Jake Paul and his representatives are going after Piers Morgan and other harsh critics of his boxing career.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jake Paul<\/a> is weeks removed from his unanimous decision victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.<\/a> to extend his win streak inside the ring. Paul passed what was marketed as the toughest test of his career by stifling and frustrating the former world champion.<\/p>\n

In the days after the Chavez fight, Paul has threatened to take serious action<\/a> against talk show host Piers Morgan and others who have accused him of staging and rigging his fights. Throughout his polarizing fighting career, Paul has been the target of skepticism and criticism over whether or not his bouts are fair and sincere.<\/p>\n

Morgan seems unbothered by Paul\u2019s recent threats, stating that he \u2018fancies his chances\u2019<\/a> in a 2v2 boxing match alongside Dillon Danis<\/a> against Jake and Logan Paul<\/a>. But Paul\u2019s team assures that the star\u2019s threats are legitimate and will produce significant legal results.<\/p>\n

\"JakePhoto by Harry How\/Getty ImagesJake Paul\u2019s team doubles down on pursuing defamation suit against Piers Morgan <\/p>\n

In a recent interview on The Ariel Helwani Show<\/a>, Paul\u2019s manager Nakisa Bidarian doubled down on his client\u2019s fiery statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you definitively state that Jake is putting on staged or rigged fights, that\u2019s just defamation, and you\u2019re causing substantial damage to his business, to MVP\u2019s business, and something that\u2019s 100 percent not true,\u201d Bidarian said in defense of Paul. \u201cIt\u2019s a federal crime to stage a fight, so that\u2019s going to get a lot more aggressive in going after these individuals who make these statements.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the world of social media, these false statements get carried in a way that people will start to believe the narrative. And that was the genesis of the issues with Dana White, because he was the one saying Jake\u2019s fights are rigged and that he was using steroids\u2026people just can\u2019t believe what Jake is doing, and we\u2019re in the process [of pursuing legal action]. 100 percent,\u201d Bidarian continued. \u201cEnough is enough, enough time has passed that Jake has showed what he can do in the ring. And people can criticize, that\u2019s ok, but don\u2019t make false accusations\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThe damage is, we\u2019re in business with DAZN, Netflix, Celsius, and that\u2019s the damage that you\u2019re causing because you\u2019re forcing us to have conversations with our partners that are just unjustifiable\u2026our representation is looking at multiple individuals to go after.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rift between Morgan and Paul began when Paul stormed out of a recent interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored<\/a> over questions regarding the ethicality of his Mike Tyson fight.<\/p>\n

As of this writing, Morgan hasn\u2019t provided a response to Bidarian or Paul\u2019s recent remarks. When pressed about additional defamation targets, Bidarian didn\u2019t reveal other names who could come under fire from their team.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Jake Paul and former rival agree to $1 million bet on Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano trilogy<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Paul is in New York City to promote the upcoming women\u2019s boxing trilogy between Katie Taylor<\/a> and Amanda Serrano<\/a>. Paul agreed to a $1 million bet<\/a> with Tyson on the fight.<\/p>\n

Paul defeated Tyson by unanimous decision in their boxing clash last year. He came under fire for fighting a 58-year-old Tyson instead of competing against younger contenders.<\/p>\n

Paul is 12-1 in his professional boxing career with seven wins by knockout. He\u2019s won six consecutive fights since a loss to Tommy Fury<\/a> in 2023.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jake Paul and his representatives are going after Piers Morgan and other harsh critics of his boxing career.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":246684,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,4778,17819,19846,5121,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-246683","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-dana-white","10":"tag-jake-paul","11":"tag-julio-cesar-chavez-jr","12":"tag-mike-tyson","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114814927858604378","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246683","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246683"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246683\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
