KSI and Mams Taylor began trending after unexpected changes rocked their boxing business. The pair co-founded Misfits Boxing, with KSI as CEO and Mams as president. But in late October 2025, the company replaced KSI with Andrew Tate as its new chief executive. The sudden shift stunned fans and triggered widespread online debate. Many demanded answers about what caused the split between the long-time partners.
Why KSI Lost Control of Misfits Boxing
In October 2025, Misfits Boxing confirmed KSI’s removal as CEO. Mams Taylor explained that KSI’s long absences and delays were damaging the company’s reputation. He said their partnership had become unbalanced because KSI no longer attended planning sessions or major event meetings. According to Mams, Misfits needed a more present and proactive leader to drive progress. The board decided that a new figurehead could revive the brand and keep audiences excited about future shows.
Andrew Tate Steps In to Lead Misfits
Andrew Tate, a former world champion in kickboxing, assumed the role of CEO immediately. He announced the move online, referring to himself as the new “Combat Executive Officer.” Tate vowed to energize Misfits Boxing and expand its global presence. He also revealed his plans to make his boxing debut under the Misfits banner, facing TV personality Chase DeMoor in Dubai. Tate promised to bring intensity, spectacle, and renewed momentum to the company’s next chapter.
