Jake Paul’s mom isn’t hiding her disdain for a certain promoter.
During an appearance on “Impaulsive,” Pam Stepnick called out Eddie Hearn when dissecting the fallout of her son’s loss to Anthony Joshua on Friday.
“I wanted to get into that ring and punch Eddie Hearn,” Stepnick said on son Logan Paul’s podcast, according to Sports Illustrated. “I don’t like his smug face. He literally thinks he’s better than everybody in the world.
Warning: Explicit language:
“… Jake’s over there struggling, and he’s sitting over there smiling like the cat who swallowed the canary. Guess what? Did he f–king get in the ring? It’s sick. Even Anthony Joshua had some class and apologized to me.”
Paul, 28, was knocked out in the sixth round by Joshua, 36, in their highly hyped clash last week in Miami.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer sustained a double broken jaw in the aftermath.
Shortly after being named the victor, Joshua, a two-time heavyweight champion, had a moment with Stepnick.
“You’re the mom?” Joshua said, later adding in his apology, “It’s just a fight.”
The British athlete also lauded his American opponent in post-match remarks.
“As we saw tonight, Jake has spirit,” Joshua said. “He has some heart and I take my hat off to him.”
Paul took to Instagram following his surgery, writing in a post Saturday: “Great experience. i love this sport. time to rest recover and return to cruiserweight.”
Hearn, the chairman of Matchroom Sport Ltd., also reflected on the Miami bout in a social media post, where he wished Paul a swift recovery.
“Reflecting on a wild week in Miami. @anthonyjoshua star power rockets in the US and globally and is back on top as the biggest star in the sport! Unbelievable dedication and desire, the work ethic is inspiring. @jakepaul fair play. The world is full of negativity and opinions of those that couldn’t walk in certain shoes. You are a mad man for doing that and hope you heal up well,” he wrote Monday on Instagram.
“Thank you @Netflix @mostvaluablepromotions for the opportunity and @daznboxing for allowing the fight to happen – @nakisabidarian and team for being straight up. On we go to a massive 2026!”
