Influencer boxing is a new trend in combat sports. Many social media superstars, like Logan Paul, Jake Paul, KSI, and others, have taken up boxing in recent years. Similarly, controversial social media sensation Andrew Tate has been challenged to compete in the squared ring by many. KSI, a well-known British YouTuber, is one of the challengers. The British man recently mocked Tate, claiming he could beat him in boxing.
Surprisingly, the 36-year-old had replied to KSI’s call-out. Let’s have a look at what Andrew Tate aka ‘Cobra’ stated to KSI to see whether they’re competing.
What did Andrew Tate say to KSI?
Andrew Tate has a history in professional kickboxing. He had an incredible pro-kickboxing record, with several of his victories coming by knockout. However, he dropped out of the competition.
‘Cobra’ was recently spotted enjoying his roots as he shared a video of himself working with his old coach. He then posted a video of himself sparring with an unknown guy. In response to the video, KSI jibed at Tate. After witnessing Tate’s tactics, he said that he could ‘destroy’ him. KSI wrote:
I was literally teaching him and telling him what to do. I wasnt even punching back.

“From watching this, I would absolutely DESTROY Andrew Tate. Watch me on May 13th for those that don’t believe me.”
While responding to KSI’s words, Tate said that he was training the other guy and wasn’t even using his full power. Tate wrote:
“I was literally teaching him and telling him what to do. I wasn’t even punching back.”
However, this isn’t the first time KSI and Tate have sparred verbally. They have previously engaged in such conversations. But, there has been no official announcement about their fight. As a result, it is difficult to predict whether they will compete inside the ring.
In addition, the British YouTuber is due to face Joe Fournier in an exhibition crossover boxing bout. On May 13, 2023, the fight will take place at Wembley Arena in London, England.
Tate once faced off with Jake Paul
There were rumors of Andrew Tate’s battle with YouTuber turned professional boxer Jake Paul, similar to KSI. To add to the excitement, the two launched verbal digs at each other.
Following that, Tate and Paul shocked the combat world by engaging in a fierce face-off. Even that bout, however, never materialized and was limited to face-offs.
Tate is now being held in Romania under house arrest on allegations of human trafficking and money laundering. Meanwhile, Paul is due to box against UFC veteran Nate Diaz in August. As a result, it remains to be seen if they will compete in the future.
Do you guys think Paul vs. Tate will happen? What do you think about Tate’s response to KSI?
