Andrew Tate is showing dedication to his upcoming Misfits Boxing debut as he was spotted with a visible black eye. The former kickboxing champion is gearing up to face actor-turned-boxer Chase DeMoor in Dubai on December 20 as the headline act of Misfits 23. Tate’s last kickboxing match was five years ago when he defeated Cosmin Lingurar.
Facing a tough challenge on his debut, 38-year-old Tate will go up against the reigning heavyweight champion under the Misfits banner, Chase DeMoor. DeMoor clinched the heavyweight title last year with a points victory over KELZ, defending it successfully against Tank Tolman and Natan Marcon earlier this year.
DeMoor, who recently fought to a draw with Efrain Carranza Gonzalez, faces a significant test in his upcoming match against Tate. The American boxer has been diligently preparing, training with notable UFC fighters. Tate, in a recent interview with iFL TV, showcased a noticeable black eye from his intense training sessions.
Acknowledging his challenging sparring sessions, Tate disclosed that his left eye was affected by some of his high-caliber training partners. Despite his financial stability, many in the boxing community were surprised by Tate’s decision to return to the ring. The social media personality emphasized the importance of seizing opportunities and pursuing one’s passions, emphasizing his commitment to the sport.
Looking ahead to his match with DeMoor, Tate expressed excitement about facing the younger and active heavyweight champion. He aims to defy expectations and make a significant impact in the fight, despite his time away from the ring.
The highly anticipated fight between Tate and DeMoor is set for December 20 at the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai. While official fight times are yet to be confirmed, the main card is expected to kick off around 6pm UK time. Tate is likely to make his entrance around 9pm UK time for the main event.
