Andrew Tate describes Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua in one word

Andrew Tate believes Jake Paul's fight with Anthony Joshua will be "interesting".

Paul and Joshua will clash in Miami next Friday in a sanctioned heavyweight contest which has been widely criticised. The following night, Tate will make his boxing debut when he takes on Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor in Dubai, marking his return to the ring following a successful kickboxing career.

Tate has had his beef with Paul in the past but paid tribute to the social media star. "I think thats going to be a very interesting night,"

. "I have so much respect for anyone who gets in the ring. People are putting their lives on the line to provide entertainment for people at home. I have a lot of respect for Jake and AJ and I'm just glad they're going to get in there and I do it and I hope they get out safe."

One similarity between the fights is a clause dictating what weight the fighters can be, despite both bouts being staged at heavyweight. Joshua must not weigh more than 245lb for his meeting with Paul while DeMoor claims Tate insisted on him weighing UNDER 200lb, which would make the fight a cruiserweight contest.

"If he was so confident he was going to beat me, then why do we have a weight clause in a heavyweight bout?" he asked. "Why are we fighting under 200 pounds? Why is there a rehydration clause? Why is it his arena, his judges, his referee? Why did he try to deny my gloves? I have to fight in house clothes," said DeMoor.

"They offered me this fight in July. I said, ‘Whatever he wants, give him whatever he wants. Just put him in the ring.’ He wants the weight cut, fine. He wants the rounds, fine. He wants the gloves, the rings, the judges, fine, fine, fine. I had zero negotiation skills in this.

"Every fight I have, I’m always been the underdog. And people think I’m going to lose. And then I’ve gone out there and I’ve knocked them out in the first three rounds."

And while Tate has respect for Paul and Joshua, he has a different view of his opponent. "I can change my opponent and I could make more money and people would watch it," he said. "The world is focused on me. This whole fight is about me. I have been offered a lot more money to fight other people. This is the Andrew Tate show. Face to floor, it does not matter if he is in the ring or not... I want him to be aware that this is my show and not his show."
