Andrew Tate ready to compete in boxing matches organized by misfitsClaiming that he is replacing the YouTube star ksi As CEO of Fight Promotions.
British-American influencer Tate is scheduled to fight 29-year-old TV personality Chase DeMure in Dubai on December 20.
Tate, 38, is a former professional kickboxer with a record of 76 wins (32 by knockout), 9 losses and 1 draw and has also competed in mixed martial arts. His Misfits bout – a heavyweight contest – would be his boxing debut.
However, Tate is known as an influential person. A self-described “misogynist” who flaunts his lavish lifestyle on social media, Tate has faced multiple allegations of rape and human trafficking. Tate and his 37-year-old brother Tristan, who has also been charged with rape and human trafficking, both deny all charges against them.
This May, UK Crown Prosecution Service Brought 21 charges against the brothers. The service said Andrew faces 10 charges relating to three alleged victims – including rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for profit – while Tristan faces 11 charges relating to one alleged victim, including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking.
The Crown Prosecution Service said it had authorized charges against the Tate brothers in 2024 ahead of a warrant for their extradition from Romania, where they live and an investigation is also underway. It is being told that investigation is going on against both the brothers in America also.
Andrew Tate last won a kickboxing match via second-round TKO against Cosmin Lingurar in December 2020. The Bucharest result saw him follow up on two previous stoppage wins at the start of the year in the Romanian capital: a win over Iulian Strugariu in February and a win against Miralem Ahmeti in November.
Now he is making the move into boxing, formerly as part of the Misfits promotion – according to his claim – headed by KSI.
“Welcome to your new CEO, this was no hostile takeover but it was definitely planned,” Tate said in an announcement video. [Taylor] And I’m going to work together to finally put the Misfits where they belong on the world stage.

Tate claimed, “The greatest disruptive force in the history of sports entertainment, so seeing that the person who failed to live up to his responsibilities in making this organization as big as it should have been, has been ousted and I am the new CEO.”
“KSI tweeted something three years ago that made me angry, so long story: I took his company away from him,” Tate said in an interview with Fred Talks Fighting on Thursday.
“And considering I’m the biggest name on the planet, if I have to fight for an organization, why not fight for an organization that I own a percentage of? It makes a lot of business sense.”
YouTuber KSI, real name Olajide Olatunji, launched Misfits in 2021 and has fought five times under the promotion.
