Jake Paul stormed out of an interview with Piers Morgan after he claimed that he could beat Mike Tyson at his peak.
Paul will take on former boxing world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on Saturday.
Ahead of the match, he sat down for an interview with Morgan.
He appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored on YouTube to promote his fight against Chavez. Paul donned a sombrero as he talked up his skills in the ring.
The 28-year-old defeated Tyson after the legendary boxer decided to don the gloves following his retirement. The gap between the two boxers in 30 years, and therefore nobody took the fight seriously.
Morgan reminded Paul of Tyson’s age and that he lost against Tommy Fury.
Paul said: “If Mike Tyson wants to fight you, of course you’re going to say ‘yes’.
“He walked away with tens of millions of dollars to support his family for the rest of their lives, and we’ve made the biggest fight in history. So, 128 million people would disagree with you, that it wasn’t something amazing.”
Morgan came up with sharp riposte: “The problem is the only proper boxer you fought was Tommy Fury, and he beat you. He’s not even the best in his family.”
Paul got angry and replied: “I mean, you can sit there and make up s**t, but you actually don’t know your facts. I fought multiple boxers with professional records, and including Mike Tyson himself, who I think is going to be a harder fight than Chavez.”
