Jake Paul and his team proceed to fireside back at their ‘haters’ but they are actually ramping up on their actions.
This past Saturday, Jake Paul returned to the boxing ring for the primary time since his controversial win over Mike Tyson last November, when he took on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in Anaheim, California.
‘The Problem Child’ continued to divide the fanbase after picking up a dominant unanimous decision win over the previous WBC middleweight champion, getting booed by the fans in the method.
Along with his win, the 28-year-old earned himself a spot in the highest 15 of the cruiserweight rankings and even faced off with two-title holder, Zurdo Ramirez, potentially establishing for his first world title fight.
Piers Morgan continues to accuse Jake Paul of ‘killing boxing’
Despite once more scoring a dominant victory, the boxing world continues to stay divided regarding Paul’s involvement in the game.
Paul has been ripped into for ‘scamming the complete world’ by boxing champion Vergil Ortiz Jr, as he continues to receive criticism for choosing the opponents he faces.
Ahead of his fight against Chavez Jr, Paul took part in a chat show with controversial British host, Piers Morgan. The 2 ended up stepping into a particularly heated clash after Morgan claimed Paul’s profession would come crumbling down, and Paul subsequently stormed out of the interview.
Immediately after his win over Chavez Jr, Morgan took to X and said: “BREAKING: I had a greater fight with Jake Paul on Thursday than the unwatchable farce that took place tonight. The guy’s lining his pockets with buckets of $$$ – but he’s killing boxing with this boring staged bulls— against older fighters well past their prime.”
Jake Paul threatens vigorous motion against Piers Morgan
Nevertheless, as a substitute of just batting away Morgan’s claims, Paul and his team have fired back and have threatened to ‘vigorously go after’ him and any others that proceed to make ‘irresponsible’ claims about Paul’s boxing profession.
“After years of just letting it slide as just ‘haters being haters’, I even have asked my team to vigorously go after anyone who makes up lies about my boxing profession. Expect to get served you pigs,” Paul responded.
This isn’t the primary time ‘The Problem Child’ and his team have had to come back out with an announcement shutting down ‘baseless’ claims, as following his fight against Tyson they released an official statement responding to ‘fictitious claims’.
Nevertheless, their response to Morgan has seemingly only given him more ammunition as he has now claimed that he must be Paul’s next opponent within the ring.
“I’ve really rattled him. Perhaps I must be your next opponent, Jake Paul – at the least I’d placed on a correct fight,” Morgan claimed on X.
