Jake Paul and Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing have settled their legal differences.
Matchroom filed a lawsuit against Paul in 2022 after the American accused Hearn of paying off boxing judge Glenn Feldman following the results of the Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua rematch and Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano I.
Feldman came under fire for scoring the rematch in Joshua’s favour, while Paul was particularly unhappy about his 97-93 scorecard for Taylor for the inaugural encounter with Serrano.
“I still think Amanda Serrano won the fight,” Paul told iFL TV in a now deleted interview from September 2022.
“And 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.
“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.”
Matchroom took legal action days after the interview was posted.
The British promotional outfit had sought $100million (£92million) in damages in a suit later joined by Feldman.
Paul countersued in October 2024 after unsuccessfully getting the Matchroom suit dismissed by a New York judge a month prior.
But attorneys for both parties filed a joint dismissal after an undisclosed settlement was reached.
Per a filing on Monday with the United States District Court, Southern District of New York: “It is hereby stipulated and agreed, by the undersigned counsel of record for the parties herein, pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, that the above-captioned action is dismissed with prejudice and without costs or fees to either party.”
A separate filing on March 18 read: “Plaintiffs Matchroom Boxing Limited (“Matchroom”) and Edward John Hearn (“Hearn”), Plaintiff-Intervenor Glenn Feldman (“Feldman”) (collectively the “Plaintiffs”), and Defendant Jake Paul (“Paul”) (collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”) jointly submit this letter to notify the Court that the Parties have entered into a Settlement Agreement.
“Pursuant to the terms thereof, the Parties expect to file a Stipulation of Dismissal on or before March 31, 2025.”
Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions and Hearn‘s Matchroom are set to work together again for the Taylor vs Serrano trilogy on July 11 at Madison Square Garden.
The all-female card will be streamed live on Netflix.
