KSI and Andrew Tate have been engaged in a war of words since the Top G replaced the YouTuber as CEO of Misfits Boxing in October, with Tate suffering defeat at Misfits Mania hours after Jake Paul’s loss to Anthony Joshua
KSI unleashed a savage social media attack following Andrew Tate’s defeat to Chase DeMoor in Saturday night’s Misfits Mania main event. The duo have been at each other’s throats since October’s bombshell announcement that Tate had replaced KSI as Misfits Boxing’s chief executive.
The YouTube sensation was absolutely livid about the shake-up, considering he’d co-founded the organisation with manager Mams Taylor. Before the bout kicked off, the 31-year-old couldn’t resist celebrating Anthony Joshua’s triumph over Jake Paul on X (formerly Twitter), with the British heavyweight securing victory after six rounds.
KSI harbours a bitter, long-standing feud with Paul, stemming from their early boxing encounters involving their respective siblings.

He then posted: “Now I just need an Arsenal win and Andrew Tate to get knocked out and then this will be a fantastic weekend.”
The Gunners duly delivered – clinching a 1-0 triumph over Everton on Merseyside.
“This is the best weekend I’ve had this year omg [Oh my God],” KSI subsequently tweeted following Tate’s downfall.
Twisting the knife further, KSI then shared a photograph of both Paul and Tate at their most vulnerable moments after their respective clashes, with the caption: “Christmas came early,” accompanied by a crying emoji.
Despite Tate’s extensive combat sports background spanning MMA, kickboxing, K1 and Muay Thai, he hadn’t stepped into professional competition for half a decade and had never previously contested a boxing bout.
The 39-year-old started off strong, but as the fight progressed, ‘King Cobra’ seemed to be grappling with his stamina.
DeMoor seized the opportunity, landing a powerful right hand on Tate, and the tide of the match shifted from that point.
“I’m gonna have to go back, watch the fight, make a decision but Chase deserves his win,” Tate admitted post-fight.
“I’m really happy for him, genuinely. Better to try and lose than to not try at all.”
Following his loss, Tate has shared several posts on X.
His first message stated: “Most men have never felt the sting of defeat because most men have never even tried.”
