The BBC later reported from a DAZN source that such a deal was not on the table.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple sources have indicated to Bloody Elbow that the former is more likely, and it seems that <a href=\"http:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/tag\/misfits-boxing\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Misfits Boxing<\/a> have begun to tease an appearance this afternoon. The promotion shared a graphic of their pound-for-pound top ten, which is topped by <a href=\"http:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/tag\/darren-till\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Darren Till<\/a>, with Tate at number ten.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Tate added to Misfits Boxing top ten rankings<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon, Misfits Boxing released a brand new \u2018pound for pound top ten\u2019 following Saturday night\u2019s pay-per-view event in Manchester. After knocking out <a href=\"http:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/tag\/luke-rockhold\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Luke Rockhold<\/a>, Darren Till cemented his spot ahead of <a href=\"http:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/tag\/ksi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">KSI<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/tag\/tommy-fury\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tommy Fury<\/a> at number one.<\/p>\n<p>However, the most interesting addition to the list came right at the bottom as Andrew Tate, a non-bouter by Misfits terms, came in at number ten. As a former kickboxing world champion and MMA fighter who defeated UFC-calibre opposition, he is likely above many of the celebrity boxers in the promotion.<\/p>\n<p>However, he has yet to test himself in the Misfits Boxing ring and hasn\u2019t boxed since his youth. His last kickboxing bout was in 2020, at which point he was more or less finished after suffering eye issues during his later kickboxing days.<\/p>\n<p>Conflicting reports emerge about Andrew Tate\u2019s Misfits Boxing future<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/boxing\/breaking-news\/article\/andrew-tate-in-advanced-talks-to-fight-for-misfits-boxing-amid-mounting-charges-214600207.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">According to Helwani\u2019s report<\/a>, the official announcement of a fight and opponent was due as early as Saturday\u2019s event, although that never came to pass. Till teased that he might face Till, but noted that it may not be a fair matchup during the post-fight press conference.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2204071219-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Andrew Tate wearing sunglasses attends a UFC event\" class=\"wp-image-242893\" \/>Photo by Ian Maule\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>However, hours later a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/boxing\/articles\/ckgy6gj6ky1o\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DAZN source told BBC<\/a> that the fight was unlikely, with the report saying \u201cthat no talks are taking place and no announcement is planned for this weekend.\u201d Ultimately, no announcement was made.<\/p>\n<p>Tate is currently\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/ckg41g1140po\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">knee-deep in legal issues<\/a>, but\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/2025\/05\/11\/andrew-tate-takes-on-50-opponents-in-one-sparring-session-that-included-ex-ufc-star\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">has been training regularly<\/a>\u00a0since being allowed to leave Romania back in February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrew Tate could be within touching distance of a ring return after being named in the Misfits Boxing&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":114934,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[11623,703,49,48,3136,1855,10988,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-114933","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-andrew-tate","9":"tag-boxing","10":"tag-ca","11":"tag-canada","12":"tag-darren-till","13":"tag-heavyweight","14":"tag-misfits-boxing","15":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114933","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114933"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114933\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
