Misfits’ top fighter, Chase DeMoor, recently disclosed that his upcoming opponent, Andrew Tate, insisted on including a weight clause before their highly anticipated match. Tate, a 39-year-old renowned kickboxer, is transitioning into professional boxing and is scheduled to face DeMoor, the reigning heavyweight champion, on December 20. Despite facing injuries towards the end of his kickboxing career, Tate’s comeback will be in the boxing ring under the Misfits banner.
The tension between the two fighters escalated during a press conference in Dubai, where Tate made a grand entrance by arriving on a boat with his entourage. DeMoor, initially left waiting due to Tate’s late arrival, took the opportunity to criticize his opponent for imposing a weight clause in their contract. This revelation led to a heated exchange between the two, with DeMoor accusing Tate of being fearful and controlling the fight terms.
In a similar vein, heavyweight champions Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul are gearing up for a match in Miami on December 19. The fight, available for streaming on Netflix, has garnered significant attention, with Joshua facing restrictions on his weight for the upcoming bout against Paul.
As the showdown approaches, Tate, typically a light-heavyweight in kickboxing, is mirroring Jake Paul’s move to heavyweight in his transition to boxing, much to DeMoor’s dismay. Both fighters are intensively preparing for the fight, with Tate emphasizing his seriousness and readiness, while DeMoor continues to criticize his opponent’s tactics and mindset.
The anticipated clash between Tate and DeMoor is set to take place on December 20 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium. Fans can catch the action live on Rumble Premium, with a monthly subscription available for £7.48 ($9.99). The fight timings and undercard details are yet to be confirmed, adding to the excitement and anticipation surrounding this high-profile event.
