Jake Paul threatens to sue 'pig' Piers Morgan over 'lies'... just days after furiously storming off his TV show
Jake Paul has ordered his team to 'vigorously go after' Piers Morgan after the TV host branded the YouTuber-turned-boxer's win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. 'staged bulls***'. Paul secured a comfortable points victory over Chavez Jr., the son and namesake of a boxing great, in Anaheim on Saturday night. Boos rang out at Honda Center as Paul extended his professional boxing record to 12-1. It was his first fight since beating 58-year-old Mike Tyson in a hugely controversial bout. TV host Morgan called Paul's latest win an 'unwatchable farce' and suggested the fight was rigged. He also accused the YouTuber of 'killing boxing'. A few days before the fight, Paul had appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored. But he lashed out at the anchor, branding him a 'fat a**' before dramatically ending the interview. 'I had a better fight with Jake Paul on Thursday than the unwatchable farce that took place tonight,' Morgan wrote on X. Paul cut short a fiery interview with Piers Morgan after a foul-mouth tirade about the host 'The guy's lining his pockets with buckets of $$$$ - but he's killing boxing with this boring staged bulls*** against older fighters way past their prime.' But that prompted a furious response from Paul, who vowed to make 'pigs' such as Morgan pay for their 'lies'. 'After years of letting it slide as just 'haters being haters', I have asked my team to vigorously go after anyone who makes up lies about my boxing career. Expect to get served you pigs,' he wrote. Paul's comments came after his business partner, Nakisa Bidarian, called out Morgan for his 'baseless and irresponsible' post and said they would explore legal action. 'This claim is baseless and irresponsible,' Bidarian wrote on social media. 'Last night's fight vs. Chavez Jr. was a fully sanctioned 10-round cruiserweight bout, officiated by the California State Athletic Commission with official judges. 'No staging / rigging —just hard work and a legit win. To say otherwise not only undermines the integrity of the sport, but is defamatory and causes reputational damage to MVP, Jake Paul, and the Commission.

Chris Eubank Jnr vs Conor Benn rematch is CONFIRMED - as bitter rivals get set to renew rivalry after controversial first fight
The rematch between Chris Eubank Jnr and Conor Benn has now been confirmed. In the original bout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April, Eubank Jnr won via unanimous decision. The pair will face each other again on September 2, with the venue yet to be decided. Their fathers Chris Snr and Nigel Benn clashed twice in high-profile fights in the 1990s. As reported by The Independent, it is possible that the rematch between Eubank Jnr and Benn could be held at Tottenham's stadium again. However, there is also a possibility that it could be staged at Wembley Stadium. Last month Eubank Jnr discussed his reunion with his estranged father on the night of his fight against Benn. Speaking on the Diary of a CEO podcast, Eubank Jnr explained: 'On the subject of my father, regardless of what he said about me and about the fight, he was there when it mattered the most. 'And that means everything. I didn't know he was going to come. He called me. He texts me the day before the fight, the night before the fight. He said 'call me when you see this.' 'So, I saw the text and I thought you know what? We are less than a day away.... this is the night before the biggest fight of my life. 'A couple of hours go by, maybe nine, ten o'clock, I'm like 'you know what, I've been through so much s*** these last two months, what more could possibly be thrown at me?' At the end of the day, he's my old man. He's text me, I'm going to hear him out. 'So, I call him. I was about to go to sleep and I thought 'I'll call him.' As soon as he picked the phone up, there was a tone in his voice that I hadn't heard for years. It was a tone of happiness, likeness, joy, 'hey, how you doing son? What's going on? How're you feeling?' 'I said 'how am I feeling? When have you worried about how I'm feeling? I'm good dad, everything is cool. Just getting ready to go to sleep. Got a big day tomorrow.' He said 'yeah, I know you've got a big day tomorrow and I want to be there for you.''
