Deontay Wilder made claims recently about the fight being fixed. Moments after, Jake threatened to sue Wilder through legal means.

As per the leaked document, the match was supposed to be 8 rounds long. The first round, according to the leaked document, showcased both fighters having an equal stance within the ring.
