The saga between former controversial kickboxer Andrew Tate and the Youtube sensation KSI is far from over. The two were feuding over the past weeks with Tate even going on a fiery rant on his podcast. He called KSI a hypocrite and stated that he would beat him in a match any day. Moreover, it seems like his Top G’s wish just might come true as the British Youtuber called Tate out in his post-fight speech.

After his dominating victory over the so-called professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, KSI took to the mike and called out everybody he could think of including Tate and Tommy Fury. “Andrew Tate I want a piece of that. Tommy Fury, I want a piece of that. I’m warmed up and I’m ready I’m excited nothing can harm me I’m different.” He said. This led to a thunderous roar in the O2 arena as fans cheered on their hometown hero for replying back to Tate.

This was the inaugural event of the MF & DAZN: X Series with The Nightmare having to face two opponents in one night. He took care of his first opponent, rapper Swarmz with ease and knocked him out in the second round. Moreover, he would also have an easy time against the low-level boxer Pineda, who did not look like he belonged in the ring. KSI knocked him out in the 3rd round.

Now it looks like the Youtuber has set his sights on tougher challenges like Fury and Tate which could be some very interesting matchups for him moving ahead.

Andrew Tate vs KSI

Although Tate has been a former professional kickboxing World champion, he is yet to compete in boxing. He has competed in MMA but is yet to grace the squared circle. KSI on the other hand has just boosted his professional boxing record to 3-0. Tate can be a great challenge to KSI who is looking serious about his boxing career. Although Top G isn’t a pure boxer he does have a lot of fighting experience under his belt.

However, the financial prospect of this fight could be huge as it will certainly rank among the top influencer boxing matches ever. The only issue that could arise with the fight is the willingness of DAZN to stream a card with Tate after his ban from social media platforms
