'He's a dumbass, and so it's going to be apparent on Saturday when he's the one that gets knocked out. I'm being so honest, man, this guy is easy work,' Paul told Morgan in an interview. 'He's a 5'8 little peon. If we were in the streets, I would grab that little ginger and smack him upside the head and make him forget who the fuck he was. People don't realize, I'm a real killer. I really fucking do this shit. 'YouTube, this YouTube, Disney that.' This shit is not a joke. I'm knocking out the best of the best, beating all of these people time in and time again. And it's about time, that you old heads and all these fucking boxers who think they know about the sport, put some respect on my name.'
Paul got a little heated at Morgan when the host claimed he wouldn't have been able to beat 58-year-old Tyson in his prime.

'You don't actually know that! You can't sit there and say that. I think anything is possible. That's why self-belief is the most powerful thing in the world. You don't think I can be a Mike Tyson? I don't think you go to the gym!' Paul said. 'Oh, I'm just taking your audience to sell pay per views. I don't give a fuck about your show, dumbass. This is a fucking business enterprise. Buy the pay per view on Saturday, June 28, me versus Julio César Chávez Jr. Thank you, tune in everybody!'
After Paul disconnected from the call, Morgan added, 'Cheers Jake, really enjoyed that, and good luck to Julio – knock him out for all of us will you?'

Princess Diana's 'Caring Dress' sold for $520K, her Lady Dior handbag for $325K. See what else people bought from the late royal's largest wardrobe auction.
Hopeful bidders and fans of Princess Diana were given the opportunity of a lifetime on Thursday morning: To own garments worn and beloved by the late royal herself. The auction, 'Princess Diana's Style & A Royal Collection,' took place in Beverly Hills, Calif., on June 26, and featured more than 200 items that showcased the princess's 'enduring influence as a fashion icon and humanitarian,' Julien's Auctions, the famed auctioneer company, said. Those who attended the live auction at the Verandah Ballroom in the Peninsula Beverly Hills were able to place first bids on items from the rare collection, though bidding online and over the phone with an auction house representative was also available. A portion of the proceeds from the auction will benefit the British charity Muscular Dystrophy UK, according to the auction house. Among Diana's auctioned items is her Belville Sassoon 'Caring Dress,' which sold for $520,000, her Lady Dior lambskin handbag, which sold for $325,000 and her beloved British Lung Foundation sweatshirt, which sold for $221,000. 'This collection is not only the most comprehensive offering of her wardrobe ever presented, but also a tribute to her elegance, grace, glamour, and enduring spirit. Each item is a window into a moment in history,' Martin Nolan, Julien's co-founder and executive director, said in a statement ahead of the auction. Here's a look at some of Diana's most coveted wardrobe staples, along with how much they were auctioned for. Scottish milliner John Boyd designed this custom hat, made of silk, ostrich feather plumes, feather stems and straw, for Diana's 1981 honeymoon send-off outfit. The headpiece, which she wore again in 1983, was dyed light pink to match her Belville Sassoon skirt suit. Diana wore this limited-edition ostrich feather fan to the Fanmakers' Banquet at Mason House in 1985. Inscribed on the three-plume fan's sterling silver handle is the Prince of Wales crest. Diana was famously photographed wearing this magenta nylon suit while skiing in Malbun, Liechtenstein, in 1985; Klosters, Switzerland, in 1986; and Lech, Austria, in 1992. The suit, with its dropped shoulders and funnel neckline, also features brass tone buttons and adjustable D-ring belts. Diana wore this coordinating yellow floral set to the Royal Ascot in 1987. Designed by Bruce Oldfield, the colorful coordinates feature a short-sleeve silk top with ruched sleeves and a pencil skirt in the same print. Diana was photographed wearing this wardrobe staple — a silk, floral-printed dress designed by Belville Sassoon — nine times between 1988 and 1992. The bright blue garment, with its puffed sleeves and inviting print, was dubbed the 'Caring Dress' because Diana often wore it during her visits with patients in hospitals. "It was colorful, approachable, likeable and huggable," Nolan told People. "When she would go to visit kids and people in the hospital, they gravitated toward the colors and felt they could hug her.' The winning bid belonged to Renae Plant, who runs a virtual Princess Diana museum. Immediately after learning she'd won the garment, Plant fell to the floor out of excitement. Another staple in Diana's closet was her three-piece Escada suit. The grey cashmere ensemble features a double-breasted blazer with bright blue pinstripes as well as a matching skirt and blue silk blouse. Diana was photographed wearing the ensemble on six separate occasions from 1988 to 1992. Diana stepped out in a pair of red-and-black leather heels designed by Rayne on Christmas Day at Sandringham in 1990. For the festive occasion, Diana paired the two-tone pumps with a black, white and red houndstooth skirt suit by Moschino Cheap and Chic, along with a Victor Edelstein blouse and Phillip Somersville brimmed hat. Diana was first photographed carrying the black Lady Dior handbag on her official visit to Argentina in 1995, and then later that same year during a visit to the Foundation for Conductive Education in Birmingham, England. Because of Diana's love of the silhouette, the box-shaped tote was later named Lady Dior in 1996, in her honor. The sleeveless black cocktail dress, with its delicate black beading on the bodice and subtly ruched skirt, was worn by Diana on a few occasions. The late princess wore the Catherine Walker garment at London Fashion Week in 1994 and again during her official visit to Hong Kong in 1995. Diana was photographed in a navy wool Catherine Walker coatdress while leaving the Carlyle Hotel in New York in 1995. The double-breasted garment features a black velvet collar and cuffs, and is adorned with gold anchor buttons. Featuring a long gold link handle and embossed Prada logo, the champagne-hued leather tote was worn by Diana on three separate occasions, in Moscow in 1995, and Pakistan and Chicago in 1996. No one did a slouchy sweatshirt like Princess Diana. The beloved royal had a knack for blending glamour and athleisure when it came to curating her everyday style. Included in her collection of sweatshirts was this British Lung Foundation crewneck, which she wore on several occasions. Here she's photographed wearing the sweater — with a blazer, light denim jeans, brown riding boots and a navy cap — at Guards Polo Club in 1988.

Ex NFL Wideout Solves Browns Quarterback Dilemma
Ex NFL Wideout Solves Browns Quarterback Dilemma originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Cleveland Browns are working with a crowded quarterback room this offseason. With Deshaun Watson shelved due to a second Achilles tear in three months back in January, general manager Andrew Berry signed a couple of veterans to fight for the starting role. Advertisement Berry also drafted two young players to make things interesting. The 40-year-old Joe Flacco is the most experienced in the room, followed by Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh's first-round pick in 2022. Berry selected Dillon Gabriel in the third round this season and Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round. They're all fighting for the starting job in Week 1. But former Green Bay Packers wide receiver James Jones has it all figured out, as he described on a recent episode of "The Facility." "Pickett is still extremely young," Jones said. "If he goes out here and plays well, that's a bonus for your football team, and then you have two young dudes behind them that you are developing. Joe Flacco going out there, I absolutely disagree with that because he's older. You're not going to win a lot. But with Kenny Pickett going out there, he's young. He was a first-rounder." Advertisement 'If it's not Kenny Pickett, the only other option is Shedeur because I believe he's the most-talented quarterback on that roster.". Flacco is clearly the favorite to start due to his experience both in the NFL and in Kevin Stefanski's offense when he subbed for five games back in 2023. But Jones thinks that's a terrible idea. Training camp and the preseason should be fun in Cleveland this season.
