Andrew Tate suffered a bruising defeat in his professional boxing debut last night, losing to Chase DeMoor at Misfits Mania in Dubai. <\/p>\n

The 39-year-old self-proclaimed misogynist was left bloodied after six rounds, with cuts visible around his eyes as the American reality television star retained his Misfits heavyweight title.<\/p>\n

The judges delivered scorecards of 57-57, 58-56 and 58-56, handing DeMoor a clear victory over the former kickboxer.<\/p>\n

Tate’s return to combat sports after a five-year absence ended in humiliation, with the controversial influencer appearing deflated as he exited the ring at the Dubai Duty Tennis Stadium.<\/p>\n

Before the bout, Tate had declared there were “levels” to fighting and promised to put DeMoor to sleep in the ring.<\/p>\n

DeMoor, 29, held significant physical advantages, standing as the larger man and outweighing his opponent by approximately 20 kilograms. <\/p>\n

The former Netflix Too Hot To Handle star was also fighting his seventh contest of 2024.<\/p>\n

While Tate managed to connect with a solid right hand early in the opening round, DeMoor absorbed the blow without difficulty. <\/p>\n

The American remained composed, stalking his opponent methodically.<\/p>\n

By the third round, Tate appeared exhausted, with DeMoor consistently leaning on him and controlling the clinches throughout the remainder of the contest.<\/p>\n

The quality of the contest drew sharp criticism from combat sports professionals worldwide.<\/p>\n

Former UFC champion Michael Bisping offered a blunt assessment on X, writing: “God, they both suck.” <\/p>\n

He followed up by adding: “This is hilariously bad.”<\/p>\n

Japanese MMA fighter Kazuo ‘Grabaka Hitman’ Misaki compared the bout unfavourably to amateur events, stating it “genuinely looks like a fight from rough ‘n’ rowdy”.<\/p>\n

Northern Irish professional MMA competitor Leah McCourt delivered her own verdict during the action: “This fight is going exactly like I knew… Not a great fight.”<\/p>\n

Speaking after the defeat, Tate reflected on the challenge he had undertaken. <\/p>\n

He said: “10 years out, 40 years old. I gave it my all, but he’s tough.”<\/p>\n

Tate added that he would need to review footage before deciding whether to continue fighting.<\/p>\n

The British-born American indicated he may permanently retire from combat sports, acknowledging that age had caught up with him. <\/p>\n

He maintained he was not disappointed, having sought a “real challenge” rather than an easy opponent.<\/p>\n

Tate’s previous ring appearance was a kickboxing victory in Romania in December 2020, where he defeated Cosmin Lugarar. <\/p>\n

His kickboxing record stands at 76 wins, nine defeats and one draw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrew Tate suffered a bruising defeat in his professional boxing debut last night, losing to Chase DeMoor at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":359697,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,44,12384,457,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-359696","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-sgg","13":"tag-sport","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359696","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=359696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359696\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/359697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=359696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=359696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=359696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
