other two having Usyk winning, with the Ukrainian ultimately triumphing with a split-decision victory.
The same judge also had Katie Taylor surprisingly beating Paul-promoted champion Amanda Serrano 97-93 in their April undisputed title bout.
As a result, the YouTuber-turned boxer accused Hearn’s Matchroom stable of bribery, something the promoter vehemently denies.
He said: “What he said in terms of his allegations of corruption with Glen Feldman is totally unacceptable.
“We all have a laugh with Jake and he’s an average fighter but I’m telling you now, what he said is unacceptable and it will be dealt with because we take this sport, our values as a family seriously and we love the sport of boxing.
“So, for him to come out with idiotic comments without even thinking of what he said is extremely harmful to me and very disrespectful to us as a business and as a family.”
It comes after Paul told iFL TV: “Everyone who watched the fight [knows] 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 s***, I’m going to call it out here in boxing because it’s bulls.
“Clearly, this guy is getting paid money by Matchroom Boxing.”
Hearn worked with Paul to promote the women’s super-fight between Taylor, 36, and Serrano, 33, at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
And the pair enjoyed a series of back-and-forth verbal spars in the lead up to the the historic title bout.
But Hearn said Paul’s allegations of corruption was one step too far and warned action will be taken.
He added: “Jake’s comments will be dealt with appropriately.
“I’m not prepared, as I would be on many occasions, to take what he is saying with a pinch of salt on this occasion because it’s bang out of order and totally disrespectful to the sport of boxing and to me and us.
“I take it extremely personally because they’re questioning our credentials, they are questioning our integrity and I won’t have it.
“So, he’s going to have to take the brunt of that. Maybe he doesn’t care, but I do.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven kinds of punches: Left Hook, Right Hook, Uppercut, Cross, Straight, Overhand and Underhand. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require greater strength than others. An example of this is an uppercut, which requires tremendous force. However, a straight punch is much more powerful and faster than other punches.
There are also many combinations. These are combinations of punches that work together to achieve a specific goal. An entire combination could have several parts. For example, a combination of a left and right hook will result in damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers should use the legs to protect themselves against kicks. If he gets kicked, he raises one leg and turns away from his attacker. To avoid being kicked in the side, he bends down if the attacker attacks from the front. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. An elbow strike may be delivered directly or in an indirect manner. Directly refers to hitting your opponent with the forearm, while indirect means you hit him using another part of your arms.
Hands
Boxers use their hands to block incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. They then touch the attackers fist.
Knees
When receiving a blow to the stomach, abdomen or chest, a boxer should bend his knees to absorb the impact. For defense purposes, knee strikes are common.
Feet
Boxers should respond to being attacked by their opponent by standing back and delivering counter-attacks. This will help him gain distance from his opponent. A boxer must also maintain his balance when responding to an opponent’s counter-attack.
Stances
Boxing effectively requires a boxer to have a good stance. His stance will determine how he defends. It determines where he will face his opponent and how he will position his body. Boxers can take many different stances. Here are some of the more popular ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Move your body
A boxer must change his position, speed and rhythm in order to win the fight. This means changing your speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
When a boxer throws a punch, he rotates in order to increase the reach of his arm. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.
Combinations
The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A combination that works well starts with strong punches and ends with weak ones is a winning combination.
Spares
Sparring, a boxing practice session, is designed to improve your boxing skills. Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. The purpose of sparring is, in short, to learn how fight and not get hurt.
Learning to box takes dedication and patience. To become a better fighter, you have to train hard and continue to work.
