Andrew Tate Former Sponsor Sidekick Boxing Goes Viral After Sharing Old Tate Video Ahead of His Fight
Andrew Tate started his kickboxing journey during the late 2000s, rapidly earning recognition for his exceptional skill and aggressive fighting approach. His growing fame and charismatic persona drew sponsorship from Sidekick Boxing, which significantly supported his advancement in the competitive scene. Over time, Tate evolved into one of Britain’s most prominent kickboxers, securing several prestigious world championship titles globally.
In 2011, Andrew captured his first ISKA World Title by defeating Jean-Luc Benoit, avenging a previous defeat and earning the Light Heavyweight crown. Tate later achieved four world titles, conquering divisions like Light Heavyweight, Cruiserweight, and others under ISKA, Enfusion, and WKA promotions. His professional record stands at 76 wins, 9 losses, and 1 draw, with a significant proportion of victories by knockout.
Sidekick Boxing, a popular UK-based fight gear brand created by Dan Knight, became Tate’s main sponsor in his early professional years. Andrew Tate served as the leading ambassador for Sidekick Boxing for four years, drawing immense attention and credibility to the brand.
Recently, Sidekick Boxing posted an old video of Tate on social media, which went viral, where the former fighter talked about his sponsorship. “As you know I’m Andrew Tate and I’m sponsored by Sidekick and Sidekick pay me money to talk about how amazing Sidekick is but there’s point taking about Sidekick unless you know who I’m. This is a world title and this means I’m the best Kickboxer in the world,” said Andrew Tate.

According to Dan Knight, Tate’s presence was polarizing and important for his business, as it set Sidekick apart in the crowded fight sports market. With Tate scheduled to make his combat sports return with Misfits Boxing, Knight has also offered him to return to his old sponsors. If not Tate, Sidekick has also offered KSI to join the brand as their athlete following his ongoing beef with Tate.
