Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor has disclosed that his rival, Andrew Tate, insisted on including a weight clause before their upcoming showdown. Tate, a 39-year-old professional boxer making his debut on December 20, was a renowned kickboxer and former champion hampered by injuries towards the end of his career.
Following speculation about his return to action, Tate opted to switch to boxing under Misfits instead of kickboxing. DeMoor, the reigning heavyweight champion, poses a formidable challenge for Tate. The tension between the two escalated during a heated press conference in Dubai as they prepared for their upcoming bout.
DeMoor was left waiting briefly as Tate arrived in an extravagant manner, arriving by boat with his entourage. The confrontation between the two fighters intensified when DeMoor revealed that Tate had imposed a weight limit clause in their contracts, causing friction between them.
The dispute over the weight clause led to a heated exchange during the press conference, with DeMoor accusing Tate of being fearful and insisting that the terms were not what he agreed to. The verbal sparring continued as both fighters challenged each other’s motivations and intentions leading up to the fight.
The official weight limit for the Tate-DeMoor bout is yet to be confirmed, mirroring the upcoming fight between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua. Joshua, a former heavyweight champion, faces restrictions on his weight for his upcoming match, emphasizing the significance of weight limits in boxing.
As the fight date approaches, both Tate and DeMoor are intensifying their preparations and rhetoric, emphasizing their dedication to the sport. The highly-anticipated showdown between the two fighters is scheduled for December 20 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium, promising an evening of intense competition for fans.
