Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor has exposed that his opponent, Andrew Tate, insisted on including a weight clause in their upcoming showdown. Tate, aged 39, is transitioning to professional boxing on December 20 against the actor-turned-boxer after a successful kickboxing career marred by injuries towards the end.
The news of Tate’s return to action in boxing under Misfits stirred anticipation, especially as he faces the reigning heavyweight champion, DeMoor. Their tense encounter at a press conference in Dubai unveiled underlying tensions, with DeMoor initially left waiting for Tate, who arrived dramatically via boat.
Meanwhile, Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul are gearing up for a heavyweight clash in Miami on December 19. Fans can catch the fight live on Netflix through Sky’s £15 Essential TV bundle, offering a prime viewing experience.
DeMoor publicly disclosed the insertion of a weight clause in their contracts, sparking a heated exchange with Tate during the press conference. While details of the weight limit remain undisclosed, the situation mirrors the upcoming Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight, where weight restrictions have been established.
In a surprising turn, Anthony Joshua has been mandated to weigh under 245lb for his upcoming fight, showcasing his dedication to meet the stipulation. Tate, mirroring Paul’s weight transition, remains focused on his preparation for the fight, emphasizing his serious approach to the sport.
DeMoor continued to challenge Tate, accusing him of fear and asserting his readiness for the battle ahead. The much-anticipated showdown between Tate and DeMoor is set to take place at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium on December 20, with live coverage available on Rumble Premium for a subscription fee of £7.48 ($9.99) per month.
