Bryce Hall recently beat Gee Perez at BKFC 48 in Albuquerque, Nex Mexico. While the fight itself made plenty of headlines thanks to the TikTok star’s strong performance and underdog victory, also making the headlines was Hall’s decision to walk out at the fight to Andrew Tate’s theme song. The song, which is a remix of Indila’s Tourner Dans Le Vide, is often used alongside clips from Andrew Tate’s livestreams and videos to promote his brand and messages across a variety of social media platforms. Tate is a controversial figure online because of his messaging and the recent incarceration saga in Romania.
Hall is a known fan of Andrew Tate, or at least it appears this way to his fans and to critics online. Hall has previously made videos where he emulated Tate’s iconic style and persona. Clearly, the influencer has respect for Tate, as evident by his decision to pay tribute to the British-American former kickboxing champion during his walk in.
Despite Hall promising to take down Perez via a knockout in the second round, the match was much closer in the end. It was difficult for Perez to keep up with the barrage of attacks from Hall, and it appeared that the veteran was injured in his arm. The forearm injury concern meant that the fighter withdrew from participating in the third round and the victory was handed to Bryce Hall. The size difference was also a factor at play in the fight, with Perez struggling despite putting on 30 lbs.
Hall said, "I just have to finalise this speech by saying 'I am a fighter, I am a boxer. I always claimed to be a f***ing fighter!"
Bryce Hall facing criticism for Andrew Tate ass ociation
Just associating with Andrew Tate by referencing his music has caused some controversy online. This was to be expected, given Tate’s infamy and reputation. The former kickboxing champion was recently released from prison in Romania following charges of human trafficking, sexual violence and fraud.
Tate went viral online after promoting his masculine and misogynistic rhetoric last year. The British-American is known to flaunt his wealth and encourage a domineering treatment of women, which has led to him being criticised by a variety of people and organisations.
Andrew and his brother Tristan were charged in Romania with many serious counts such as human trafficking and sexual violence. Romanian authorities allege that the brothers committed romance fraud and set up a ring of online cam shows with defrauded women who were made to fear for their lives and livelihoods. The authorities also seized 11 cars, including a $2.9 million Bugatti Chiron, from the Tates’ residence. However, in the latest update, Andrew Tate has been dropped of the charges after he proved non-guilty.
