BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Andrew Tate frequently engages in self-praise and showcases his combat abilities on X platform. He frequently highlights his expertise as an Aikido master.
During a recent conversation with David Sutcliff, Tate confidently stated his belief that he could effectively defend himself against 10 individuals wielding knives.
Moreover, Tate takes pride in his accomplished kickboxing career. He maintains an active online presence by sharing his training sessions, despite retiring from the sport.
Tate continuously reinforces his reputation as a dominant force in the ring, capable of swiftly knocking out his opponents. It's worth noting, however, that a person on X recently raised doubts regarding the validity of his kickboxing record.
Andrew Tate asserts he can defeat 10 men alone
In a recent video shared by user Tate News, the influencer was heard claiming that if he were to walk down the street and 10 men were to confront him with knives, he would feel intimidated.
However, Tate mentioned that around 20% of him would feel a sense of anticipation, considering it a memorable experience.
Sutcliffe asked whether he truly believed he could handle 10 men armed with knives. Tate responded with, "Yes, I do."
Tate acknowledged that this belief might be seen as delusional, but he saw it as a way to maximize his chances of success. Sutcliffe countered by suggesting that running away would likely provide the best chance of winning.
In response, Tate clarified that in such a situation, he would indeed choose to run away. However, he added that if he were forced to engage in a fight, he would be most effective if he genuinely thought he could win.
Therefore, he stated his willingness to engage in self-delusion if necessary, even expressing it in a manner that would convince at least seven of the 10 men to believe him. According to Tate, the crucial aspect of this self-delusion was that it influenced others to believe his words as well.
Tate said, "If I were walking down the street and 10 men were to pull knives on me, I'd be intimidated, but 20% of me would go, this is going to be, this we want to remember."
"That's delusional. That's delusional. Yeah, but it gives me a best chance of possibly winning. Of course I would run away in that scenario, but if I had to fight them, I believe I'd be the most capable if I believed I could win," he further said.
He added, "So for that reason, if I have to self-delude, then I will self-delude."
"And I will say it in a way where at least seven of them believe me. And that's the most important part about all of this self-delusion is that a lot of other people start to believe what you say," he concluded.
Is Andrew Tate lying about his kickboxing record?
In a recent tweet, a user known as Agent of the Matrix shared a video clip featuring Duke the Don, who was criticizing Tate for selecting young and inexperienced opponents to face in the kickboxing ring.
The video portrayed Duke watching a presentation discussing kickboxing records. Upon referring to Tate's records, Duke expressed his disbelief, commenting on the fact that Tate had participated in more than 80 fights, even though the year was 2020.
Pausing the video, Duke was visibly perplexed by the statistics displayed on the screen. He exclaimed that only three years had passed since that time and questioned how Tate, at 33, could have been fighting against a 24-year-old opponent.
Duke remarked that it was evident why Tate was often referred to as a journeyman. He humorously portrayed himself as the enthusiastic observer, bewildered by the notion that the opponents Tate was facing were these inexperienced newcomers.
Duke playfully contrasted this with his earlier perspective of reality, implying that the boxing world seemed like a "matrix" of deception.
He highlighted the irony of Tate, at 33, competing against rookies and boasting about being a champion while essentially defeating opponents with far less experience.
The presenter in the video that Duke was watching went on to state that Tate's opponent in the specific fight being reviewed had only two or three fights under their belt, a stark contrast to Tate's extensive record of over 80 fights.
Duke said, "I mean for this guy to have more that 80 fights, I mean this is 2020. Wait a minute this is only three years ago. You mean you were 33 years old at this time fighting a 24 year old oh what the f**k is this."
Duke further stated, "Of course you're the journeyman bro. I'll be the guy in the delight who's ready to fight these, these are your opponenets? Oh hell no, this is the matrix right here, my whole life has been a lie."
He continued, "My dude, I hear fighting rookies you were actually, says it right here. You are 33 yeasr old. You're fighting rookies bro, talking about you being a champion. You beating up babies."
Andrew Tate's trolls tell him to not be 'feminine'
