Jake Paul and his team continue to fire back at their ‘haters’ but they are now ramping up on their actions.
This past Saturday, Jake Paul returned to the boxing ring for the first 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 former WBC middleweight champion, getting booed by the fans in the process.
With his win, the 28-year-old earned himself a spot in the top 15 of the cruiserweight rankings and even faced off with two-title holder, Zurdo Ramirez, potentially setting up for his first world title fight.
Piers Morgan continues to accuse Jake Paul of ‘killing boxing’
Despite once again scoring a dominant victory, the boxing world continues to remain divided regarding Paul’s involvement in the sport.
Paul has been ripped into for ‘scamming the entire world’ by boxing champion Vergil Ortiz Jr, as he continues to receive criticism for picking the opponents he faces.
Ahead of his fight against Chavez Jr, Paul took part in a talk show with controversial British host, Piers Morgan. The two ended up getting into an extremely heated clash after Morgan claimed Paul’s career 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 better 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 way past their prime.”
Jake Paul threatens vigorous action against Piers Morgan
However, instead 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 continue to make ‘irresponsible’ claims about Paul’s boxing career.
“After years of just letting it slide as just ‘haters being haters’, I have asked my team to vigorously go after anyone who makes up lies about my boxing career. Expect to get served you pigs,” Paul responded.
This isn’t the first time ‘The Problem Child’ and his team have had to come out with a statement shutting down ‘baseless’ claims, as following his fight against Tyson they released an official statement responding to ‘fictitious claims’.
However, their response to Morgan has seemingly only given him more ammunition as he has now claimed that he should be Paul’s next opponent in the ring.
“I’ve really rattled him. Perhaps I should be your next opponent, Jake Paul – at least I’d put on a proper fight,” Morgan claimed on X.
