About Misfits Boxing

Misfits Boxing, co-founded by prominent British content creator KSI, focuses on influencer boxing and crossover fights, gaining attention for featuring notable personalities such as Logan Paul and Tommy Fury.

Legal Troubles

At 38, Tate is currently entangled in significant legal issues, facing a slew of criminal and civil allegations across multiple countries, primarily concerning allegations of abuse against women. Alongside his brother Tristan, the Tates were arrested in Romania in 2022 on serious charges that include human trafficking, money laundering, and sexual activities with a minor. The brothers were formally charged last year with participating in what prosecutors describe as a criminal organization that exploited women.

In May, the U.K. Crown Prosecution Service added new charges against the pair linked to various women, with Andrew facing accusations including rape, bodily harm, human trafficking, and maintaining a prostitution ring for profit. Furthermore, a civil trial focusing on the Tates is expected to commence in London in June 2026. Additionally, they are being investigated for criminal activities in Florida.

Both Andrew and Tristan Tate continue to assert their innocence regarding all allegations made against them. Notably, Andrew Tate last competed in a kickboxing match in Romania in December 2020, prior to his rise as a self-styled “misogynist influencer”.
