Tate, 38, has a professional record of 76 victories (32 knockouts), nine losses, and one draw. He also competes in mixed martial art. Tate is claiming to be replacing KSI (5-1-1), a former professional kickboxer who fought Tommy Fury and Joe Fournier in five fights under Misfits. Tate’s best-known role, however, has been as an internet personality. Self-described “misogynist” Tate is a man who boasts about his extravagant lifestyle via social media. He has been accused by many of rape and trafficking. Tate and Tristan, his 37-year old brother, who also faces accusations of rape or human trafficking deny them all. In May, the UK Crown Prosecution Service laid 21 charges against both brothers. The Service said Andrew faces 10 charges relating to three alleged victims – including rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain – while Tristan faces 11 charges pertaining to one alleged victim, including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking.Enjoy 185+ fights a year on DAZN, the Global Home of BoxingNever miss a fight from top promoters.
