Tristan Tate reveals he and Andrew Tate are rivals
During a recent conversation with Morgan, Tristan was questioned about any conflicts with his brother Andrew. Tristan responded, "We never argue. We used to physically fight all the time, we’re both professional athletes. So we used to beat each other up in the ring for sparring.”
Tristan went on to acknowledge that Andrew outshines him in their bouts, confessing that his brother is the superior fighter, and even recounted a training incident where Andrew broke his nose.
Despite the competitive aspect of their relationship, Tristan emphasized that their rivalry serves as mutual inspiration for improvement.
He clarified, "Andrew would win. I was good. I was the European champion at my peak but Andrew was built for… You see my broken nose?"
"It leans this way… First time it was broken by him and it got weaker after that and I had it broken twice subsequently in kickboxing matches," he revealed.
"But yeah, we are rivals in the way that we inspire each other to work better, to be better. But not rivals in any way that his success would upset me or my success would upset him,” Tristan added.
