He kept his hands down most of the time and relied on quick jabs and an overhand right to land significant strikes. In an interview, his brother Tristan Tate states, “Andrew was a better kickboxer. Andrew’s fight style, which I did try to learn, I really did my best. It was very much don’t get hit and knock him out with your insane power.”
His kickboxing career spanned a period of ten years. He started in 2006 and finished in 2016 after a TKO loss. However, he did return in 2020 to compete three more times in Romania.
