Andrew Tate is showing dedication to his upcoming Misfits Boxing debut as he was spotted with a black eye. The former kickboxing world champion is set to face actor-turned-boxer Chase DeMoor in Dubai on December 20 as the headline event of Misfits 23. Tate’s last kickboxing match was five years ago when he defeated Cosmin Lingurar.
Facing a tough challenge on his debut, 38-year-old Tate will go up against the reigning heavyweight champion under the Misfits banner, DeMoor. DeMoor clinched the heavyweight title last year with a points victory over KELZ and successfully defended it against Tank Tolman and Natan Marcon this year.
DeMoor’s recent bout ended in a draw, setting the stage for a formidable match against Tate. The American boxer, who has fought five times this year, is gearing up for a tough fight. Tate, in an interview with iFL TV, revealed his intense training regimen with high-profile UFC legends, showcasing his commitment ahead of the fight.
With a successful career and financial stability, Tate’s decision to return to the ring stems from a desire to challenge himself. He emphasized the importance of seizing opportunities and pursuing one’s passions. Despite facing a younger, active, and larger opponent in DeMoor, Tate is excited about the challenge and aims to surprise the world with his performance.
The highly anticipated fight between Tate and DeMoor is scheduled for December 20 at the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai. The event’s official broadcast details are yet to be disclosed, but the main card is expected to kick off around 6pm UK time. Tate is likely to enter the ring first around 9pm UK time for the main event, with the fight unfolding at 1am local time in Dubai. Timing adjustments may occur based on the undercard duration.
