Andrew Tate is gearing up for his Misfits Boxing debut with a visible black eye, showing his commitment to the upcoming match. The former kickboxing world champion is set to face off against actor-turned-boxer Chase DeMoor in Dubai on December 20 in the headline event of Misfits 23. Tate’s last appearance in the kickboxing ring was five years ago when he defeated Cosmin Lingurar.
At 38 years old, Tate faces a challenging debut as he is slated to 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 on the AnEsonGib vs Slim Albaher undercard. The American successfully defended his title earlier this year against Tank Tolman and again in August against Natan Marcon.
DeMoor’s most recent fight ended in a draw with Efrain Carranza Gonzalez in September. With his sixth fight of the year approaching, DeMoor is gearing up for a tough challenge against Tate. Tate, in preparation for the match, mentioned training with notable UFC veterans, showcasing his dedication to the sport.
Tate acknowledged sustaining a black eye during sparring sessions with high-level partners, emphasizing the importance of pushing oneself to the limit in training. Despite his financial stability, Tate expressed his passion for the sport and the thrill of stepping back into the fighting arena.
Looking forward to facing DeMoor in the ring, Tate acknowledged the heavyweight champion’s attributes and expressed excitement for the upcoming bout. The highly anticipated fight is scheduled for December 20 at the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai, with official fight times yet to be confirmed.
Fans can expect Tate to make his entrance before the main event around 9pm UK time, with the fight set to take place at 1am on Sunday in Dubai. Details about the event’s official broadcasting have not been disclosed, but the fight promises to be an exciting showdown between the two talented fighters.
