Eddie Hearn's defamation lawsuit against Jake Paul over bribery allegations will continue; seeks $100M.

A defamation lawsuit by boxing promoter Eddie Hearn against YouTuber Jake Paul will proceed after a judge denied Paul's motion to dismiss. Hearn claims Paul falsely accused him of bribing judge Glenn Feldman in two fights. The lawsuit seeks over $100 million in damages. A pre-trial conference is set for October 16, 2024. The case complicates Paul's upcoming match with Mike Tyson, which has faced scheduling changes.
