Controversial former kickboxing world champion Andrew Tate has again taken aim at YouTube boxer Logan Paul after a series of jokes the social media star made.
Tate and Paul have a long-standing rivalry that could one day lead to a fight, either in the boxing ring or the MMA cage. And despite Logan's younger sibling Jake spending time with Tate and his brother Tristan, it seems that the relationship between he and the elder Paul is going to get worse before it gets better.
Paul argued in favour of the blanket ban against Tate on social media earlier this year, with the kickboxer mocking him for succumbing to corporate pressures. And now that the former fighter has all but returned in different forms, it seems that the YouTuber isn't backing down from taking shots at his rival.
Paul was speaking with co-hosts George Janko and Mike Majlak on his podcast, Impaulsive, when he joked that Tate and popular Twitch streamer Adin Ross were "f***ing" during the streamer's trip to Dubai. Paul did not give any evidence to support his claim but he doubled down on the idea, repeating it multiple times, before tearing into Majlak for suggesting that they were "harsh" on the kickboxer.
"I told Adin before he went out there, 'you tell that f***ing Tate that I think our approach was a little bit too harsh, bro'," Majlak said, before Paul jumped in and rebuked him, adding: "Shut the f*** up, I'm not backing down for s***, that guy's a p****."
When Janko attempted to come in with a joke about liking Tate, Paul jokingly quipped: "Of course you [like Tate], you hate women, you hate gays and you're a racist. Of course you like Andrew Tate you f***ing scumbag"

Tate responded to the clip on Twitter, branding Paul an idiot in a multi-tweet rant. He wrote: "Logan calls me gay as an insult, then says Im homophobic. Logan calls a mixed race man Racist. Logan is genuinely an idiot. Not even trying to internet beef. He's clearly just low IQ. Theres a reason everyone laughs at him."
In his second message, the kickboxer added: "Mike's smart enough to know how bad they looked and is sorry. They lost all credibility as agents of the Matrix and Mike wants to back away from that. Fair and smart. Logan is too stupid to read the room and understand he made a fool of himself, so continues being a fool." He punctuated the tweet with a clown emoji.
