A New York judge denied Jake Paul’s motion to dismiss a defamation suit filed by Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing, per records obtained by ESPN.
Hearn sued Paul in September 2022 after he was accused of bribing Glen Feldman to score fights in favor of Katie Taylor (vs. MVP-promoted Amanda Serrano) and Anthony Joshua (in the Oleksandr Usyk rematch).
A hearing is set for Oct. 16 to move forward with the lawsuit.
