Andrew Tate is set to make his boxing debut this year
Andrew Tate is set to take on Chase DeMoor in his boxing debut this Christmas.
Tate was a world champion in kickboxing before emerging as one of the most controversial influencers on social media. And Mirror Fighting understands he will take on actor-turned-boxer DeMoor in Dubai on December 20 as the headline act of Misfits 23.
DeMoor holds the Misfits heavyweight title and has already fought five times this year, most recently drawing against Efrain Carranza Gonzalez last month. It is understood the final Misfits card of the year will also feature Darren Till who has long been linked with his own fight against Tate.
Tate was a four-time world champion in kickboxing, winning his last title 12 years ago. He retired with a record of 76-9, winning 32 of his fights by knockout before retiring following his final fight in 2020. DeMoor has won eight of his 14 boxing fights and is unbeaten in two years. His clash with Tate is set to take place at the Coca Cola Arena which also hosted Floyd Mayweather Jr’s exhibition with Deji in 2022.

Misfits is the brainchild of social media star KSI and former music producer Mams Taylor who work alongside boxing promoter Kalle Sauerland. It was reported in August that Tate would make his boxing debut on Misfits before the end of the year but no official announcement has yet been made. Taylor earlier took to social media to say: Keep December 20 free whatever you do. The Fight Before Christmas!”
Tate and Till traded insults on social media following the latter’s second-round demolition of fellow former UFC star Luke Rockhold two months ago. Till has also called out former boxing world champion Carl Froch who teased a return to the ring last week when he posted a picture of himself back in the gym alongside long-time coach Rob McCracken.
Professional boxer David Lopez has also revealed he will feature on the card having signed with Misfits ahead of his eighth fight in the paid ranks.
Tate, who once claimed to the most Googled term in the world, has risen to notoriety with his views on women and has become a role model for teenage boys. Last month, the 38-year-old, who was raised in Luton but lives in Romania, learned he will face no criminal charges over allegations made by four women who are suing him in a High Court civil case.
The women have accused Tate of sexual violence, including grabbing one by the throat on several occasions in 2015, assaulting her with a belt and pointing a gun at her face.
