Andrew Tate offered to fight Logan Paul for free - then demanded he be the A-Side in a prospective bout between the pair.
The former kickboxing world champion has been engaged in a rivalry with Paul over the last few months after the YouTube star seemed to back the mass banning of his social media accounts. Paul had previously indicated he would like to call out Tate for his return to boxing, but when Tate was banned, he changed his tune and declared he wouldn't platform his views.
And the feud has become heated in recent weeks, with Tate declaring that Paul is a shill for major tech corporations such as YouTube after his own brush with 'cancel culture' in 2018. Back then, the YouTuber was at risk of losing it all when he shot and posted a vlog in which he appeared to see a dead body in a Japanese forest known for suicide.
It was, ironically, a series of boxing matches with one of the biggest stars on YouTube; KSI, that gave Paul the opportunity to regain relevance and restore public sentiment towards he and his brother Jake. But he doesn't want to offer that same chance to Tate, declaring that he is concerned about the danger of his rhetoric
“He doesn’t stand for anything and doesn’t mean anything he says,” Tate said during an appearance on the Valuetainment podcast. “He will flip-flop on any issue, he can be bought and sold, the dude’s a b****. I’ll fight him for free. The guy’s an idiot.
"Because he was canceled before and it emotionally destroyed him. He sat on camera crying his eyes out like a little girl, instead of being a man about it. He is so fearful of the mob, so scared of being canceled again, that he’s going to sit there and say anything he’s told.”

However, in an interview with Mirror Fighting around the same time, Tate appeared to indicate that being the A-Side, meaning making more money than his opponent, was a factor in the making of a fight with Paul. He believes that he is the bigger draw and more experienced fighter, meaning he should be in control of fight talks.
"It's a matter of making sure the deal gets done correctly," he explained. "I'm not going to allow any of these social media clowns to pretend that they're the A-Side of negotiations when I'm the most famous man on the planet, they do not deserve more money than me, in fact it's the opposite.
"If they don't fight me they fight bums, KSI won't fight me because he's afraid. He just tweeted this morning that I'm too big for him, after calling me out and I said yes. He said my name, I said yes and then he made an excuse. Logan and Jake are obviously on the cards, there's somebody else we're talking about, but perhaps more Logan than Jake."
