Jake Paul brutally insisted Piers Morgan’s toughest opponent is a treadmill in a scathing put-down.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer makes his return to the ring on Saturday against former WBC middleweight king Julio Cesar Chavez Junior, who boasts a formidable record of 54-6-1.
‘El Gallo’ is readying for the 13th fight of his professional boxing careerGettyIt is Paul’s first fight since he out-pointed a 58-year-old Mike Tyson last November.
The fight between the two in Texas became the most-streamed sporting event in history, but it was widely panned due to Tyson’s age and lack of competitiveness.
Despite the criticism from several corners, Paul has constantly trumpeted his victory against ‘Iron Mike’ as one that deserves to be celebrated.
And he did so once again on the latest episode of Piers Morgan: Uncensored after the host insisted Paul wouldn’t have lasted more than ten seconds against Tyson in his prime.
“You don’t actually know that,” Paul said.
“You can’t sit there and say that… I think anything is possible. That’s why self-belief is the most powerful thing in the world.”
Paul, who sported a sombrero during the interview, then decided he would take a whack at Morgan’s weight in a brutal swipe.
“You don’t think I can be a Mike Tyson?” Paul said.
“I don’t think you go to the gym.”
Paul added: “You versus going to the gym, you’re still a fat-a**.”

But when it came to boxing, Morgan believed Paul’s dreams in the squared circle would ‘all come crashing down’ when he comes up against a ‘proper, serious boxer’, who he believes Chavez Jr to be.
It prompted a fiery retort from Paul.
“I think the problem here Piers, is that you think that your opinion matters,” Paul said.
When asked by Morgan why he was on the show if he thought the host’s opinion did not matter, Paul clapped back once more.
“Oh, I’m just taking your audience to sell pay-per-views,” Paul said.
“I don’t give a f*** about your show, dumb a**. This is a f****** business enterprise.
“Buy the pay-per-view on Saturday, June 28, me versus Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Thank you, tune in everybody.”
Paul then hung up, a move which prompted laughter from Morgan.
“Cheers Jake, really enjoyed that,” Morgan said.
“And good luck to Julio. Knock him out for all of us, will you?”
Unfortunately for Morgan, Paul will have no plans to be iced by the Mexican given what’s at stake.

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman even admitted as much, stating he believed Paul ‘has done enough’ amid plenty of ‘backlash’ throughout his professional career.
“If he beats Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, I think that puts him in a different position,” Sulaiman said.
