The Oleksandr Usyk vs Anthony Joshua rematch was one of the most highly anticipated fights in the heavyweight division. However, this bout was marred by controversy, especially with regard to the scorecards. Jake Paul recently made a few rather strong accusations about the fight.

Paul was in an online interview with iFL TV. He was in a conversation about the Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano fight. This was when he accused judge Glen Feldman of not judging the fight properly.

Moreover, he further took into context the Usyk vs Joshua fight. Paul said, “This judge Glen Feldman shows up in Saudi. And scores Anthony Joshua to win the fight. When everyone watched the fight, it’s not a split decision. Usyk had a runaway victory, clearly won the fight. And, this judge Glen Feldman gives it to Anthony Joshua. It’s like a repeated crime here.”

In fact, he even went on to accuse Matchroom Boxing and CEO Eddie Hearn. Paul said, “This type of sh*t. I’m gonna call it out in boxing because it’s bullsh*t. And, clearly this guy is getting paid by Matchroom Boxing. And that is a bold statement and an accusation that I don’t take lightly. But it’s just blatantly obvious they’re not even trying to hide it.”

Paul even stated that Matchroom Boxing got the very same judge from the Taylor vs Serrano fight, to judge Usyk vs Joshua.

The Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk showdown

It should be mentioned that Anthony Joshua previously fought Oleksandr Usyk on September 25, 2021. The fight that took at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London saw him defend his WBA (Super), IBF, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles. However, he ended up losing his titles after Usyk won the bout by decision.

It was announced on June 19, 2022, that Joshua will try to reclaim his titles with a rematch against Usyk. Moreover, the duo would also be fighting for the vacant the Ring heavyweight title.
