KSI Uses Andrew Tate’s Recent Boxing Video to Shamelessly Promote His Fight
KSI, the British YouTuber and boxer, called out Andrew Tate on Twitter after a video surfaced of the latter boxing. The two men have a history of animosity and this latest development has reignited their feud.
TikTok user “asap.robert” shared a three-minute video of himself sparring with Tate, who can be seen knocking down his opponent several times.
Still, KSI took the video at face value and said he would “destroy” Tate in the ring, shamelessly plugging his May 13 fight right after.
“From watching this, I would absolutely DESTROY Andrew Tate,” KSI tweeted. “Watch me on May 13th for those that don’t believe me.”
Tate, 36, responded by saying that he wasn’t even trying to punch his opponent. By the looks of the video, it’s clear the former kickboxing champion wasn’t even fighting at half speed.
Andrew Tate vs KSI, Who Would Win?
Tate’s impressive fighting background includes mixed martial arts such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu and kickboxing.
KSI, whose real name is Olajide William Olatunji, gained fame through his YouTube channel, but became a professional boxer in 2018, with his first fight against fellow YouTuber Joe Weller.

Since then, he has fought against Logan Paul twice, drawing the first fight and winning the second. KSI is seven years Tate’s junior and 11 years younger than Joe Fournier, his upcoming opponent for the May 13 bout.
Tate, who is currently under house arrest in Romania, has won several world championships in kickboxing and has a record of 3-0-0 in professional MMA fights. Whether or not he will ever face off against KSI remains to be seen.
KSI sees is what I said in today’s vid. Tate stands straight up, chin high. He will counter almost every exchange but only pulling back at the waist.. shots eventually get through and land flush.
