Jake Paul successfully coerced Pierce Morgan into retracting his negative remarks
Jake Paul Threatens Legal Action Against Piers Morgan Over Boxing Match Allegations
Jake Paul, the controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer, is actively pursuing legal action against British television personality Piers Morgan for defamation related to claims about the authenticity of his boxing matches.
Represented by attorney Alex Spiro, Paul is determined to protect his reputation and that of boxing from public allegations of rigging and dishonesty. Morgan, a vocal critic of Paul’s boxing career, has openly accused Paul of staging fights to favor himself.
In response to Morgan’s accusations, Paul has threatened legal action. Reports suggest that Morgan is among several critics whose statements are being challenged by Paul’s legal team. However, as of August 2025, no confirmed lawsuit filing specifically naming Piers Morgan has been publicly announced.
Paul’s lawyer, Spiro, has stated that Paul will hold accountable anyone who uses their public platform to spread lies damaging Paul and the sport. Multiple sources mention legal threats or ongoing preparations targeting critics, including Morgan, with Paul signaling readiness to escalate to subpoenas and lawsuits if defamatory statements continue.
Despite the threats, Morgan has stood firm in his commentary. In a recent interview, he suggested that if talks with Anthony Joshua are true, that would be a serious challenge against one of the best heavyweights. However, there's no new information about any potential discussions between Paul and Joshua.
It's important to note that the specific individual or context of the "lies" mentioned by Paul is not clear from the provided information. Additionally, the paragraph does not imply any predetermined outcomes or anything illegal in the context of the potential lawsuit.
Paul’s social media post suggests that more criticism or lies could lead to legal action. He has hinted at a potential lawsuit against an unspecified individual, stating that the individual has not publicly apologized or crawled on their knees. The individual's identity remains unknown.
In a recent interview, Morgan clarified that he meant Paul’s career is "dull staged nonsense" because of the opponents he chooses. He stated that Paul’s choice of opponents does not show how he’d fare against current top boxers, which hurts the sport.
Paul hired renowned lawyer Alex Spiro to handle potential defamation cases. However, as of now, no open-database information is available regarding any legal cases involving Paul. The saga between Paul and Morgan continues, with both parties showing no signs of backing down.
