Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor has disclosed that his opponent Andrew Tate insisted on including a weight clause in their upcoming fight agreement. Tate, aged 39, is preparing for his professional boxing debut against DeMoor on December 20. Previously a renowned kickboxer and champion, Tate shifted his focus to Misfits following injuries that hindered his kickboxing career.
DeMoor, the reigning heavyweight champion, is anticipated to pose a formidable challenge to Tate, who recently made a grand entrance via boat at a press conference in Dubai, where tensions flared between the two fighters. DeMoor expressed frustration at the weight clause imposed by Tate, claiming it was against his preferences. The verbal exchange escalated as they debated the contract terms, with DeMoor criticizing the weight limit set by Tate.
In a similar vein, Jake Paul is gearing up for a heavyweight clash against Anthony Joshua in Miami on December 19, set to be streamed live on Netflix. Joshua, a former two-time heavyweight champion, faces weight restrictions for his upcoming fight, ensuring he does not exceed 245lb. On the other hand, Tate, known for his career at light-heavyweight in kickboxing, is mirroring Paul’s move to a higher weight class, intensifying the anticipation for their upcoming bout.
The showdown between Tate and DeMoor is scheduled for December 20 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium. Fans can catch the action live on Rumble Premium, with a monthly subscription priced at £7.48 ($9.99). As the fighters engage in pre-fight banter and preparations, the stage is set for an enthralling battle between these two formidable competitors.
