Glenn Feldman joined the defamation lawsuit that Eddie Hearn threw at Jake Paul after the 25-year-old accused Matchroom Boxing of bribing the judge.

Hearn, chairman of Matchroom Sport, demanded more than $100 million in damages to Jake, while it is not known how much Feldman has demanded. Although that is more than 75 thousand jurisdictional requirements.

According to attorney Frank Salzano, quoted by ESPN, the two were seeking damage separately where a Feldman complaint was filed at the US District Court in South District of New York.

"The statement [Paul] has damaged Feldman's reputation in public, accused him of committing a crime, and/or questioned Feldman's feasibility to do his job in his trade and profession," wrote Salzano.

"Punishment and exemplary compensation are needed in this case to prevent [Paul] and others from carelessly and maliciously using a lie campaign to discredit Feldman and other boxing judges."

This case comes from Jake's interview with IFL TV last month where he accused Feldman of being bribed by Matchroom to support the fighters who are members of the promotion.

Feldman acted as judge in Amanda Serrano versus Katie Taylor's duel on April 30 and scored in Oleksandr Usyk versus Anthony Joshua's rematch on August 20.

Taylor won by separate decision, in which Feldman's decision gave him an advantage.

Usyk also won with a double decision, but Feldman was the only judge to score for Joshua's victory. Both Taylor and Joshua are Matchroom fighters.

"It's like a crime that repeats itself here," Jake told IFL TV. "Type this dirt, I'll call it here in boxing because it's nonsense. Obviously, this man [Feldman] was bribed by Matchroom Boxing."
