Henry Cejudo failed to give credit to Andrew Tate after reviewing his old kickboxing fights. Before becoming an internet sensation, Andrew Tate was a renowned kickboxer and a two-division European champion.
Tate started Kickboxing back in 2007 but left the scene very early as he found more success in his business and other ventures. However, his fans still celebrate him as a great kickboxer but it wasn’t the case with Henry Cejudo.
While watching Tate fights the former UFC double champion, pointed out that the ‘Top G’ was fighting fighters way below his level and stacking up wins. Cejudo said: “This is what kickboxing typically tends to do. They pad your record like you wouldn’t believe. He was 75-9 here, he shouldn’t be fighting a guy that is 3-2. It’s absolutely ridiculous.”
In another clip that Cejudo saw, Tate was fighting a debutant which was very shocking as Tate was 76-9. Cejudo mentioned that Tate fans should consider before blindly following his records.
“Again, for a guy who’s 76-9 and he’s going against a guy that is making his debut. This is what I’m saying man, a lot of this, a lot of you guys, you fans, you people, that follow guys and think are good fighters, this dude’s making his damn debut against a guy that has over 80 fights which is ridiculous. In other words, this is what you call a tomato can,” said Henry Cejudo.
Cejudo is right about Tate fighting comparatively weak and inexperienced fighters. However, many also suggest that Tate also has fought some tough opponents when he fought for championships.
Why did Andrew Tate decide to quit kickboxing?
Tate was a former four-time kickboxing world champion and doing great for a professional fighter but wasn’t satisfied with it at all. While talking about his Kickboxing days, Tate mentioned that he was making around $100k per fight but after taxes and other expenses, he was left with only 40 percent of that money which was significantly less. Tate wanted to make more money with much less risk.
“I’d make like $10000 a fight. You fight 2 or 3 times a year, you pay 20 percent to your manager, and you pay taxes but you are not rich. That’s actually the reason I retire,” said Tate.
On top of that, Tate also suffered an eye injury early in his career which came back when he was thirty. It seems like, Tate took the right decision as currently he’s way more successful in comparison to his kickboxing days.
