Eddie Hearn Rejects Jake Paul’s ‘Wobbled AJ’ Claim as Post-Fight Scrutiny Grows

Prominent voices are challenging Paul’s account while pressure builds for officials to release the bout’s missing scorecards.

Overview

  • Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn laughed off Paul’s assertion that he ‘wobbled’ Anthony Joshua, calling the matchup a horrendous mismatch and doubting Paul won any rounds.
  • Jake Paul, speaking on his brother’s podcast, said Joshua’s power ‘surprised my jaw,’ detailed surgery with titanium plates, and called skipping altitude training his biggest mistake.
  • Florida’s athletic commission has not released the official scorecards, a delay Hearn labeled unusual as debate over how the rounds were judged continues.
  • Conor McGregor took a jab at Paul’s recovery by telling him to ‘enjoy your Christmas smoothies’ in a since-deleted post responding to Paul’s surgery update.
  • Former UFC champion Aljamain Sterling questioned why Joshua didn’t cut off the ring earlier, while Joshua assessed Paul’s offense as ‘alright’ and said his own performance ‘could have been better.’
