Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor has disclosed that his competitor Andrew Tate demanded a weight restriction clause before their upcoming face-off. Tate, aged 39, is gearing up for his first professional boxing match on December 20 against DeMoor, who holds the heavyweight title. While Tate is transitioning from a successful kickboxing career due to injuries, DeMoor stands as a formidable challenge for him.
The tension between the two fighters escalated during a press conference in Dubai, where Tate made a grand entrance on a boat, eventually meeting DeMoor on stage. DeMoor expressed frustration over a weight clause imposed by Tate in their contracts, leading to a heated exchange between the two regarding the stipulations of their impending bout.
In a similar vein, Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul are set to compete in a heavyweight clash in Miami on December 19, a fight that will be broadcast live on Netflix. Joshua faces a weight limit of 245lb for this fight, showcasing his dedication to meet the requirement. Conversely, Tate, known for his kickboxing career at light-heavyweight, has adopted a new approach similar to Paul’s move into a higher weight class.
The highly anticipated showdown between Tate and DeMoor is scheduled for December 20 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium. Fans can watch the event live on Rumble Premium for a subscription fee of £7.48 per month. The official fight times are yet to be confirmed, but the main card is expected to start around 6pm UK time, with the main event likely featuring Tate entering the ring first at approximately 10pm UK time.
