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.

🎥 Vinicius and Bellingham combine for inch-perfect opener at CWC 😍
🎥 Vinicius and Bellingham combine for inch-perfect opener at CWC 😍 The FIFA Club World Cup group stage concludes on Thursday, with Real Madrid one of the teams still chasing a spot in the knockouts. Some two goals in the first 45 minutes against Salzburg, however, have them virtually there. Advertisement The opener arrived when Jude Bellingham sent a brilliant through ball from inside his own half to the feet of Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian took it in stride before cutting back and finding the bottom right corner. And then in the blink of an eye, it was Bellingham and Vini once again involved. The Englishman picked up the ball in the middle of the park and kick-started a second attacking wave. As the move found the first goalscorer, he instead recognized a lone Fede Valverde in the box and teed up the Uruguayan for 2-0. Rocking and rolling in pre-season. 📸 Francois Nel - 2025 Getty Images

She told the Daily Mail that she stuck to the Mediterranean diet, which has kept her a size four for decades. "It works so well and it tastes good," Seymour told the outlet, adding that the diet, "includes a lot of delicious food like tomatoes, olives and fish." Seymour explained that she doesn't find the diet restrictive. "People ask me if I have a cheat day with my diet and I respond that I am never on a diet. … If you think you are on a diet, you will lose track, you will cheat. "But if you find healthy foods you really love that make you feel good, you never feel shorted," she said. Seymour's fitness includes keeping "moving" by doing Pilates and weight-lifting.

OUTRAGEOUS Recap: (S01E03) Episode 3
Full disclosure: I didn't jump into Outrageous completely blind. I learned about Unity Mitford (Shannon Watson) many years ago, thanks to a Fringe Festival play called Hitler's Women , a title that attracted as much outrage as it did audiences. While the play didn't delve into her sisters, it painted a pretty clear picture of Unity as a woman who put the 'fan' in fanatical. Outrageous Episode 3 highlights this particular character trait, bookending the episode with scenes of her preparation and the fruition of her efforts. RELATED: Catch up with our recap of Outrageous Episode 2 Not to be outdone, the elder Mitford sisters spend Episode 3 carving out their own paths of politics, travel, and authorship. Sisterly sentiment clashes with ideology. And finally, young Jessica (Zoe Brough) finds the spark to light her red flame. Nothing is too outrageous for this lot. Not even Deborah's (Orla Hill) honest and shockingly predictable goals in life. Photographer: Olly Courtney- Courtesy of BritBox Outrageous, Season 1 Episode 3 March 1934. Unity runs calisthenic drills on the lawns of The Fortress to marching band music played on a phonograph. Jessica watches in wonder from the veranda, while Nancy (Bessie Carter) and Peter Jamie Blackley) find it amusing from their vantage inside the house. Nancy's voiceover describes how Unity would develop short-lived obsessions as a child. When Unity ends her workout with a Sieg Heil salute, the smile fades from Nancy's face. At Nancy and Peter's flat, Diana (Joanna Vanderham) visits, bringing her sons. Over tea, she tells Nancy that she's pregnant with Mosley's (Joshua Sasse) baby and needs to get an abortion. She asks Nancy to accompany her for moral support, and Nancy agrees, pointing out that Diana's making all the sacrifices in her relationship with Mosley. The Campaign Begins Unity begins pestering her parents to send her to a German finishing school in Munich. She argues that the Germans are friendly and more similar to English people. She wants to learn the German language and the culture. In addition, the pound sterling goes a long way in Germany. Muv (Anna Chamberlain) and Farve (James Purefoy) discuss it, with Muv taking up Unity's cause, and the decision is made to consider it. RELATED: Read our My Lady Jane recaps Muv also slips in the fact that she's invited Diana and her sons to Easter with the family. She points out that Farve misses her as much as the rest of the family does, and it's time the rift was healed. Farve acquiesces. She inquires about the state of the finances. He insists everything is being handled. She's unconvinced. In the clinic, Nancy waits with Diana before the abortion. Diana asks Nancy to take care of her sons if anything were to go wrong in the operating room. Nancy promises to, but reassures her that everything's going to be fine. The doctor and nurse roll Diana away to ominous music. April 1934, Easter Nancy and Peter leave The Fortress with Diana's sons.

As the congregation sings hymns, Unity carves a swastika into a pew. Diana, still recovering from the abortion, has to sit. When the collection plate goes around, Jessica steals a few coins. RELATED: My Lady Jane : Rob Brydon and Anna Chancellor Spill Their Parenting Secrets Upon returning home, Jessica deposits her loot in her 'Running Away Fund' jar. Down in the sitting room, Peter reads the headlines from the newspaper. Jessica arrives as he regales the group with a story about Winston Churchill's 15-year-old nephew, Esmond Romilly, who ran away from his boarding school to join communists in London. Jessica is fascinated. Esmond is a second cousin. The discussion irritates Farve, who throws the paper into the fire. Left alone when the family goes in for the luncheon, Jessica pulls the paper out to save the clipping with Esmond's picture. Sisterly Talks, Part 1 Nancy and Pamela (Isobel Jesper Jones) take a walk. Nancy tells Pamela about the book she's writing. Titled Wigs on the Green , she intends to write a satire about the fascist movement in England, inspired by seeing Unity give the fascist salute to a woman in the village shop. Pamela cautions her that Unity and Diana won't find it funny. Nancy tells her that the publishers paid her an advance, which she and Peter have already spent to pay their debts. Peter still hasn't found a job. Stopping at a large outbuilding, Pamela announces, 'Here she is! Allow me to introduce the new love of my life!' and opens the double doors to reveal a new roadster automobile. Having bought it with her earnings from running the farm, she plans to drive it alone across Europe in the summer. Nancy's impressed by her courage. The Writer's Dilemma At home, Nancy discusses the possibility of her sisters being bothered by Wigs on the Green with Peter. He dismisses Unity as abnormal, bordering on insane. He argues that she's targeting the movement, not her sisters, so they should understand. Struck by inspiration, he suggests they attend one of Mosley's rallies for research purposes. RELATED: Filmmaker Charley Feldman Is Truly Outrageous As Jessica falls deeper into her obsession with Esmond, Unity comes in and announces that she's convinced Muv and Farve to send her to Munich. Jessica's aghast, but impressed that Unity got her way. Unity's ecstatic to be going to the same city as where Hitler (Paul Giddings) lives. Munich, Germany Muv accompanies Unity to the school in Munich and helps her get settled in. She reminds Unity that if she's ever unhappy, she can call home and they'll bring her home immediately.

As Diana helps prepare Nancy to attend Mosley's rally, Nancy tells her about Wigs on the Green , hoping to smooth any future discontent with the satirical take on fascism. She promises to let Diana read the manuscript before she submits it, giving her full rein to do the final edit. Diana appreciates the offer, but feels that Nancy will be converted to the cause by Mosley's speech. She can't attend herself, but makes Nancy promise to telephone her afterwards to tell her all about it. In the parlor, Peter, dressed in a black shirt to match Nancy's, pops a bottle of champagne to toast Mosley with Diana.

Nancy can't wait to get out of the black shirt she's wearing. They are on the same page about how dangerous Mosley's mission is. When the phone rings, Nancy can't answer it, afraid of speaking to Diana about the rally. Peter solves this by picking up the handset and hanging up immediately. They argue over finances and Peter's fruitless search for work. When Nancy questions his commitment to finding employment, he becomes mean and petty. After accusing her of being a suspicious 'little wife,' he grabs his coat and storms out. Sisterly Talks, Part 2 Deborah brings a parcel of books to Jessica. Jessica unwraps the first, Out of Bounds by Giles and Esmond Romilly. When she tells Deborah that it's about how to change the status quo, Deborah asks why it needs to change. Deborah appreciates how lucky their family is to live in The Fortress and the lifestyle their status affords them. Jessica tries to explain that she wants to solve the disparity between themselves and those who have nothing. When she asks Deborah what she wants to do with her life, Deborah replies that she expects to fall in love with someone rich and handsome. Jessica finds this goal pathetic. Deborah is not bothered.

At lunch at The Fortress, Tom extols Hitler's successes in Germany, while Jessica argues the anti-fascist points. Tom and Muv refuse to believe the rumors of the persecution of marginalized groups. Jessica pulls Nancy into the discussion, throwing her under the bus twice – first by mentioning her attendance at Mosley's rally, then by spilling the tea about Wigs on the Green . December 1934 Nancy tells Joss (Will Attenborough) about sending a heavily edited version of the book to Diana for her feedback. Joss calls it a toothless tiger. Nancy doesn't disagree. He admits that he didn't think Mosley and fascism would ever gain footing in England, but now it feels very real and possible. When Nancy questions whether she should pull the manuscript, Joss respectfully points out that her novel won't make a real difference. He feels that Diana should understand that Nancy needs to earn the money that has already been paid. RELATED: TV Review: The Serpent Queen Season 2 At their lovenest, Mosley is irate with the manuscript. He turns it into an attack on Diana, painting Nancy as a jealous and spiteful sister. Diana recognizes Nancy's financial straits, but Mosley insists that she demand Nancy dump the book. He argues that if Nancy is a true sister, she'll be loyal to Diana and any cause Diana supports. Meeting at a lounge, Diana argues that Nancy's book makes fun of everything Mosley's spent years building. She calls it hurtful, and Nancy is deeply remorseful, offering to cut out any offensive passages. Diana demands that she not publish at all. Nancy says that's not possible, financially speaking. She says Diana's being a bit oversensitive. Diana points out that Nancy doesn't like Mosley, having heard it from the rest of the family, so the satire isn't meaningless. She accuses Nancy of not speaking the truth to her face. Nancy obliges. She admits she doesn't like Mosley or his politics. Diana takes that personally and states that Mosley is the only hope for the future. She stands up and tells Nancy that her faith in Mosley is unshakeable, but she doesn't have that faith in Nancy's loyalty anymore. She leaves Nancy speechless. What's Coming Next At the Osteria Bavaria, Unity drops and smashes a glass pitcher, distracted by Hitler in the back room.
