Jake Paul had enough of Piers Morgan and his questioning of Paul’s resume during a television interview on Thursday.
Paul, who is set face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on Saturday night in a scheduled 10-round main event from the Honda Center in Anaheim, was answering questions on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” to promote the fight.
But when Morgan continued to call into question the boxing resume of Paul, the YouTuber-turned-professional fighter had enough.
“YouTube this, YouTube that, Disney that,” Paul said (thanks to the Daily Mail for the quotes). “This (expletive) is not a joke. I’m knocking out the best of the best. You vs. going to the gym; you’re still a fat (expletive).”
From that point on, Paul stormed out, leaving the set mid-interview. Paul would return, informing Morgan that he was only doing the show “to sell pay-per-views.”
The 28-year-old from Cleveland, Ohio started his boxing career off with six consecutive wins. During that stretch, he topped former UFC champions Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley, along with former MMA champion and standout wrestler Ben Askren.
In 2023, Paul suffered a split decision loss to Tommy Fury, the brother of ex-boxing heavyweight titleholder Tyson Fury. He has since won his last five, including a November 2024 victory over Mike Tyson on Netflix.
