Jake Paul claims not to know controversial kickboxer worth £100m who wants fight

Jake Paul insists he has no idea who Andrew Tate is after being called out for a boxing fight by the controversial entrepreneur and former kickboxing champion.

Tate, who was a reality TV star and kickboxing champion before reaching massive fame on social media over the past year, has said that he would be willing to pay $3million (£2.5m) to make a fight with Paul happen. He has fought some of the best kickboxers in the world and even won a couple of fights in professional and amateur MMA before retiring from combat sports due to eye issues.

Tate came back for a bout in 2020 and has said he believes he would be able to beat Paul, despite insisting that the YouTuber-turned-boxer he is much tougher than most fighters give him credit for. The kickboxer, who goes by the nickname 'Cobra Tate', is a controversial figure for his views on women and society but has a massive following with Paul's demographic.
