JESTER FILES OFFICIAL LAWSUIT AGAINST UBA — SEEKING $5 MILLION IN DAMAGES

After months of speculation and rising tension, Jester has officially filed a civil lawsuit against the Unified Boxing Association, charging the league with unfair labor practices, exploitation, and orchestrating a large-scale rug pull tied to UBA Coin.

The 52-page complaint, filed with the Virtual Athletic Court of Arbitration, accuses UBA of using its fighters’ likenesses and the league’s brand momentum to artificially inflate UBA Coin prices. Once fans and fighters bought in, insiders allegedly withdrew their holdings, causing the token to crash and wiping out millions in virtual currency value.

r’s legal team says it has transaction records, Discord communications, and timestamped statements proving a coordinated “pump-and-pull” scheme. The lawsuit seeks full restitution of all scammed UBA Coin VC, in addition to back pay for fighters allegedly underpaid or never compensated at all.

In total, Jester is seeking $5 million in damages, citing emotional distress, loss of earnings, and reputational harm caused by the alleged rug pull and subsequent cover-up.

“They built wealth off our names and walked away when it crashed,” Jester said outside the courthouse. “Now they’re going to pay it back — every coin of it.”

The filing also revisits the disturbing case of Avoid, the fan-favorite fighter whose disappearance stunned the community earlier this year.Weeks after his last public appearance, a hacked broadcast feed during a UBA event interrupted the stream with grainy footage of Avoid restrained in a dimly lit room, surrounded by UBA-branded equipment. The clip vanished within minutes, but not before sparking the viral movement now known as #FreeAvoid.

Jester’s legal team claims the footage was genuine and that the fighter is being held within a private UBA-controlled virtual space as leverage against dissenting talent. The suit demands his immediate and unconditional release, calling the incident “a human rights violation inside a digital domain.”

In response, UBA representatives maintain their innocence, insisting the league is actually operating at a financial loss and denying any involvement in Avoid’s disappearance. “The UBA continues to prioritize fighter safety and fair treatment,” the organization said in a brief statement. “Any claims suggesting otherwise are entirely baseless.”

Despite the denials, the Virtual Court has issued a summons, legally compelling the UBA to appear before a tribunal later this month. If the case proceeds, subpoenas could require the release of internal financial records, fighter payment data, and the full digital audit of UBA Coin transactions.

Across the VR boxing world, the implications are massive. Fighters have begun voicing support for Jester, fans are demanding answers, and sponsors are waiting to see whether the league can survive the fallout.

For now, the UBA’s future rests in the hands of the court — and perhaps, if talks of a final settlement prove true, the ring itself.
