Jake Paul threatens to sue Piers Morgan after seeing what he posted about him on social media
Paul has asked his team to “vigorously go after anyone who makes up lies about my boxing career”.
Jake Paul has threatened legal action against Piers Morgan after the TV presenter and journalist claimed that his fights are “staged”.
Shortly after Paul recorded a unanimous decision win over former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, the YouTuber was accused by Morgan of damaging the reputation of boxing with “staged” fights.
Earlier this week, Paul made an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, where he stormed off the show after Morgan pointed out that he hadn’t faced “real competition” in his career that features wins over Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren and Mike Tyson.
Morgan claimed fellow influencer Tommy Fury was the “only proper boxer” Paul had faced before adding that two-time undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez could potentially kill him.
The TV personalty also said Chavez Jr could bring his career “crashing down” but Paul proved the doubters wrong on Saturday night with a unanimous 99-91, 97-93 and 98-92 victory over the former WBC middleweight champion.

Taking to X after the fight, Morgan made some bold claims.
He wrote: “BREAKING: I had a better fight with Jake Paul on Thursday than the unwatchable farce that took place tonight. The guy’s lining his pockets with buckets of $$$$ – but he’s killing boxing with this boring staged bullsh*t against older fighters way past their prime.”
Nakisa Bidarian, the CEO of Most Valuable Promotions, soon responded to Morgan by saying his claims were “baseless” and “irresponsible”.
He added: “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.”
Bidarian added: “Enough is enough. We will be exploring all options, including legal action, to hold accountable those spreading such deliberate and harmful lies.”

Paul has since responded to Bidarian’s post with a telling statement.
Although he didn’t specifically refer to Morgan in the post, the YouTuber-turned-boxer reposted Bidarian’s tweet before claiming that anyone who was “making up lies” about his boxing career would be “served” legally.
Taking to X, Paul wrote: “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.”
Jake Paul detailed conversations with Anthony Joshua after Chavez Jr fight
Paul, who has won seven fights by knockout since turning pro, has turned his attentions to former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
In fact, if what he is saying is correct, then a bout between Paul and Joshua appears to be in the works for 2026.
“We’ve been DM-ing back and forth. He wants to make it happen. He called me up and it’s looking very likely for next year,” Paul said on Saturday night. “I’m definitely not a heavyweight, but I’m still gonna take the challenge.”
He added: “You look at Deontay Wilder; he was beating these guys weighing 215 pounds, [Joshua is] like 6ft 6in or something, but anything is possible. Anthony Joshua is an insane fight, but I want that challenge.”
