The former Big Brother star looks set to face off with Paul, who hinted that talks were underway.
Paul, 25, tweeted a video of the pair facing off shirtless next to a boxing ring with the YouTuber adding the caption: “Negotiations.”
The American previously showed an interest in fighting Tate, who boasts a 76-9 record in kickboxing.
Paul said: “This interviewer asked me recently would I fight Andrew Tate and that’s when I started to see this guy pop up all over the internet.
“I was like, ‘Oh that’s Andrew Tate‘, but what I’m saying is that Andrew, if my brother doesn’t f*** you up, I will.”
Paul’s brother Logan also admitted he would love to chance to “f*** up” Tate, promising he would be “wheeled out on a stretcher” if they fought.
Logan had stated that he did not want to give Tate a platform but changed his mind because the Brit was “talking a lot of s***”.
Jake also said he does not share Tate’s opinions but declared himself a defender of free speech so gave his potential opponent a platform to speak out after he was cancelled.

“But I roll with freedom of speech.”
Tate – who is from Luton but now lives in Romania – was booted off social media platforms following a storm over his derogative comments on women.
And the 35-year-old used Paul’s Twitter account to say he is “a victim of my own success” and doesn’t care if people hate him.
Tate could be Paul’s next opponent after the 6-0 boxer defeated Anderson Silva at the end of last month.
There is also talk of Paul facing Tommy Fury or even following in brother Logan’s footsteps by fighting in WWE.
Earlier this month Paul made his first WWE appearance after storming into the ring to attack The Usos.
