KSI has spoken out after the controversial social media figure Andrew Tate replaced him as the CEO of Misfits boxing ahead of his debut fight. Mams Taylor, co-president and promoter of the organization, announced this recently, and it has since stirred sufficient controversy. KSI did not hold back about his disdain for this move.
Here’s what KSI said about Andrew Tate’s appointment.
KSI calls out Andrew Tate replacing him as Misfits Boxing CEO
In May 2022, British YouTuber KSI, his manager Mams Taylor, and other boxing promoters established Misfits Boxing, which focused on events featuring influencers and former combat sports professionals. KSI featured in two fights in one night in the first event.
But three years after that, the board decided to replace KSI with the controversial Andrew Tate. The influencer, who has been accused of multiple sexual assaults, has described his role as CEO as “Combat Executive Officer.”
KSI did not hold back on his criticism after discovering that he was being replaced. He used his X handle to comment on the development. KSI wrote, “This year people are trying to test me fr. WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K IS GOING ON? This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Let’s make ANDREW TATE THE CEO OF MISFITS?!? ARE YOU F**KING SERIOUS?!?
Many users also reacted to this development, and they did not seem much happier than KSI. “Andrew Tate as Misfits CEO? Straight up the dumbest plot twist since someone thought pineapple belongs on pizza. This is peak bulls*it territory ?” one user wrote on the post, while another wrote, “2025 speed running the worst timeline arc.”
Some are speculating that KSI’s outburst could be planned part of a WWE-like setup that will eventually see Tate and KSI facing off. But the allegations against Tate are serious, and the resulting backlash is real.
Either way, it seems that Misfits Boxing is going to move forward under the guidance of Andrew Tate, as it stands.
