He wrote: “This year people are trying to are trying to test me fr (for real). WHAT THE ACTUAL F*** IS GOING ON? This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Let’s make ANDREW TATE THE CEO OF MISFITS?!? ARE YOU F***ING SERIOUS?”KSI added: “Legit cba,” and took a brutal swipe at Taylor, posting: “F*** Mams. Bro has been focused on Misfits rather than managing me lol. And you decide to do this s***.” Tate recently hit back at KSI's social media outburst, admitting that he would be willing to give the YouTuber-turned-boxer the chance to settle their feud in the ring.Watch Jake vs Joshua live on Netflix for freeThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

The Misfits supremo told the Sun: “The recovery just depends, we’ll see how it goes. We’ve been given a wide range of how long it could take. It could take a couple of months, it could take up to six months. But he’s a healthy, young, fit young man and his recovery time should be quicker than most.”He added: “I think if the challenge is right and it excites him and it excites the fans then he will want to fight. But, it would have to be the right fight. It’s got to be a big fight. He said these words, ‘Look, one thing we’ve forgotten is I’m a big-game hunter. I don’t want to just fight for the sake of fighting, I want to make a spectacle.'”When is Andrew Tate vs Chase DeMoor?The blockbuster showdown between the pair will take place on Saturday, December 20 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium in Dubai.
