Andrew Tate
Emory Andrew Tate III is a mixed-race child who was born on December 1st, 1986, at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. His mother was a catering assistant, while his father, Emory Tate, was an international master in chess. Tristan is a brother of his. He was raised in Goshen, Indiana, and Chicago, Illinois. His mother brought both of his brothers to England following his parents' divorce. Tate was brought up in a Christian home. He began playing chess at the age of five and participated in youth tournaments.
In order to support himself, Tate began training in martial arts, including boxing, in 2005. He also worked in TV advertising. The International Sport Kickboxing Association (ISKA) ranked Tate as the seventh-best light heavyweight kickboxer in Britain in November 2008. In 2009, when he won the British ISKA Full Contact Cruiserweight Championship in Derby, he won his first championship and rose to the top of the European rankings. Tate's kickboxing nick name was "King Cobra" .
Tate lost to Jean-Luc Benoit by decision the first time around, then in their rematch in 2011, Tate defeated Benoit by knockout to win his first ISKA world title. Tate was defeated by Franci Graj in the Enfusion championship match in 2012. He was the second-best light-heavyweight kickboxer in the world before to his defeat. Tate became the world champion in two weight classes in 2013 after defeating Vincent Petitjean in a 12-round contest for his second ISKA world title.
Tate first gained widespread recognition in 2016 when he made an appearance in the seventeenth season of the British reality series Big Brother. He received criticism for his homophobic and racist tweets while he was a guest on the program. After six days, the producers fired him, citing a film that purportedly showed him using a belt to strike a woman. The acts in the film were consensual, according to Tate and the woman, who claimed to be friends. Later, Vice revealed that the removal was due to an ongoing police investigation, which was concluded in 2019 with no charges brought.
Tate relocated to Romania in 2017 from the UK. He claimed that he relocated to Romania because it would be less likely for him to be charged with rape there because Romanian police would ask victims of rape to provide "evidence" or "CCTV proof," whereas in the West, during the MeToo movement, Tate claimed that any woman "at any point in the future can destroy your life."
Tate was raised as a Christian before converting to atheism. By the beginning of 2022, he identified as a Christian once more and claimed to give the Romanian Orthodox Church £16,000 each month. In October 2022, after a video of him praying at a mosque in Dubai went viral, Tate declared on his Gettr account that he had become a Islam.
