Jake Paul has declared he`s had enough of the persistent falsehoods and accusations surrounding his boxing career.
Following Paul`s decision victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., broadcaster Piers Morgan publicly criticized the performance, calling it an “unwatchable farce” and claiming it was “staged.” Morgan used this critique partly to promote his own media platform.
This prompted Nakisa Bidarian, co-promoter for Paul`s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), to respond to Morgan. Bidarian stated that the company is exploring various options, including potential legal action against Morgan and anyone else who makes accusations of Paul`s fights being fixed.
Paul himself amplified the threat, posting, “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.”
Since entering the sport, Paul has frequently faced claims and suggestions that his bouts are rigged or predetermined.
These allegations were particularly intense after his knockout win against former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in their second meeting in December 2021, and again recently following his decision victory over former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson in a past November.
In his last eight professional fights, Paul has secured seven wins, including notable victories over former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, as well as past UFC contenders Nate Diaz and Mike Perry.
