4/3 6:38 PM PT -- The law firm representing Kerron Swift, The X-Law Group P.C., released a statement to TMZ Sports Friday afternoon … denying the claim from Wilder’s attorney that the filing of this suit had anything to do with his scheduled fight tomorrow.
“This firm made repeated attempts over several weeks to reach Mr. Wilder's legal counsel — including Mr. Patterson — before filing this action. Those efforts went unanswered. Filing was not our first choice. It was our last. The statute of limitations in this matter expires on April 20, 2025. After weeks of silence from the other side, despite repeated follow-ups, we had no legal alternative but to file in order to protect our client's rights."
“If the timing of this lawsuit is ‘suspicious,’ as Mr. Patterson claims, the explanation is simple: his own failure to respond forced our hand.”
They also noted that they “filed this action quietly and without a press release — the opposite of what we would have done if the intent were to generate publicity.”
“This case is not about boxing. It is not about public image or fight week. It is about the physical abuse of a child over a sustained period of time. Our client deserves to have that heard, and we intend to see that it is.”
