Andrew Tate has reportedly started training for a potential boxing match against YouTube star KSI, following the latter's successful return to the ring on Saturday night. KSI, real name JJ Olatunji, knocked out rapper Swarmz and professional boxer Luis Pineda in two separate fights, both of which were three-round bouts. Tate, a four-time kickboxing world champion, has been banned from all social media platforms due to his controversial views.
KSI initially stated that Tate was not considered as a replacement opponent for Alex Wassabi, whom he was originally scheduled to fight, but did not rule out a future clash. Tate's team has indicated that a potential fight could break viewing records, with a spokesperson saying: 'There is nothing finalised at the moment; however, Andrew and the team are very aware that a fight has the potential to break viewing records.'
Tate, who has not fought in nearly six years due to multiple eye injuries, mocked KSI for his short fights and issued a direct challenge. In a video message, Tate said: 'This is a personal message to you KSI... I will take you 12 rounds and break every bone in your f****** face and you know it.' KSI responded on Twitter with a simple retort: 'Crying from outside of the club.'
As Tate trains in Bosnia, the prospect of a showdown between the two polarising figures continues to generate significant interest among fans. The question remains whether the fight will materialise, with KSI reportedly planning another bout in January.
