Watch Andrew Tate get KNOCKED OUT in video which will delight Jake Paul

Footage of controversial internet star Andrew Tate being brutally knocked out in a kickboxing bout has emerged, which will surely delight potential future rival Jake Paul

The 35-year-old, who grew up in Luton, Bedfordshire, has been accused of spreading misogynistic ‘rape culture’ content to audiences as young as 13 on social media platform TikTok.

But before his life as an internet personality, self-proclaimed trillionaire Tate – who is believed to be worth £24million – was a professional kickboxer and held a strong record.

However, in 2012 he fell short in his bid to become the best 85kg kickboxer in the world when he made it to the final of a tournament called Enfusion 3: Trial of the Gladiators.

Taking on Franci Grajs, the 35-year-old was backed into the ropes by a flurry of punches before receiving a crunching knee to the head, which left Tate asleep on the canvas.

Tate, who goes by the nickname ‘Cobra’, claims that this was the only time he had ever been knocked out during his 87-fight career.

‘I’ve been knocked out cold once,’ Tate said on The Fellas podcast.

‘Only once in 87 fights, which is good for a career. I wouldn’t say it hurts. You don’t remember much, it’s much like a dream. You’re furious afterwards.’

Tate’s meteoric rise has seen him linked with a fight against fellow internet star Jake Paul, who has made headway in the sport of boxing over the past two years. 

Paul, who promotes female boxer Amanda Serrano, has spoken out against Tate’s woman-hating views. The 35-year-old once featured in Big Brother but was kicked out after a video of him hitting a woman emerged. Tate claims the exchange was consensual.

‘Andrew’s Tate’s fans are all virgins, and they’re watching him to try get laid. But they’re going to get spit on and slapped by a girl, that’s what’s gonna happen,’ Paul told his brother Logan in the Impaulsive podcast.

Logan has also been linked with a fight against Tate, but Jake issued a warning to the controversial internet star. 

‘Andrew, if my brother doesn’t f*** you up, I will and it has to go down,’ Paul added

‘I don’t think he gets in the ring with one of us. I think it’s too big of a risk for him because he’s ‘alpha male’, right?

‘That’s his whole entire thing. And when he loses – he will lose to either one of us he fights — his whole schtick and all the women will be like, ‘Yeah!’ and his whole schtick goes out the window.’
