Andrew Tate has slammed Logan Paul for being "a parrot" whilst praising his brother Jake 's move into boxing.
Tate, 35, has been linked to fights against both of the Paul brothers amid his unprecedented internet fame in recent months. The former four-time kickboxing world champion retired from fighting after being plagued with multiple eye injuries, but has insisted he would be medically fit to make a comeback if he received an offer that made sense.
Logan thinks the decision for Tate to be banned off of all social media platforms was correct, adding that the narrative he pushed had a negative impact on young people. Jake had an opposing view as he defended Tate's right to free speech by tweeting his 90-minute final message. Tate slammed Logan for his comments and took aim at his controversial 2018 'suicide forest' video which saw him dropped by a number of big sponsors.

"Logan Paul is bought and sold, he is not allowed to have individualistic thought, he is a talking piece for the matrix," Tate told Mirror Fighting. "He is given a piece of paper and is told what to think and he repeats it. He's a parrot, a clown who is afraid of being cancelled because he was cancelled once before and couldn't stop crying on TV. He's not allowed his own opinion, someone has told him what to say and he says it because he has no soul and no morals."
"Jake seems to be a person who is focused on his boxing career and is making his own money, he isn't scared of getting cancelled from his YouTube channel. He has a genuine career that he's taking seriously, Logan needs the algorithm to favour him and his little YouTube channel or he has nothing. Jake is telling the truth about what he believes, Logan obviously believes the same thing but because he's bought and sold, like a coward, he's not allowed to say it."
Tate met with Jake's manager Nakisa Bidarian last month, who is also the UFC's former Chief Financial Officer, but he refused to reveal what the discussions were about. 'Cobra' doesn't see any other potential opponents other than Jake or Logan for a comeback fight, with YouTube star KSI ruling out a fight against Tate because of their size disparity despite calling him out after his recent wins.
"There's a lot of different things to take into consideration," Tate added. "It's a matter of whether this is to make money, whether it's personal, principles in regard to a-side and b-sides. It's quite complicated, but I am a man who is open to fight. I'll be kicking the s*** out of somebody and I will absolutely win. All these YouTuber boxers look at me and go 'he's old, he smokes cigars all the time'. They underestimate me, that's why they're stupid enough to take the fight."
