Andrew Tate may step back into combat sports before 2025 ends.
The polarizing influencer sparks outrage with his views on women but still commands a huge male following worldwide.
Before becoming infamous online, the 38-year-old built his reputation as a professional kickboxer. His record reportedly stands at 76 wins, nine losses, and one draw, with 32 stoppages.
Nicknamed “Cobra,” Tate last fought in December 2020. He won by second-round TKO at a regional promotion in Bucharest, Romania.
Although absent from official competition since, Tate posts frequent sparring footage. He uses these clips to showcase his skills and remind fans of his pedigree.
Talks heat up for Misfits Boxing heavyweight clash
Combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani reported on Tuesday that Tate is in advanced talks with Misfits Boxing.
The negotiations point to a heavyweight debut under the promotion later this year. Sources suggest Tate could step into the spotlight before 2025 closes.
Insiders expect confirmation soon. Reports claim the announcement may come on Saturday during Misfits Boxing 22 in Manchester, England.
Legal challenges cast shadow over comeback
Tate’s planned return comes as he battles ongoing legal troubles with his brother, Tristan.
The pair face allegations of sexual assault, human trafficking, and money laundering. Prosecutors accuse them of running an organized crime group that exploited women.
Romanian authorities arrested the brothers in 2022. They remain under investigation there, while a separate criminal case continues in Florida.
