It's not hard to find someone opposed to the ideas and beliefs held by Andrew 'Top G' Tate. His controversial takes and outlandish opinions have gained significant traction on social media platforms, with many users taking to their own platforms to state their opposition to the views of Tate. Originally a kickboxer, he competed in 85 fights in a career that spanned over a decade, with 23 of his 76 victories coming via way of knockout. The Brit has also dabbled in MMA, winning two of his three bouts. Since his retirement from contact sport, however, Tate's various business and online ventures, alongside multiple legal cases, have provided encouragement for those who opposed his views to voice their objections. His first online course, 'Hustler's University', was criticised by many for being a "social media pyramid scheme", while an investigation by The Observer described a "network of copycat accounts on TikTok." Nevertheless, Tate's marketing strategy worked, with the views on TikTok videos with his name as a hashtag peaking at over 13 billion. 'The Top G' has also had several high-profile legal cases brought against him, including allegations of rape, human trafficking, and of forming an organised crime group. His alleged crimes against women, paired with his outspoken views on the roles of women in modern society, have led many to label him as a misogynist. All in all, there is no shortage of people who would jump at the opportunity to get in the ring with the former kickboxer and demonstrate their dissatisfaction with his views, and one 'hater' got just the opportunity. A resurfaced video shows Tate donning a pair of boxing gloves, sparring with his opponent in an at-home gym. A firm right hook was all it took to send his opponent to the mat just seconds in, before Tate told him, "Get up, focus." Throughout the video, Tate repeatedly offers encouragement and advice, while seemingly allowing the other fighter to land some shots. However, a strong left to the midriff sent his opponent stumbling backwards, before a flurry of head and body shots saw the fighter down for the count. Andrew Tate's Return to Boxing With Misfits The resurfaced video comes ahead of Andrew Tate's return to contact sport. It was recently announced by Misfits Boxing co-founder, Mams Taylor, that Tate would compete in the promotion, with his first bout being an exhibition match against actor-turned-boxer Chase DeMoor in Dubai on the 20th of December as the headline bout for Misfits 23.
