Controversial British-American kickboxer Andrew Tate who refused an open wrestling challenge from former UFC Champ Sean Strickland, recently spoke about why he didn’t fight Strickland. Strickland, who viewed Tate as a charlatan, had accused the kickboxer of exploiting his fans for financial gains.

What did Andrew Tate say about the fight with Sean Strickland?
Andrew Tate dismissed the challenge, citing a “bigger fight” as the reason. However, he didn’t elaborate on his reasons.
Now in a YouTube video, Tate has opened up on the challenge saying that he wasn’t interested in fighting him and he was busy with other things in life, which were equally important just like his in-ring fights. “I don’t know, man. Everyone’s trying to lure me into fighting. Sure, I could spar. I could fight and make anywhere from $10 to $20 million. But it’s not worth my time, even though that’s the kind of money that could be generated. I don’t think they understand. If they really knew the life I live or the things I’ve said, they’d realize I’m already fighting,” he explained.
Tate might be referring to the rape trial against him in Romania, a human trafficking case, and allegations of sexually exploiting women. His brother is also implicated in the rape trial along with him. In December 2022, he was arrested along with his brother and was under house arrest for seven months.
