In response, Tate expressed his disagreement with the lifestyle. He said, “I think we live in a world with the internet where young men especially. Instead of trying to go the very hard road of becoming a man who naturally garners attention due his competence, instead thinks well this dance gets views. So if I do this stupid little dance, I’ll get views.”

However, O’Malley contradicted him by stating that boxing can be considered a dance. Moreover, she backed her statement by mentioning that boxers also put themselves on display, like TikTok dancers.

Tate further divulged information about the dangers of the sport by saying, “I’ve seen five people die. I don’t want to sit here and brag and talk about the things I’ve done to people. There are people who will never be the same again after they stepped in the ring with me, ever again. I’ve seen screaming wives crying over their lifeless husbands. I’ve done things you wouldn’t believe.”

He also added that it was disrespectful to compare the sport of boxing to a TikTok dance. Moreover, he also mentioned that boxers were akin to gladiators who put themselves in a life or death situation.
