Jake Paul’s business manager reveals text messages from Andrew Tate after beating Mike Tyson
Jake Paul’s business manager, Nakisa Bidarian, has revealed Andrew Tate has sent text messages about a potential boxing fight in the wake of the 27-year-old’s win over Mike Tyson.
Paul won the showdown at the AT&T Stadium via unanimous decision, with the former YouTube and Disney star dominating throughout.
After the fight, controversial influencer Tate admitted he’d be open to facing Paul.
He even hailed the boxer for putting the sport on the ‘map’ and defended him amid mounting criticism, having gone up against a man 31 years his senior.
Now, Bidarian has revealed that they have exchanged text messages about Tate potentially fighting Paul.
He is unsure if anything will actually materialise, however.
Speaking on The Ariel Helwani show, he said: “Love Andrew Tate.
“He’s a good man in many ways in terms of his desire to give back to the world and I don’t know where his head is at in life in terms of what he wants to do.”
When quizzed further on a possible clash in the future, he continued: “I don’t know, Andrew has messaged me these past few days, we haven’t had that discussion to be honest with you.
“I’m not sure if that fight makes sense for Jake given where his career is at right now in terms of boxing and I’m not sure that fight transcends across… that fight for the young male demo, that’s a massive fight.
“We’ll just to spend some time with Jake and Andrew and see if that’s something they want to pursue.”
While Paul is a divisive figure within the boxing world, he’s also one of the biggest names in the sport these days.
Daniel Dubois and Canelo Alvarez have been mooted as possible opponents in the future now his bout with Tyson is out of the way.
But Paul has suggested he may end up following in the footsteps of his brother, Logan, by turning to WWE.
Speaking on Logan’s Impaulsive podcast, when quizzed about potentially changing sports, Paul said: “I would love to.
“I would want to be like your Paul Heyman.
“I wouldn’t want to wrestle as much. I can do some st, but I would want to be your sidekick businessman or some st.”
Logan then replied by saying: “I’m gonna go for it. I’m gonna go for it.
“Perhaps, if you retire, you become world champion, then you retire, and I’m still wrestling, you can be like my manager who also has a mean right hand.”
While Paul continues to celebrate his win over Tyson, it’s unclear what the future holds for the 58-year-old.
He did signal he was open to returning to the ring for a contest with Logan in the future.
But Tyson appeared to U-turn on social media by saying his fight with Paul had been his ‘last’.
