Andrew Tate is showing dedication to his upcoming Misfits Boxing debut as he was spotted with a noticeable black eye. The former kickboxing world champion is gearing up to face actor-turned-boxer Chase DeMoor in Dubai on December 20 as the main event of Misfits 23. Tate’s last match in kickboxing was five years ago when he defeated Cosmin Lingurar.
Facing a challenging debut, Tate, 38, is set to take on the reigning heavyweight champion under the Misfits banner, DeMoor. DeMoor clinched the heavyweight title last year with a victory over KELZ and successfully defended it earlier this year against Tank Tolman and Natan Marcon.
DeMoor, who most recently drew with Efrain Carranza Gonzalez, is prepping for his sixth fight this year, anticipating a tough battle against Tate. The American boxer has been training rigorously with notable UFC veterans, as revealed during an interview with iFL TV where Tate displayed his black eye from intense sparring sessions.
Tate, known as a social media figure, expressed his readiness for the match despite his financial stability, emphasizing the importance of seizing opportunities and pursuing passions like boxing. He acknowledged the risks and rewards that come with challenging oneself and highlighted his humble beginnings and success in accumulating wealth.
Excited about the upcoming fight, Tate acknowledged DeMoor’s stature as the champion and a formidable opponent, fueling his motivation to surprise critics with a triumphant comeback. The scheduled match between Tate and DeMoor is set for December 20 at the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai, with specific fight times yet to be confirmed but anticipated to begin around 6pm UK time.
The main event is expected to feature Tate entering the ring first around 9pm UK time, aiming to shock the world with his performance. Viewers can look forward to an intense showdown between the two fighters, with broadcast details yet to be announced.
