Andrew Tate Calls Jake Paul’s Bout With Anthony Joshua “Retirement Money”

In a recent interview, former kickboxer and social‑media figure Andrew Tate gave a brutally honest take on Jake Paul’s upcoming showdown with Anthony Joshua, describing it as a potential payday rather than a “real fight.”

While offering “huge respect” to Paul for stepping into the ring against a seasoned heavyweight champion, Tate warned that the fight could end up being nothing more than “retirement money.”

He expressed hope that both fighters walk away without serious injury, underscoring the physical risk involved in matching Paul, still considered an underdog, with a powerful knockout artist like Joshua.

Tate said that Paul deserves acknowledgment for his confidence and willingness to take on a dangerous challenge:

“He’s a brave man, he believes in himself,” he stated. But he also didn’t shy away from pointing out that — at worst — this fight could mark the end of Paul’s boxing ambitions if things go poorly.

For some fans and pundits, Tate’s frank words cut through the hype. They frame the fight not as a test of skill or legacy, but as a business transaction that offers massive financial reward regardless of the outcome. Given Paul’s background as a crossover entertainer and promoter — not a traditional elite boxer — Tate’s warning raises serious questions about whether this match-up belongs anywhere near a legitimate competitive record.

Still, Paul’s camp insists this bout is more than a pay‑day — presenting it as a legitimate opportunity to prove himself on a global stage. Whether Joshua agrees to take the fight, or if both men make it out unscathed, Tate’s sober prediction adds a jarring dose of realism to what many are calling one of the most controversial and talked‑about contests in modern boxing.
