Andrew Tate, who is busy with his legal battles over trafficking charges in Romania, joined the conversation surrounding the Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight. 

On his podcast, Tate Speech, the kickboxer and over-the-top media personality criticized Paul, 27, for fighting a much older Tyson, 58. 

“If he needs to be taught a lesson, I’ll be the guy to teach him a lesson,” he says, despite no one asking for it. 

As the podcast progresses, Tate dismissed Tyson and said that he wants to face Paul in the ring. 

“Nobody should give a s— about watching a 60-year-old fight a 27-year-old, but Jake can make them care, and because he makes them care, he gets paid more than most boxers will ever make their entire careers for one fight,” he said.

Paul knows how to generate revenue. In an interview, he stated he was set to take home around $40 million, whereas Tyson racked in $20 million.

The fight was massive, attracting celebrities and streaming to 65 million households.

Heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois and light-heavyweight titleholder Artur Beterbiev have expressed interest in facing the social media boxer in the ring.

Recently, Dubois claimed the WBA heavyweight title, and Beterbiev was the undefeated IBF, WBC and WBO light-heavyweight champion. If a deal is ever signed, this will be a much more exciting fight for viewers. 

A fight with Dubois is much more likely since Paul recently tweeted, “But f— it … I’m going to have Nakisa talk to Warren and get you in line for the throne; unlike Artur, at least you have a few thousand fans.” 

Beterbiev has a 100% knockout rate in his professional career. 

In the meantime, Tate will stay in Romania, fighting legal battles. Tate has faced some minor wins in his sex trafficking trial recently. The court found irregularities in the case and was forced to throw out some evidence. 

Tate still will not be ready to fight Paul after his trial in Romania is wrapped up because he booked to go to the U.K., where he will be deported for crimes between the years 2012-2015.

    Thank-you for the best sentence I’ve read all day:
    ““If he needs to be taught a lesson, I’ll be the guy to teach him a lesson,” he says, despite no one asking for it.”
    I’m smiling right now.
