Logan Paul has performed a U-turn and suggested he is willing to "platform" Andrew Tate for a high-profile clash.
Paul is currently fighting in the WWE after signing a long-term deal with the wrestling promotion, where he will challenge for the title against Roman Reigns next weekend. However Paul is open to the idea of returning to the squared circle, and is eyeing a return in January alongside his friend and business partner KSI on a Misfits Boxing card.
Paul previously called-out controversial former kickboxer Tate to a boxing fight before refusing to enter negotiations after his rival was banned from social media platforms for his controversial views on women. However Paul has now threatened to f*** up Tate but is unsure a fight can be made claiming Tate has requested two warm-up fights.
"I have said what I said that I didn't feel like platforming him," Paul said during an interview with UFC star Sean O'Malley. "But then this motherf***** starts talking a lot of s***. And maybe I would take the opportunity to platform him for one night and turn his face inside out. Have him wheeled out on a stretcher with his brother holding his hand in an ambulance. The thought of that is compelling and I like the idea of f***ing up Andrew Tate.
"So maybe I will take it back and I will fight Andrew Tate. I take back what I said and I am man enough to say I made a mistake when I said I wouldn't platform him I would do it. He has been talking s*** online, he said that he would fight me for free so I got excited. So I text his agent and said 'he said he would fight me for free it sounds like a money day for me'. So he rang him up and it turns out he wants two warm-up fights.
"I was pushing for it this would be fantastic. I thought maybe we could forego those warm-up fights and do it. But then the agent replied and said 'if you want to fight him Whatsapp him directly'. I have a solution, why don't we do something that neither of us have done? An MMA fight between me and Tate in the UFC. Me vs Tate in the octagon. I am giving him options."
Who would win if Logan Paul fights Andrew Tate? Let us know in the comments section below
Tate previously s tated he wanted to fight Paul for free but also made contradicting demands insisting that he would be the A-side and demand significant financial reward. A fight currently looks unlikely with Tate hitting out at the current WWE star claiming he wouldn't have to train to win the showdown.
"It doesn't really matter to me if it was kickboxing, I would completely destroy him," Tate said. "I think he is far better than Logan, I think Jake would be much harder to beat and I feel like I would have to train like a fighter instead of Logan who would be easy to beat. Me vs Logan would be the best fight."
