British journalist Piers Morgan is doing major damage control after boxer Jake Paul threatened to sue over his comments claiming that Paul’s bouts in the ring were all “staged.”
“I posted a few weeks ago that Jake Paul’s boxing career has been ‘boring staged bulls–t.’ What I meant is that his fights have been predominantly against older, past-their-prime opponents, which may be lucrative for both sides, and may have entertainment value, but don’t reveal how he stacks up against currently ranked boxers and therefore are not a good look for the sport,” Morgan wrote on social media.

Morgan’s statement continues, ‘I did not intend to suggest that the outcome was predetermined and certainly didn’t mean to suggest anything illegal. But if reports are correct that Jake is now in negotiations to fight Anthony Joshua, that would obviously be a seriously credible bout against one of the best heavyweights in the world. Jake is welcome to come on Uncensored to discuss this, and verbally slug it out with me, anytime.”

Paul, a former YouTuber, has won all of his fights but has been plagued by reports that his opponents are paid to lose, a claim he vehemently denies.
He has reportedly retained celebrity attorney Alex Spiro to file any lawsuits against people who publicly state that his fights are orchestrated.
