Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor has disclosed that his rival Andrew Tate demanded a weight clause be included in their upcoming showdown agreement. Tate, aged 39, is preparing for his first professional boxing match on December 20 against DeMoor, who is currently the reigning heavyweight champion.
Formerly known for his success as a kickboxer, Tate faced setbacks due to injuries towards the end of his kickboxing career. Despite speculations about a potential comeback, Tate’s return to combat sports will now be in the boxing ring under the Misfits banner. DeMoor, known as the reigning heavyweight king, poses a formidable challenge for Tate in their upcoming match, which is drawing closer as both fighters engaged in a heated press conference in Dubai.
During the press event, DeMoor experienced a brief delay as Tate initially failed to show up but later made a grand entrance on a boat accompanied by his entourage. The tension between the two fighters escalated when DeMoor revealed that Tate had imposed a 40lb weight limit clause in their contracts without his consent, leading to a verbal exchange between the two competitors.
Meanwhile, in another high-profile boxing event, Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul are gearing up for a heavyweight clash scheduled for December 19 in Miami. The fight will be broadcast live on Netflix, available for free to fans through Sky’s £15 Essential TV bundle, offering the “lowest ever price” for Sky TV.
As the anticipation builds for the Tate-DeMoor showdown, the weight clause controversy continues to be a focal point. While the official weight limit remains undisclosed, parallels are drawn to the upcoming Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight, where weight restrictions are being enforced to ensure a fair competition.
Both fighters, DeMoor and Tate, are intensifying their training and mental preparation for the impending match. Tate, emphasizing his dedication to boxing over influencer status, expressed readiness for the challenge, while DeMoor persistently criticized Tate and questioned his resolve to face him in the ring.
The highly-anticipated battle between Tate and DeMoor is scheduled to take place at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium on December 20. Fans can watch the event live on Rumble Premium, with a monthly subscription fee of £7.48 ($9.99) to access the complete fight card.
