Jake Paul rage-quits Piers Morgan interview after profanity-laced, insult-laden tantrum
Jake Paul wasn't in the mood to chat.
The Youtuber-turned-boxer sat down for a video interview with Piers Morgan on Thursday ahead of his fight with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and things got heated quickly.
The 'Uncensored With Piers Morgan' host targeted Paul for taking on Mike Tyson last year, who is 'nearly as old as me,' and cherry-picking his fights.
'The only proper boxer you've fought is Tommy Fury, and he beat you,' Morgan said.

The 28-year-old rebutted by saying he fought 'multiple boxers with professional records.'
Morgan added that against 'peak Tyson, you wouldn't have lasted 10 seconds.'
Things quickly devolved with Paul turning to name-calling.
'OK, and you versus the gym?' responded the YouTuber. 'You're still a fata–… You don't think I can beat Mike Tyson, I don't think you go to the gym.'

'I've been twice this week!' Morgan retorted, who added that he expected Paul to lose to a 'proper serious' boxer in Chavez.
'I think the problem here, Piers, is that you think your opinion matters,' Paul said. 'I'm just taking your audience to sell pay-per-views, I don't give a f–k about your show, dumbass, this is a f–king business enterprise.'

And with that, Paul rage-quit the interview, causing Morgan to laugh.
'Cheers, Jake. Really enjoyed that,' he said.
How many pay-per-views Paul managed to score for DAZN via the sitdown remains to be seen with the cruiserweight bout scheduled for Saturday night at the Honda Center.

He does view the 39-year-old Chavez as the most challenging fight of his still young career, though.
'I would say Chavez is most likely going to be the toughest opponent (I have faced yet), the most experienced, literally the most amount of fights out of all of my opponents,' Paul told DAZN Boxing.
He enters the fight with an 11-1 professional mark to Chavez's 54-6-1 (34 KOs) record.

Prince Harry makes surprise appearance in NYC — and pleads ‘compassion' as ‘world gets harder'
Prince Harry is sharing his best advice. The royal, 40, attended the 2025 NEXUS Global Summit on Friday, where he and Rachel Gerrol, the co-founder and CEO of the company, spoke to next-gen philanthropists and investors. In a chat called 'Building Tomorrow: A Conversation on Service, Impact & Collective Action with Prince Harry,' the Duke of Sussex detailed founding the Archewell Foundation with the Duchess of Sussex.

Evan Agostini/Invision/AP Prince Harry told the audience that 'as the world gets harder, as people's lives become harder, compassion can shrink.' However, Harry remains driven by his life of service. Advertisement 'The thing that gives me the most hope is the grassroots approach,' he expressed. 'Many of you here today are connected and involved with so many community solutions, because it's what energizes all of you, and that service part is really what energizes me as well.' 8 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle speak during the 2021 Global Citizen Live festival.

Advertisement The Invictus Games founder also urged the crowd to continue giving back and to use their platform for good.

Magazine. 'With Trooping the Colour and Father's Day falling on the same weekend,' the writer went on, 'it was bound to make him look back at the happy relationships he once had with his brother and dad, and I'm sure he'd love to be able to rebuild those.' Prince Harry and Markle were not invited to Trooping the Colour for the third year in a row earlier this month, as the rest of the royal family celebrated The King, 76. 8 Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their kids.

'Meghan is probably quite reluctant to come to the UK anyway because they'd have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to realize just how much criticism they've had for their betrayals and truth bombs,' the royal expert continued. 'But more importantly, there are real and genuine threats.' Larcombe elaborated: 'Without the official support and security, Harry and Meghan are left with two or three bodyguards who are pretty blind to what the potential threats are.'

Report: Chris Paul is 'determined to play' near Los Angeles
The Los Angeles Lakers need more than help at the center spot this summer in order to become legitimate championship contenders next season. They need some help at the wing and guard spots and better bench depth in order to become an elite team. They recognize that they need more speed and athleticism, which is one reason why they traded for the draft rights to 6-foot-8 forward Adou Thiero on Thursday. But it is possible they end up signing a player who recently turned 40 years of age. Chris Paul, the future Hall of Fame point guard who has been named to 12 All-Star teams, reportedly wants to play close to his home in Los Angeles as his career winds down, according to NBA insider Marc Stein. 'Chris Paul would be another [Dallas] Mavericks target at $5.7 million,' Stein wrote, 'but there is a growing belief that Paul… is determined to play closer to his home base in Los Angeles if he indeed comes back for a 21st season.' Paul averaged 8.8 points and 7.4 assists in 28.0 minutes a game this season with the San Antonio Spurs. He certainly isn't anywhere close to the player he was as recently as four years ago, but he's still a very capable playmaker and floor general, and he remains a dependable 3-point shooter. He is one of LeBron James' closest friends, and one always has to wonder if James' influence in L.A. could result in Paul becoming a Laker. But there are certainly risks with bringing in and relying on a player who has 20 years of wear and tear. His risk of injury is a lot higher, and his production could fall off a cliff at a moment's notice. Paul, of course, was once set to play for the Lakers in December 2011 when they agreed to a blockbuster trade with the then-New Orleans Hornets. But the NBA, which had assumed ownership of the Hornets, vetoed the trade, and he made his way to the Los Angeles Clippers instead. He recently said during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he wants to be closer to his children, who live in the Southland.
