Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-professional boxer, abruptly walked out of a televised interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored following a contentious exchange with the host. The interview, conducted ahead of Paul’s upcoming fight against Julio César Chávez Jr., quickly escalated when Morgan questioned Paul’s credibility as a boxer.

Morgan suggested that Tommy Fury was the only “proper boxer” Paul had ever faced, and added that a prime Mike Tyson would have easily defeated him. Paul responded with a series of combative remarks, including a fat-shaming insult aimed at Morgan and a jab at world champion Canelo Álvarez.
Throughout the segment, Paul used the moment to pivot toward promoting his upcoming pay-per-view fight, calling it a “business enterprise.” He downplayed Morgan’s criticisms and framed the fight against Chávez Jr. as an important opportunity, noting that a win could earn him an official ranking. Mauricio Sulaiman, chairman of the World Boxing Council, recently confirmed that Paul would be eligible for consideration if he defeated Chávez Jr.
Visibly agitated, Paul cut the interview short, removed his microphone, and walked off the set. The moment was captured on camera and quickly circulated across social media platforms, sparking renewed debate about Paul’s legitimacy in the sport.
This latest incident adds to the ongoing debate about Jake Paul’s place in professional boxing and the evolving nature of the sport’s media landscape. Whether seen as a provocateur, entertainer, or a serious contender, Paul continues to stir conversation and controversy ahead of each bout.
