Andrew Tate is gearing up for his debut in Misfits Boxing, where he will face off against the promotion’s heavyweight champion, Chase DeMoor. Tate, aged 38, brings experience from a successful kickboxing career but had to retire early due to eye injuries affecting his final fights.
The influencer had hinted at transitioning to boxing, with Darren Till and Roy Jones Jr initially considered as potential opponents. However, the matchup was revealed to be with the current heavyweight champion, DeMoor, who recently defended his title against Natan Marcon.
While Till may have missed the chance to fight Tate, the former UFC title challenger is likely to be featured on the undercard, although his opponent has yet to be confirmed. The event, titled Misfits Mania, is set to take place on December 20 at the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai. The main card is expected to start around 6pm UK time, with Tate likely making his ring entrance at 9pm UK time, which translates to 1am on Sunday in Dubai.
Details about the broadcast of the fight have not been disclosed, but it is confirmed that the event will not be shown on DAZN as in previous Misfits shows. The fight will likely be on pay-per-view, requiring fans to pay to watch the event.
The full fight card, including the matchup between Andrew Tate and Chase DeMoor, along with Darren Till’s opponent, will be announced closer to the event. Tate expressed his confidence and ambition for the bout, emphasizing his impact on the sports entertainment industry and his role in the organization’s growth.
