Fans are unsure which of Jake Paul or Andrew Tate will be "sparked out" if they meet in the boxing ring.
Paul is looking for an opponent for his sixth professional boxing fight after cancelling his planned meeting with Hasim Rahman Jr which was set for this weekend at Madison Square Garden. The YouTube star has previously been called out by controversial former kickboxer Tate, 35, who has risen to fame on social media.
Reports have indicated Paul is targeting a fight with Tate nex t and could open talks following his planned call-out on his brother Logan's Imapulsive podcast. Fans are not sure who will prevail with one fan predicting: "Tate is actually pretty good. I think he beats Jake eight out of ten times." One fan agreed: "I don’t have an affinity for Tate, but he would destroy Jake and I’m here for it."
One fan disagreed: "It’s perfect. It’s what Jake wants. Not a good boxing match but a back and forth press conference and internet trolling." Another was less optimistic for Tate: "If Tate loses, his era is over." Another fan made an interesting claim: "Jake wouldn’t show up." A fan made a fight prediction: "Jake wouldn’t show up."
Another backed Tate: "Andrew Tate is so much more likeable and much more articulate than Jake Paul." As did another: "Honestly it’s a win win wouldn’t mind seeing either get knocked out and the press conference would be entertaining." One final fan remained on the fence: "Honestly it’s a win win wouldn’t mind seeing either get knocked out and the press conference would be entertaining."
Tate has claimed he has had 87 kickboxing fights with nine defeats, which could see him go into the contest as the favourite. Paul has had just five professional bouts during his boxing career which include former UFC stars Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren.
Who would you back to win - Jake Paul or Andrew Tate? Let us know in the comments section below
Paul was called out by Tate for the first time back in 2020 where he made an intriguing $3million offer, but Paul recently claimed he didn't know who he was. However Tate has now rekindled his rivalry with Paul, claiming he will beat the star in a boxing fight if they touch gloves.
"I don't dislike him, I understand him but I want to make something clear, I would still kick the living f*** out of Jake Paul," he said during an appearance on The Fellas podcast. "I'm not some washed-up UFC fighter and I'm not smaller than him, I would beat the living s*** out of him and if he wants to fight I'll fight him any day of the f****ng week.
"He's very smart with his 'I'm just a YouTuber angle'. You're a full grown man with the best coaches in the world who has dedicated years to learning how to box. The guy's not a jack*** and the fact he puts this spin on it is very smart."
