The ongoing Twitter beef between the Swedish environmental activist, Greta Thunberg, and social media’s rightfully crowned king of controversy, Andrew Tate, has caught the attention of millions of fans worldwide. Moreover, this beef in turn paved the way for Tate to be arrested by the National Gendarmerie force of Romania. Meanwhile, it looks like ‘the Matrix’ is once again adding to Tate’s troubles. Tate has often boasted about his prowess in the sport of kickboxing. In a blow to his waning macho image, a resurfaced video showed Tate getting brutally beaten up by his opponent in a kickboxing match.

It should be mentioned that Tate is a four-time champion across two weight classes in the International Sport Kickboxing Association (ISKA). In fact, he was also ranked as Britain’s 7th-best light-heavyweight kickboxer in 2008.

Andrew Tate gets knocked out

‘Top G’ faced Franci Grajš for the Enfusion 3: Trial of the Gladiators in 2012. However, the fight that took place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, saw him struggling to keep up with his opponent. In the video, Tate was subject to a brutal volley of attacks from Grajš in the very first round. Towards the middle of the round, he even looked like he was too tired to continue. Grajš then went on to deliver the final blow with a merciless knee to the head, knocking Tate out.

Meanwhile, Tate had addressed the same at The Fellas podcast. Talking about the same, “I’ve been knocked out cold once. Only once in 87 fights, which is good for a career. I wouldn’t say it hurts. You don’t remember much, it’s much like a dream.”
