Piers Morgan “ clarifies ”.

Talk-show Piers Morgan animator seemed to go back his feelings on what he said that Jake Paul’s “staged” fights after Paul and his team threatened a legal action.

“I posted a few weeks ago that Jake Paul’s boxing career had been” boring bulls —. “What I meant is that his fights were mainly against older and passers -by opponents, who can be lucrative for both parties, and can have entertainment value, but do not reveal how he accumulates against boxers currently classified and are therefore not a good overview of sport”, Morgan posted to X.

“I did not intend to suggest that the result was predetermined and certainly did not want to suggest something illegal. But if the reports are correct that Jake is now in negotiation to fight Anthony Joshua, it would obviously be a really credible fight against one of the best heavyweights in the world. Jake is welcome.”

Morgan shared the post of TMZ who said that he “retracts (Ed)” his initial feeling, but Morgan replied, “Clear, not retractions.” He also deleted the position.

This did not prevent Paul from laughing, however.

“OMG the first peasant that I am getting on my knees and apologizing – who am I continuing then to lie on my name?” Paul wrote in an article on his Instagram stories on Saturday.

Morgan wrote that he was not prosecuted.

“If someone says that my fights are staged, you will be continued and secondly, you are a jealous peasant who cannot even believe how good I am in this sport and you should go to church to repair your insecurity,” said Paul. “I pray for you because I have so much love humanity and it includes people who are against me – I really pray for you and I want the world to be in a better place. You are filled with a disease and I am here to help you cure it.”

Last month, Paul posted on social networks that he “asked my team to vigorously pursue anyone who invented lies on my boxing career”. He hired lawyer Alex Spiro, who once represented Elon Musk and Aaron Hernandez, earlier this month.

The co-founder of the MVP, Nakisa Bidarian, said on social networks that Morgan can “count on” Bidarian pursuing him after the animator of Talk-show said that the fights were “staged”.

“This is one thing to say:” You are not a good boxer. “This is another thing to say:” You fight older guys. “But when you say that the fights are staged, aka era, then you have brought us off, Bidarian told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. “You destroy the value for its brand, for the MVP brand and what we defend, which is the integrity of sport.

“You actually attack the California State Athletic Commission which supervised this event (Paul against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.). Then you say that we risk going to the federal prison for organizing events.

“Each Jake Paul fight was sanctioned by a sports commission,” added Bidarian. “Each Jake Paul fight has had sports betting available on this subject. Each Jake Paul fight has been with a great media partner. To make someone say that one of Jake’s fights is something other than fights sanctioned by professionals with clear rules, is ridiculous.”

Calls on rigged fighting increased strongly after Paul fought Mike Tyson. At the time, Bidarian told Fox News Digital that Everything was legitimate.
