WHY DID ANTHONY JOSHUA APOLOGISE? THE PRIVATE MOMENT WITH JAKE PAUL’S MOTHER REVEALED
After Jake Paul’s jaw-breaking loss, Pam Stepnick praises Anthony Joshua’s class while threatening to punch promoter Eddie Hearn.
After Jake Paul's loss last weekend, his mom, Pam, said she'd like to punch Anthony Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn.
Paul managed to hang in there for the early part of the fight in Florida against Joshua, who used to be a heavyweight champ.
But Joshua eventually won with a knockout, leaving Jake with a broken jaw.
Pam Stepnick, the mother of Jake and Logan Paul (the YouTubers), praised Joshua for how he acted after the fight.
She said Joshua made his way through the crowd to apologize to her for how the fight ended.
But Pam wasn't happy with Joshua's promoter, Hearn, who she thought looked smug after the fight.
Jake Paul's mom said Anthony Joshua apologized after beating her son last weekend.
Pam Stepnick had good things to say about Joshua but called out his promoter, Eddie Hearn.
She said Hearn, on the right, looked smug and that she wanted to punch him.
"I want to get in the ring and punch Eddie Hearn, because I don't like his smug face," she said on the Impaulsive podcast.
He thinks he's better than everyone.
Jake's struggling over there, and he's sitting there smiling like he's gotten away with something.
Did he even get in the ring?
When asked if she thought Hearn was happy with what happened to Jake, she kept criticizing Hearn.
Of course, that's sickening to me. "I don't like it," Pam said.
Even Anthony Joshua had some class and apologized.
He came through the crowd and said, 'Mum, it's just boxing. It's just the fight game.'
Paul reportedly broke his jaw in the fight against Joshua last week.
Logan Paul admitted that it was the fight game and that his brother might have bitten off more than he could chew.
This isn't the first time Jake Paul's mom has spoken out about her son's fights.
She once said she wanted to kill Mike Tyson after he slapped her son before their fight last year.
Paul reportedly has a broken jaw on the right side, as well as a fracture to the body of the mandible.
Because the fracture goes through the roots of Paul's teeth, he'll probably need dental implants. This will take about three months after the fractures heal.
Paul might also need crowns fitted to the implants, which usually takes another six to seven months. So, it could be at least nine months before he gets back to 90% of his jaw strength.
Paul and Joshua reportedly shared £140m from the fight last weekend.
TYSON FURY BLASTS ANTHONY JOSHUA AFTER DANIEL DUBOIS STOPS FABIO WARDLEY IN MANCHESTER
Tyson Fury has labelled Anthony Joshua "chinny" after Daniel Dubois secured the WBO heavyweight title against a resilient Fabio Wardley.

Tyson Fury wasted no time after Daniel Dubois stopped Fabio Wardley this past weekend, using the moment to take a shot at Anthony Joshua.
Dubois picked up his second heavyweight title Saturday night in Manchester, grabbing the WBO belt from Wardley in a wild, bloodied battle that’s already being called a fight of the year candidate.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing for Dubois, though. He hit the canvas twice in the first three rounds but bounced back hard, battering Wardley late and leaving his face a mess as the final bell sounded.
Wardley never actually went down during the fight, despite looking wobbly near the end. Credit to him for sheer toughness, but Dubois still beat him decisively. This was Dubois’ first victory since his massive upset over Anthony Joshua earlier in 2024, when he floored AJ four times in one night.
On Sunday, Fury chimed in about Dubois’ latest win. With his own fight against Joshua rumoured for later this year on Netflix, Fury saw an opening to stir the pot.
“Just been thinking about Dubois’ crazy fight last night,” Fury said. Dubois fought [Jarrell] Miller, stopped him, but never put him down. He fought. [Filip] Hrgovic stopped him but never put him down. Fought Wardley last night and stopped him, but didn’t put him down. He hit Usyk with bombs but didn’t drop him. But against Anthony Joshua? Drops him five times.”
Fury added, “I’m not saying Joshua’s got no chin, but facts are facts. Take it however you want. Nobody else went down, not Miller, not Hrgovic, not Usyk, not Wardley. But Joshua hits the deck five times? Chinny, get up, slink!”
Fury is coming off a comeback win over Arslanbek Makhmudov and has already signed on to fight Joshua this year. Joshua will warm up first against Albanian heavyweight Kristian Pregna in Saudi Arabia on July 25 before facing Fury.
Promoter Frank Warren says Fury vs. AJ will probably land in October, though Fury might want another tune-up, which could push things back a bit.
As for Dubois, he’s got options. There’s talk of a rematch with Wardley, a chance to settle the score with Usyk in a trilogy, or a domestic showdown with Moses Itauma. Dubois’ dad, Stan, told talkSPORT he’d rather see his son fight another British heavyweight next, not Usyk.
HOW DANIEL DUBOIS SURVIVED TWO KNOCKDOWNS TO STOP A BLOODY FABIO WARDLEY
"I had to dig deep." Read Daniel Dubois' full reaction to his stunning comeback victory against Fabio Wardley in Manchester.
The punch that changed everything wasn't thrown by either of the fighters.
Fabio Wardley came out blazing in his title defence, dropping Daniel Dubois just 10 seconds in. He did it again in the third round, making it look like his big night. But then, something strange happened. As Dubois got up after the fourth round, his trainer, Don Charles, slapped him hard on both cheeks.
That’s when Dubois woke up. “I had to make him realise what he needed to do,” Charles said afterwards. It’s not exactly the kind of thing you see at team-building seminars, but it worked. Dubois turned on, and suddenly Wardley’s reign started to unravel.
Wardley had picked Dubois for the first fight since collecting the WBO belt that Oleksandr Usyk dropped. Honestly, it looked like a smart pick: he dropped Dubois twice and set the tone. But after that slap, Dubois started seeing Wardley’s moves coming; those wild lunges became easier to dodge.
He landed his stiff jab and followed up with savage right hands. Wardley’s jaw somehow took the hits, but his nose was pouring blood, and his right eye was almost swollen shut. He kept pushing forward, showing crazy heart, while Dubois just kept piling on. The fight turned into a brutal spectacle, the kind you can’t look away from.
Wardley got checked twice by doctors but kept fighting. Honestly, it could've stopped before the second-to-last round, when referee Howard Foster finally stepped in. Dubois got his second world title; Wardley, battered and worn, just managed a thumbs up to his mum.
Dubois summed it up later: “I had to dig really deep. When you’re a warrior, you go to dark places. I was nervous at first, all over the place, and had to fight my own battles. That slap woke me up. My dad and everyone were in my corner; I couldn’t let them down.
“Fabio came to fight; he was tough. We were exhausted; it was a real war. I had to use all my skills to win. Great fight, great battle, and I’m No. 1 again.” Sure, Usyk might argue about that, but Dubois proved something; he got up off the canvas and won.
People have called Dubois a quitter since the Joe Joyce fight six years ago. Wardley himself thought Dubois would fold again in Manchester, and for three rounds it looked like he was right until reality snapped Dubois awake.
