Jake Paul furiously quits Piers Morgan interview after fat-shaming host
Jake Paul let his emotions get the best of him during Thursday's interview with Piers Morgan, ultimately storming off the virtual call in anger.
The YouTuber-turned-professional boxer, 28, spoke with the British host on Piers Morgan Uncensored ahead of his Saturday bout against Julio César Chávez Jr.
In a teaser clip of the interview shared on YouTube, Morgan, 60, appeared to goad Paul by suggesting that the only 'proper boxer' he's ever fought was Tommy Fury — 'and he beat you.'
'I think the problem here, Piers, is that you think your opinion matters,' Paul hit back.
Piers further argued that had Paul fought Mike Tyson in his prime, he wouldn't have 'lasted 10 seconds.'
'This is not a joke. I'm knocking out the best of the best,' the influencer argued, before fat-shaming Piers, saying: 'You versus going to the gym. You're still a fatass.'
'I mean, [Mexican boxer] Canelo Álvarez says that he would potentially kill you,' Piers added.
Paul responded angrily, calling Álvarez, 34, a '5'8 little peon.' 'People don't realize I'm a real killer. I really f***ing do this s***,' he said.
Elsewhere in the full-length interview, Piers admitted that he thought Paul was 'a great influencer and great YouTuber,' but questioned Paul's abilities in the ring.

Paul didn't take the criticism well, telling off Piers.
'Oh, I'm just taking your audience to sell pay-per-views. I don't give a f*** about your show, dumbass,' he said in exasperation. 'This is a f***ing business enterprise. Buy the pay per view on Saturday, June 28, me versus Julio César Chávez Jr. Thank you, tune in everybody!'
Once Paul hung up on the call, Piers said: 'Cheers Jake, really enjoyed that, and good luck to Julio – knock him out for all of us, will you?'
Paul's fight with Chávez Jr. marks his first of the year. The match comes seven months after he defeated Tyson, 58, by a unanimous decision.
Should he beat Chávez Jr., he could very well earn a ranking, Mauricio Sulaiman, chairman of the World Boxing Council, told Action Network this week.
'We do have a rankings committee, but I believe he has done enough. He has received all the backlash for several years; if he beats Julio César Chávez Jr., I think that puts him in a different position,' Sulaiman said.

Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt's Reunion at ‘F1' Premiere Was ‘Choreographed,' Says ‘Source'
and 's recent reunion after over two decades made for a viral moment among their fans. The two former co-stars walked the red carpet at the 'F1' premiere in London earlier this week, marking their first public reunion since a benefit concert in 2001. Although the duo appeared to put their friendship on full display, their meetup was reportedly nothing more than a power play. A source exclusively told Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop that their reunion was 'choreographed' and had nothing to do with 'nostalgia.' On Monday, June 23, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt broke the internet with their reunion at the 'F1' premiere in London after 24 years. The actor duo, who starred together in 1994's 'Interview With the Vampire,' appeared to be in good spirits. They posed for the cameras together, shared hugs, and seemed to engage in fun conversations. However, the interaction was allegedly just surface-level. According to Rob Shuter's exclusive report, their reunion was 'choreographed' for a purpose. A source told the outlet that their actions had more to do with the 'optics' than reviving old times. Their joint appearance comes at a time when the duo has many professional dynamics in common. According to the report, Pitt is anxious about the reception of his upcoming movie, 'F1.' Meanwhile, Cruise recently signed a deal with Warner Bros, a company that is co-distributing 'F1' with Apple. Moreover, the two A-listers are also connected to the film's producers, Jerry Bruckheimer and Joseph Kosinski. Speaking about the metrics behind the reunion, a studio executive told #ShuterScoop, 'Brad's nervous. Tom needs a win. This was corporate synergy in action.' Pitt and Cruise previously ran into each other at the 'America: A Tribute To Heroes' benefit concert in 2001. Although allegedly strategic, their reunion still made headlines. When asked what their next project would be together, Pitt quipped that he wouldn't hang himself off airplanes, referencing Cruise's preference for doing his own stunts. The 'F1' star was open to taking on a project that had them stay on the ground.

Fabrizio Romano's latest update OPENS door to mega Liverpool transfer
Fabrizio Romano's latest update could have an impact on Liverpool. The club's goalkeeping department has never been in better shape. Even with the departure of Caoimhin Kelleher, Liverpool have one of the best goalkeeping trio in the world right now. Advertisement Alisson Becker is the best goalkeeper in the world without a shadow of a doubt. He proved that throughout the course of last season, most notably with his heroics against Paris Saint Germain. Behind him Liverpool are now going to add a brilliant goalkeeper in Giorgi Mamardashvili, who has excelled for Valencia over the last few seasons and proved his quality for Georgia at Euro 2024, with some sublime performances to secure qualification into the knock-out round for his team. Mamardashvili will now be looking to compete with Alisson for the no.1 spot, meanwhile behind them the Reds have recruited Armin Pecsi, who is one of the highest rated young goalkeepers in Europe as the club's third choice goalkeeper. Pecsi has played over 50 games for Puskas Akademia in Hungary and is only 20-years-old. He comes as a Golden Boy nominee, and is currently ranked second among goalkeepers for the prestigious award. Advertisement Liverpool have always wanted to create this kind of environment. With Vitezslav Jaros going on loan to Ajax, there is the potential for the Reds to have another really exciting goalkeeper in a few years time as well. On top of that, there are high hopes about Kornel Misciur, who has produced some fantastic performances at academy level over the course of the last season. But that doesn't mean there is no room for investment. Last summer Liverpool were interested in Anthony Patterson of Sunderland, who led the English club back to the Premier League during the 2024/25 campaign. A move for Patterson never materialised last year but Liverpool must still keep him on their radar considering he has been brilliant in the Championship. And now there may be a door opening for the club to sign the talented young goalkeeper.

Edoardo Bove could return to the pitch
Edoardo Bove gets to see the light at the end of the tunnel. According to Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sport, the midfielder could, in fact, return to the pitch. In the past few days, the player has undergone some tests, all of which have been negative. It is still early to make plans, but this is certainly a small step towards a return to sports activity. Advertisement If his return were to really happen it would more likely take place abroad rather than Italy due to the country's strict health protocol. Bove's last match dates back to December 1st against Inter. He is currently still a Fiorentina player, but from July 1st, once his loan has ended, he will return to Roma while waiting to understand what his future will be.
