• Logan Paul wants Tate match-up

  Logan Paul has performed a U-turn and is now keen on an MMA fight with Andrew Tate after admitting he would like to “f**k him up”.

  Paul previously pulled the plug on a potential clash with Tate after the American-British fighter was banned from social media for his controversial views on women.

  The WWE superstar claimed he didn’t want to give the kickboxer a platform but now seems to have changed his mind.

  The 27-year-old claims he would love to “turn his face inside out” and would even be open to facing Tate inside the Octagon.

  However, a potential fight might take a while as the YouTuber is scheduled to challenge Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel this Saturday.

  Paul said during an interview with UFC star Sean O’Malley: “I have said what I said that I didn’t feel like platforming him.

  “But then this motherf****r starts talking a lot of s**t. 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*****g 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.”

• Silva won’t beg for rematch

  Anderson Silva has revealed he won’t beg for a rematch with Jake Paul, after he was comprehensively beaten.

  “I know I lost,” Silva said in a press conference after the fight. “I know I failed in my whole strategy, and my opponent won.

  “I’m not the same as the other guys that fight with Jake, like, ‘Oh, I need revenge. I need rematch.’

  “Let’s see what happens. Maybe. I don’t know.”

• Sulaiman slammed

  Boxing fans slammed WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman after he praised Jake Paul and branded his critics “bitter” and “haters”.

  Paul defeated UFC legend Anderson Silva via unanimous decision on Saturday in the biggest victory of his young boxing career.

  Sulaiman took to Twitter where he congratulated the 25-year-old American for a “sensational” and “entertaining” victory over Silva.

  The WBC president dubbed the YouTuber a “legit fighter” and lambasted anyone who doubts his talent.

  Sulaiman tweeted: “After last night whoever says @jakepaul is not a legit fighter is simply bitter and a hater.

  “Congratulations on a sensational & entertaining win and great show of sportsmanship #fairplay.”

  But fans quickly responded by accurately pointing out that Paul has yet to beat an actual boxer.

  The Problem Child has won all of his six fights so far against YouTuber AnEsonGib, ex-basketball player Nate Robinson and retired MMA fighters Ben Askren, Silva and Tyron Woodley, whom he beat twice.

  One fan tweeted: “Lol. Sulaiman trying to get in on it. Paul has no wins against an actual boxer.”

  Another posted: “Can’t say that yet. He fights MMA fighters, not boxers.”

• Brother Reunited

  Jake Paul may appear at Crown Jewel when his brother Logan challenges Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

  Logan and Reigns are scheduled to lock horns on Saturday at the MRSOOL Park in Saudi Arabia and the challenger is in dire need of backup.

  The Problem Child defeated MMA legend Anderson Silva on Saturday and extended his undefeated boxing streak to six wins, although he has never faced a professional boxer.

  The American has been mixing it up with athletes of various different sports and it doesn’t seem unlikely that he could soon cross over to pro wrestling after his brother signed his WWE contract in June.
