Jake Paul storms out of Piers Morgan interview
During the interview, Morgan questioned Paul's boxing abilities, suggesting Tommy Fury was his only'proper boxer' opponent and that Mike Tyson would have easily beaten him in his prime.
Paul responded aggressively, fat-shaming Morgan and insulting boxer Canelo Álvarez.
Paul responded by insulting Morgan and promoting his upcoming pay-per-view fight, stating it was a 'business enterprise.'
A victory against Chávez Jr. could potentially earn Paul a ranking, according to Mauricio Sulaiman, chairman of the World Boxing Council

Los Angeles Dodgers humiliated by the Houston Astros as they suffer heaviest home defeat 60 years
The Los Angeles Dodgers were humiliated on Friday night, suffering their worst-ever defeat at their own stadium. Shohei Ohtani and the defending World Series champions were obliterated 18-1 by the Houston Astros in the series opener of a matchup between two division leaders. Jose Altuve hit two home runs for the Astros while reaching base five times and driving in five runs. The stunned Dodgers were held to just five hits and Will Smith 's solo home run. It was not a night without controversy, either. Dodgers fans relentlessly booed Altuve throughout his at-bats, chanting 'Cheater! Cheater!' He's one of two players, along with pitcher Lance McCullers Jr., remaining from Houston's 2017 team that beat the Dodgers in the World Series. It later came out that the Astros were stealing signs with the help of video and relaying pitches to batters by banging on a trash can. The Astros took complete control with a 10-run sixth inning that included a grand slam by Victor Caratini and a three-run shot from Altuve, his second homer of the game. Houston's Christian Walker added another home run, giving him a six-game homer streak at Dodger Stadium dating back to last season when he was a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Walker has eight home runs against the Dodgers in that stretch. Houston finished the game with 11 extra-base hits en route to its ninth win in 11 games. Caratini had two doubles in addition to his slam, and Altuve and Jake Meyers added three hits apiece. Smith's home run was the only bright spot for the Dodgers, who lost for just the second time in 11 games. Los Angeles starter Ben Casparius gave up six runs on nine hits and no walks in three innings. He struck out three. Reliever Noah Davis was rocked for 10 runs in just over one innings. Isaac Paredes gave a sign of what was to come when he opened the game by hitting a first-pitch fastball into the left-field seats. Altuve doubled later in the inning and scored on a Walker single. Smith's home run in the second inning got the Dodgers within 2-1 before the Astros scored four times in the third on a pair of two-run home runs from Altuve and Walker. The offensive eruption in the sixth was the Astros' first 10-run inning since June 2022 against the Chicago White Sox. It was the first time the Dodgers gave up double digits in an inning since the St. Louis Cardinals scored 11 in a 1999 game. Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. gave up one run on four hits over six innings and cruised despite allowing four walks. He fanned four. McCullers stayed in the game after taking a 96.1 mph line drive from Ohtani off his left heel in the third. It was his second start since returning from a right foot sprain. Houston right-hander Jason Alexander pitched scoreless ball over the final three innings for the first save of his career, which spans 24 appearances.

Pure joy: the Australian pub choirmaster who flipped the script on America's Got Talent
Viewed from the outside, at least, far from united, the states of America appear irreconcilably divided. Which may explain why Astrid Jorgensen, a 35-year-old choir director from Brisbane who honed her skills at the pub, has just toured the States to sold out shows and seen her US reality TV appearance go viral. 'When I stand on the stage, I would like to prove to you that, in 90 minutes, we can agree on something,' Jorgensen says. 'And I think that that's a really important message anywhere but, for sure, I'm drawing the conclusion [that] in America … it feels like an antidote to whatever's happening in their own communities.' While it might take an hour and a half in her travelling Pub Choir shows – in which she coaches the audience to sing along to pop and rock classics in harmony – Jorgensen made her point in a matter of minutes when she flipped the script of America's Got Talent in her televised appearance last month. Instead of seeking their adulation for her own vocal prowess, the former high school music teacher got her audience to stand up and sing themselves. Yes, the cameras follow Jorgensen's dynamic conduction on stage. But, for the two-minute rendition of Toto's Africa, they mainly focus on the faces of the crowd. People of all ages, genders and colours, singing their little hearts out. Bemused, at first, before exuding the kind of pure and silly joy one only experiences belting out an 80s yacht rock anthem with a bunch of mates. 'If you bring some, like, cerebral, I dunno, indie thing, people are going to feel afraid and that they're going to do a bad job,' Jorgensen says of her song selection. 'I just want people to feel like they're winning – because it's just singing. It's not that big a deal. We've been overthinking it. Just give them a win and let them feel good.' The people must have done. Cajoled by judge Simon Cowell and by an adoring crowd, Jorgensen was voted through to the show's next round. Tens of millions of people have watched, shared and commented on the clip online. Jorgensen is Zooming in from her bedroom in Brisbane, trying to keep an angry chihuahua called Penny quiet. Penny is never angry with Jorgensen – only with those who seek to steal Jorgensen away from her dog. Penny is frequently angry. Jorgensen's not long back from a hectic tour of the US. Yesterday, the ABC's Australian Story team was filming hers. Pub Choir will tour Singapore, Tokyo, the UK and Ireland in August. Jorgensen is launching her memoir, Average At Best, in September. She will tour Australia and News Zealand in October and November. Her computer pings with Slack messages from her media team. Unsure how to mute the notifications, Jorgensen takes a moment to message her handlers and kindly asks them to shush. The quiet brings oxygen back into the conversation. Jorgensen takes a similar approach to her Pub Choir shows. 'I try to play into, and really appeal to, an analogue experience,' she says. 'I tell people to put their phones away. And that is really hard for a lot of people.' But choir, she says, is a unique act of communion in which the audience is transformed into artists. It is a sensation she experienced growing up Catholic, something that almost convinced Jorgensen to become a nun – until she realised that the 'beautiful, hopeful, optimistic, spiritual feeling' that its services gave her came not from the word of God, but from the music of the church. This is an experience Jorgensen wants for her audience, but she wants them to decide for themselves how they feel about it, with their own brain, ears and eyes – not through a screen. Even after the show she asks that they keep phones in pockets. 'And I think that's really freeing for people,' Jorgensen says. 'It's really a lovely invitation for people to just experience, just to feel anything, to feel something at the show with others and to look around, to look eyes up, look at the board, look at each other, hold someone's hand. 'I feel like it's such a nice, rare opportunity to agree with other people just in such a low-key way.' Jorgensen describes singing together as a 'beautiful fast track to community' – something that, ironically, she alone is not part of at her own shows, standing as she does on stage. So after the final show of her US tour, at a nightclub in Honolulu, Jorgensen invited everyone in the audience to come and say hello. 'People were relaying to me that this felt like the opposite of the way they'd been feeling for … years even. And that it felt important for them to remind that humanity and, like, connecting on a level outside of politics is possible,' she says. 'That's a special thing to be able to facilitate.'
