Jake Paul's Mum Launches Furious Attack on Eddie Hearn Days After Anthony Joshua Fight

Pam Stepnick, the mother of Jake and Logan Paul, has ripped into boxing promoter Eddie Hearn after seeing how he acted during Friday's fight between her son and Anthony Joshua.

As predicted, Joshua recorded a relatively straightforward victory over Paul in their heavyweight bout at Miami's Kaseya Center, putting him away in the sixth round following a heavy right hand at the 1:31 mark.

Paul, who has since undergone surgery on a broken jaw, was praised by the former heavyweight world champion.

"He's done really well tonight. I want to give him his props," said Joshua as he addressed Paul's performance in the ring. "It takes a real man to do that. Anyone who laces up these gloves, you give them respect."

Joshua also took the time to speak to Paul's mother, Pam Stepnick, after having his hand raised. AJ could be heard apologising to the 62-year-old former nurse after what happened in the ring.

"You’re the mum?" he said, adding: "It’s just a fight." Joshua later went on to compliment the YouTuber-turned-boxer. "He’s got heart," the Brit commented. "He’s a strong guy, man."

Just days after the fight and Paul has now appeared on his brother's podcast, IMPAULSIVE, alongside his mum as he spoke to Logan and co-host Mike Majlak about Friday night's wild series of events.

As well as chatting about Jake's mindset coming into the fight, Pam was asked what it was like for her to see Jake come up against Joshua.

"What it's always like," she began. "Nervewracking. My aggression comes out too. I want to get in that ring and punch Eddie Hearn for instance. I don't like his smug face. He literally thinks he's better than everybody in the world.

"Jake is over there, struggling, and he's sitting over there smiling like the cat who swallowed the canary. Guess what, did he f*****g get in the ring?"

Asked if she thought Hearn was happy to see what happened to Paul, Stepnick said: "Of course. And that's sickening to me. It's sick. I don't like it. Even Anthony Joshua had some class and came over and apologised to me essentially."

Stepnick added: "He worked his way through the crowd and came up to me and said, 'Mom, it's just boxing. It's just the fight game'."

Anthony Joshua almost 'had a go' at Eddie Hearn immediately after Jake Paul win

Speaking after the fight on Friday, Hearn claimed AJ almost "had a go" at him for rushing his work against Paul.

Asked if he was nervous at all watching from ringside, Hearn told Ariel Helwani: "No. I mean, I knew there was no way he could lose, but it was just the nerves were more like a hurry up, you know. We need to grab hold of him here and cut him off."

He added: "And he was moving so quickly around the ring. It's very difficult to cut a fighter off like that. So, AJ was really patient. Like, he almost had a go at me after... I got in the ring after. I was like, 'Well done, mate'. He said, 'Stop rushing me'. I'm like, 'I know but I just wanted it over with'."

Hearn continued: "And the more rounds it went, I felt like the more kind of detrimental it would be to him in the end because of the way it finished.

"That's what everybody's talking about. That's the virality of it is the double broken jaw and the huge right hand and Jake playing along after with all his, you know, his social stuff and no, I mean, never never worried, only worried about how long it would take and I thought it would be inside three rounds. I did.

"But Jake was smart. He was smart in there."
