Following a heated interview confrontation last week on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” journalist Piers Morgan has issued a challenge to the Paul brothers. Morgan proposed a boxing match against Jake Paul and suggested Jake`s brother, Logan, fight MMA star Dillon Danis. The initial interview saw Jake Paul, known as `The Problem Child`, abruptly leave while wearing a sombrero.
Morgan reiterated his challenge on his YouTube show, stating he has been training in boxing for several months. Appearing alongside Dillon Danis, Morgan declared himself the “perfect target” for Jake Paul, citing his age (60) and lack of professional boxing experience.
Morgan proposed a `double header` event: a rematch between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis (“the real fight between two proper fighters”) and a pay-per-view clash between himself and Jake Paul, which he dubbed “a pay-per-view to end all pay-per-views.” Despite the age difference, Morgan claimed he “fancies his chances, I honestly would.” Danis humorously responded, “I do too, but don’t think you’re old enough for him.”
Morgan further pushed the challenge on social media, posting a direct call to Jake Paul: “You and me Jake Paul – any time, any place. I’m in your preferred opponent wheelhouse – 60yrs old and barely any boxing experience. But I make up for it with ferocity, resilience, fearlessness and a burning will-to-win. Let’s do this.”
Fan reactions to Morgan`s challenge online indicated enthusiasm for the unusual potential bout, with comments ranging from “Bring it” and “Go get him Piers” to “I would actually pay to see this” and humorous takes like “My money’s on tie” and “The Grumble in the Jungle.”
MMA fighter Dillon Danis, aged 31, also weighed in on the boxing skills of the Paul siblings, asserting that Logan is the superior boxer. Reflecting on his own loss to Logan, Danis remarked, “I think Logan is a better boxer than him, I`ve been through my s**t after losing to Logan.” He was critical of Jake, stating, “Jake sucks and Jake knows that.” Danis recalled knowing them before their boxing careers, calling Jake “such a wannabee” who is “trying to be something he is not.” He concluded, “He`s trash, I will fight him MMA, any rules that he wants.”
