Andrew Tate is gearing up for his debut in Misfits Boxing with a visible black eye, indicating his serious preparation for the upcoming match. The former kickboxing world champion is scheduled to face actor-turned-boxer Chase DeMoor in Dubai on December 20 as the main attraction of Misfits 23. Tate’s last appearance in the kickboxing arena 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 claimed the heavyweight title last year after defeating KELZ on the AnEsonGib vs Slim Albaher undercard. Despite successful title defenses earlier this year, DeMoor faced a draw in his last bout with Efrain Carranza Gonzalez in September.
In preparation for the fight, Tate has been training rigorously with prominent UFC figures, as revealed in a recent interview. He acknowledged sustaining a black eye during sparring sessions with top-level competitors. Tate emphasized the importance of pushing oneself to excel and expressed confidence in his training regimen for the upcoming match.
With his wealth accumulated over the years, Tate’s decision to step back into the ring has surprised many in the boxing community. He shared his perspective on taking risks and pursuing one’s passions, highlighting the drive to challenge oneself and avoid regrets in life.
Anticipating the clash with DeMoor, Tate acknowledged the latter’s size advantage and active fighting record, expressing excitement about the challenge. Despite being the underdog on paper, Tate aims to shock the world with his performance in the upcoming match.
The highly-anticipated fight between Tate and DeMoor is set for December 20 at the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai, with official fight times yet to be confirmed. The main event is expected to commence around 9pm UK time, subject to change depending on the undercard duration. Broadcasting details for the event are yet to be announced.
