Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor has disclosed that his rival Andrew Tate demanded a weight clause be included in their upcoming match. Tate, aged 39, is transitioning from kickboxing to professional boxing and will face DeMoor on December 20. Known for his controversial persona, Tate has faced setbacks due to injuries in his kickboxing career, prompting his move to a new challenge in the boxing ring.
DeMoor, the reigning heavyweight champion, is expected to provide a formidable test for Tate, who made a grand entrance at a press conference in Dubai. Despite a brief delay, both fighters engaged in a heated exchange, with DeMoor expressing his displeasure at the weight clause imposed by Tate in their contracts.
The verbal sparring continued as Tate seemed surprised by the weight limit, leading to a back-and-forth exchange between the two fighters. While the official weight limit remains undisclosed, the match’s anticipation mirrors the upcoming showdown between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua. Joshua, a former heavyweight champion, faces restrictions on his weight for the fight against Paul, who is moving up in weight class for the bout.
Tate, mirroring Paul’s weight class transition, is focused on a serious approach to the match, emphasizing his dedication and readiness for the fight night. In contrast, DeMoor remains critical of Tate’s tactics and continues to challenge his opponent verbally, highlighting the intensity leading up to the anticipated showdown in Dubai.
The much-anticipated clash between Tate and DeMoor is scheduled for December 20 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium. Fans can catch the live action on Rumble Premium, with subscription options available for access to the event broadcast. Fight timings are subject to change, with the main card expected to commence around 6pm UK time.
