Andrew Tate Replaces KSI as Misfits Boxing CEO Amid Legal Controversies

Misfits Boxing, a promotion founded in 2021 by YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI and others, has undergone a major leadership change as Andrew Tate has replaced KSI as CEO, now titled 'Combat Executive Officer.' Tate, a former kickboxer with a record of 76-9-1, announced he will debut in boxing with Misfits, fighting heavyweight champion Chase De Moor in Dubai in December 2025. This takeover has been met with strong backlash from KSI, who expressed disbelief and frustration on social media, also criticizing his manager for focusing on Misfits over managing him. Tate's assumption of the CEO role comes amid serious legal challenges, including charges of rape and human trafficking against him and his brother in the UK and Romania, which Tate denies. Despite these controversies, Tate claims his leadership will elevate Misfits onto the global stage, blending his business interests with his boxing ambitions. The shakeup marks a significant shift for Misfits, which has hosted notable fights involving influencers and former combat sports athletes but has faced some internal conflict about its direction and leadership.
