The fallout from Jake Paul’s brutal loss to Anthony Joshua has not slowed. Days after the sixth-round knockout in Miami, devastating emotions are still there inside the Paul camp. Paul’s mother has cut through the noise. Her words offered a rare glimpse into how the fight felt away. In a raw chat with her son, Logan Paul, in the latest episode of IMPAULSIVE podcast, Pam Stepnick revealed that she had respect for AJ but wanted to punch Eddie Hearn.
Joshua’s thunderous right hand ended the contest decisively at Kaseya Center and left Paul hospitalized with a broken jaw. As Paul shared images from his recovery and confirmed surgery, his family processed the moment very differently.
Jake Paul's mom’s reaction targets Eddie Hearn after the knockout
While legal teams focus on online claims, Pam Stepnick’s reaction centered on what she saw ringside. Appearing on Logan Paul’s podcast, she described the emotional toll of watching her son get hurt.
“What it’s always like, nerve-wracking. It’s always nerve-wracking,” she said. Then her frustration turned sharply toward promoter Eddie Hearn. “As a mum, my aggression comes out too. Like I want to get in that ring and punch… Eddie Hearn for instance.”
She added, “Because I don’t like his smug face. He literally thinks he’s better than everyone in the world,” she said. “Jake’s over there struggling and he’s sitting over there smiling like the cat who swallowed the cream.”
Despite that anger, Pam made a clear distinction when speaking about Joshua himself. “Even Anthony Joshua had some class,” she revealed. “He worked his way through the crowd and came up to me and said, ‘mum, just know it’s just boxing. It’s just the fight game.’”
Controversy looms over Jake Paul's loss
The aftermath of the Jake Paul loss has also triggered a fierce response from his promotional team. Claims that the fight was scripted or governed by secret agreements resurfaced after the knockout. Nakisa Bidarian, a key figure behind Most Valuable Promotions, made it clear that those accusations have crossed a line.
“No, I don't! Our lawyers are actively going after a number of people. One who claims to be a lawyer himself online,” Bidarian told Ariel Helwani. He addressed viral claims suggesting Anthony Joshua ignored an agreement not to knock Paul out.
“I don't remember the name or the handle, but it was something that had like 200,000 likes,” Bidarian said. “And basically, this post said there was an agreement for AJ not to knock out Jake, but AJ disregarded the agreement and decided to not get his payday, but knock out Jake Paul.”
Bidarian dismissed those narratives entirely. “There has never once in Jake Paul's career been any talk of that sort of anything to do with the fight being anything but a real fight,” he added, stressing that the Joshua bout followed standard professional rules with no hidden terms.
