News broke at the end of last week that former professional fighter and media personality, Andrew Tate, will be taking over the reins at sports promotional company, Misfits Boxing. Tate's claims mean he is set to replace YouTuber-turned-boxer, KSI, as the CEO of the company ahead of competing in a boxing bout next month. The ex-kickboxer and MMA fighter is scheduled to face reality television star, Chase DeMoor, at the Coco-Cola Arena in Dubai on the 20th of December for the Misfits Boxing heavyweight title. Misfits Boxing Taken Over by Andrew Tate Misfits Boxing was founded three years ago by KSI alongside Mams Taylor, Kalle Sauerland, and Nisse Sauerland with the aim of staging celebrity boxing bouts. KSI, who appeared to be unaware of Tate replacing him as the Misfits Boxing CEO prior to the news breaking, immediately responded with rage to the matter, writing on X: "WHAT THE ACTUAL F*** IS GOING ON? This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life. Let's make ANDREW TATE THE CEO OF MISFITS?!? ARE YOU F****** SERIOUS?!?" Following the announcement, footage has emerged on social media of Tate's last bout before he initially retired from professional fighting in 2016. Unfortunately for the 38-year-old, the now viral footage, with close to five million views on one video alone on X, does not reflect the best of his fighting ability or mentality. Andrew Tate's Last Fight Tate can be seen quitting in the opening round of his contest against Ibrahim El Boustati at Enfusion Live 44 in the Netherlands, gesturing to an issue with his eye after being stung by a big left hook from his opponent. This led to him losing his Enfusion Live World Cruiserweight title to El Boustaf, with the decision labelled as a TKO loss on his fighting record. Tate called time on his career after that loss due to severe eye damage that had gotten worse over his career. Evidently, the reemergence of the footage from Tate's loss to El Boustaf shows Misfits Boxing fans are not happy with the apparent decision to remove KSI from the CEO position and replace him with Tate. It also means DeMoor is likely to have more fans on his side when he faces off against Tate in their boxing encounter next month.
