Jake Paul and Andrew Tate have started “negotiations” for a potential boxing bout.
On Thursday, The Problem Child took to Twitter and Instagram to share a video of the two facing off with caption, “Negotiations. @MostVpromotions.”
Paul’s Most Valuable Promotion brand also shared the clip to Instagram with the hashtag, “PaulTate 2023.”
MVP also shared a video of Paul training in the ring with the caption, “Back on the grind. Tate next?”
A Paul-Tate fight has been discussed for some time, but now it appears as though it actually might happen.
In August, Paul was skeptical about a fight between the two happening.

“It’s too big of a risk for him. He’s ‘alpha male,’ right? That’s his whole entire thing. And when he loses — he will lose to either one of us he fights — his whole schtick and all the women will be like, ‘Yeah!’ and his whole schtick goes out the window.”
Tate is a former pro kickboxer (76-9), who also had a short stint in MMA. He is now an internet personality, known for his controversial opinions, dubbed the “King of Toxic Masculinity.”
Paul is now 6-0 in his pro boxing career after he beat his “idol,” former longtime UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, by unanimous decision last month at Desert Diamond Arena in Arizona.
