YouTube star Logan Paul has received his brother Jake's permission to "beat the s***" out of controversial kickboxer Andrew Tate.
Tate, a former world champion kickboxer, has received unprecedented fame on social media in recent months and has been calling out Jake for a boxing fight on several occasions. 'The Problem Child' even revealed Tate recently sent him a "secret message" amid the " sophisticated " negotiations that a fight between the pair is in the works.
Whilst discussing the social media sensation on their podcast Impaulsive, Logan asked his brother: "What do you mean you versus Andrew Tate?" to which Jake replied: "I'm not saying a fight, I'm saying our back and forth. He talks s*** about me and says he wants to beat my a** and all this stuff. Fellow podcast host Mike Majlak then reminded Jake he is serious about his boxing career and advised against fighting the controversial kickboxer.

Logan then said: "Jake, I know he's been talking s*** about you bro, but with your blessing can I beat the s*** out of Andrew f****ng Tate?". Jake gave his brother approval, replying: "100 per cent, but I don't think he would fight us. I think it's too big of a risk for him because he's alpha male, that's his thing. When he loses, his whole schtick goes out of the window."
Logan hasn't fought since going eight rounds with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather last June. 'The Maverick' recently announced he will make his boxing return this December, but doesn't have an opponent organised for his ring return. Meanwhile, Tate claims to have had 87 fights as a kickboxer and has also racked up three wins in three professional MMA fights, one of which coming over former UFC middleweight Luke Barnatt.
Tate has previously suggested he has no animosity towards Jake but would be willing to step in the ring to end his fighting career. "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 told 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 just very smart with his 'I'm just a YouTuber angle'."
