Piers Morgan has provided clarity on his recent social media comments criticizing Jake Paul’s boxing career, referring to it as “boring staged matches.” There is speculation that Paul may face Anthony Joshua in an upcoming bout.
Paul, 28, gained initial fame on YouTube and has achieved 12 victories since transitioning to boxing in 2020. He has defeated renowned figures like Mike Tyson and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in different weight divisions and also bested former UFC star Nate Diaz in the boxing ring.
While some remain unconvinced by Paul’s boxing performances, Morgan recently altered his stance amid talks of a potential showdown between Paul and Joshua. Morgan highlighted his concern about Paul’s previous opponents being past their prime, emphasizing that a fight with Joshua, who is an active fighter, would be a more credible challenge.
Morgan clarified his previous statement about Paul’s fights, noting that they mainly involved older opponents and did not reflect his potential against current top-ranked boxers. He expressed openness for Paul to appear on his show and engage in a discussion.
Although there have been doubts about a fight between Paul and Joshua, Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s longtime promoter, acknowledged the possibility. Hearn indicated that discussions with Paul’s team have shown genuine interest in the fight, giving it a 50:50 chance of happening.
