That\u2019s why self-belief is the most powerful thing in the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t think I can be a Mike Tyson?\u201d I don\u2019t think you go to the gym.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou versus going to the gym, you\u2019re still a fat-a\u2013\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Morgan fired back by boldly predicting Paul\u2019s career will crumble when he faces a true challenge. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think you\u2019re a great YouTuber, a great influencer,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI admire what you try to do boxing, but I do think when you actually come up against a proper, serious boxer, and I suspect that Julio Cesar Chavez Jr may be that person, it could all come crashing down.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Paul responded: \u201cI think the problem here, Piers, is that you think that your opinion matters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just taking your audience to sell pay-per-views. I don\u2019t give a f\u2014 about your show, dumb a\u2013. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a f\u2014ing business enterprise. Buy the pay-per-view on Saturday, June 28, me versus Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Thank you, tune in everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul then hung up the call, which was a move that prompted laughter from Morgan. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCheers, Jake, really enjoyed that,\u201d Morgan signed off. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd good luck to Julio.
