Andrew Tate is reportedly edging closer to a fight with YouTube star Jake Paul. The popular influencer and former professional kickboxer is a highly controversial figure in the internet world and has been calling for a fight with ‘The Problem Child’ for quite some time.
During a recent episode of The Fellas podcast, Tate doubled down on his desire to fight Paul, stating: “I want to make something clear — I would still kick the living f**k out of Jake Paul. I’m not some washed-up UFC fighter. I’m not smaller than him. I will beat the living s**t out of him.”
Now it appears Tate might be close to getting what he wants. Reports from the host of DramaAlert, Keemstar, suggest that Paul is ‘targeting’ a fight with Tate. While Paul’s older brother Logan also confirmed that both men will appear on his podcast, Impaulsive, in the not-so-distant future.
But who is Tate? Here, Express Sport gives you all you need to know about the internet personality.Who is Andrew Tate?
Tate, 35, is a four-time ISKA world champion in kickboxing but is best known for his role as an entrepreneur and content creator. The British-American runs an online course in “modern wealth creation” and has garnered millions of followers online.
According to Tate, he made his first million dollars at 27 and has since become a ‘trillionaire’. Of course, there are no trillionaires on the planet. Essential Sports estimates that Tate’s net worth is around £24million which places him way outside of the top 100 rich list by around £13billion.
Tate is, however, a well-accomplished kickboxer with a solid record. The internet celebrity claims to have had 87 fights in various disciplines and only nine losses to his name with a big win over former UFC star Luke Barnatt in an amateur MMA bout back in 2010. He has also competed in professional MMA and holds a 1-0 record.

He was evicted under controversial circumstances from the British reality television show after a video surfaced online appearing to show him beating a woman with a belt. Tate later claimed that the act was consensual and that the footage had been distorted.
He found himself being heavily criticised again in 2017 for his comments about rape. As reported by the Metro, Tate tweeted: “Sexual harassment is disgusting and inexcusable. However, a man looking at you or whistling at you or asking your name isn’t harassment.”
He continued: “Women have been exchanging sex for opportunity for a very long time. Some did this. Weren’t abused. […] If you put yourself in a position to be raped, you must bear some responsibility.”
Tate began creating online content shortly after these comments.
