Andrew Tate, a controversial figure on social media, used to be a kickboxer and has also tried his hand at MMA. Although he has never fought under the Queensberry Rules, he has a background in combat sports.
Over the weekend, Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia finally faced each other in the boxing ring. As many had anticipated, Davis won the match after delivering a smooth liver shot in the seventh round, causing Garcia to experience his first-ever defeat.
Following Garcia’s loss, social media users began mocking him, prompting Tate to take to Twitter and condemn anyone who ridiculed the 24-year-old Californian for his defeat.
According to Tate, individuals who have never entered the squared circle have no right to mock professional fighters, whom he compared to modern-day gladiators.
He labeled those who mocked Garcia as cowards and the worst type of people, and vowed to block anyone who does so on Twitter.
“Any Twitter account I see mocking Ryan Garcia is getting blocked,” Tate tweeted. “Unless you’ve been in the ring yourself, you are not qualified to say a WORD. Always a coward who has so much to say from outside the gladiator pit. The worst types of people.”
