Jake Paul is set to follow in Cristiano Ronaldo's footsteps and have an explosive interview with Piers Morgan.
Ronaldo sat down with Piers and spilled the beans about the inner workings at Manchester United career while slamming the club's training ground conditions and taking digs at Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag, plus former team-mates. The car crash interview marked the end of Ronaldo's Old Trafford career, and he was swiftly booted out of the club, resulting in his transfer to Al Nassr.
However, the disastrous outcome of Ronaldo's interview hasn't deterred Jake from sitting down with the fiery journalist. The YouTuber turned boxer will face Piers on his show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, on Thursday night ahead of his heavily anticipated clash with Tommy Fury on Sunday.

The interview will be shown on Talk TV at 8pm, and the channel is available on Sky and Sky Glass, or on Virgin Media, Freeview and Freesat. It can also be streamed on Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Samsung TV Plus, YouTube, the Talk.TV website and TalkTV iOS and Android apps.
The interview with Piers is set to be a thrilling one judging by their previous sit-downs with others. Jake let a journalist feel his wrath with a brutal dig while they bickered over his ensuing clash with Tommy.

Jake ruthlessly told the reporter, "I don't know who the f*** you are," as they clashed on air. And Piers has held his own in hostile exchanges on the show with firebrands such as Kanye West and Andrew Tate.
The conversation will be the perfect warm-up for Jake as he gears up to face 'real' boxer Tommy. Jake goes into the fight with eight wins under his belt and feels confident that Tommy, who "comes from a storied fighting family", will be his next scalp to brag about.
The fight will be held in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, in the same venue Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr locked horns. However, those who won't be able to make the trip can catch the fight live on BT Sport Box Office for £19.95, and it will also be available to listen to for free on talkSPORT.
