The buzz around Andrew Tate stepping back into combat sports has taken over the crossover boxing scene. Known for his decorated kickboxing career and massive online following, Tate has long been linked with a return to the ring. Now, new reports suggest it could finally be happening — and with Misfits Boxing.

Ariel Helwani’s Report and Tam Khan’s Post
Respected MMA journalist Ariel Helwani recently revealed that Andrew Tate is in advanced talks to make his boxing debut with KSI’s Misfits promotion. According to Helwani, the bout is being lined up for later this year and would be Tate’s first time competing since his retirement from professional kickboxing.
Adding even more fuel to the speculation, Tate’s close friend Tam Khan posted on X that a huge fight offer has been sent through. His post read:
“Been sent an offer of $22m + PPV cut to make this fight in either Dubai or Moscow. @Cobratate vs Tamaeev a Russian influencer. Top G Promotions alongside TK Events in collaboration with the organiser. Boxing rules.”

The mention of a $22 million offer plus a share of pay-per-view revenue instantly grabbed attention across the fight world. The suggested matchup against Russian influencer Tamaeev would not only be a massive financial spectacle, but also a global event if staged in Dubai or Moscow.
For Misfits, which thrives on influencer-driven matchups and crossover super fights, the addition of Andrew Tate would mark its biggest signing yet. With his name value, combat sports background, and global fanbase, Tate’s entry could push the promotion to new heights.
