Two of the biggest personalities on the planet clashed as Piers Morgan hosted Nick Kyrgios for an upcoming spot on his Uncensored TV show.
The controversial tennis star and controversial broadcaster have had a long-running feud dating back to 2016 when Morgan branded Kyrgios as soft after a loss to Andy Murray.
Morgan went further labelling Kyrgios a “petulant little brat” and a “sulk” before telling Kyrgios ”put your toys back in the pram and go home.
Never one to shy away from a stoush Kyrgios responded to Mrogan on twitter telling him to “eat a d***” a moment which the pair managed to laugh about in their interview.
“Sometimes you are a bit of a d**k,” Kyrgios said.
“I can be a douche on the tennis court … I think we’re very alike.”
Not one short on controversial moments Morgan referenced Kyrgios’ press conference at Wimbledon last year there the eventual runner-up ate sushi while fielding questions.
“How would you feel if while we’re talking right now I just start munching on sushi?” Morgan asked.
“If I was talking to Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic I’d be like yeah, no, 100 per cent. But Piers Morgan, it’s like, it’s a problem,” Kyrgios joked.
Morgan also labelled Kyrgios “a monumental a**hole,” after trying to get a women ejected from the Wimbledon final for doing “700 drinks.”
“Imagine hurling constant foul-mouthed abuse in a Wimbledon final at your own support team/family for YOUR bad shots?” he said.
However the pair seemed amicable for large portions of the interview which have been shared ahead of its full release with Kyrgios touching on dealing with racism and opening up about his mother being held a t gunpoint in Canberra in May this year.
“The Kyrgios family has definitely dealt with their fair share of racism in Australia”
“I feel like the bad guy in a movie when I walk on the court.”
