Andrew Tate is one of the most controversial influencers on social media and has now signed up to make his boxing debut with Misfits
Andrew Tate is set to take on Chase DeMoor in his boxing debut this Christmas.
Tate was a world champion in kickboxing before emerging as one of the most controversial influencers on social media. And Mirror Fighting understands he will take on actor-turned-boxer DeMoor in Dubai on December 20 as the headline act of Misfits 23.
DeMoor holds the Misfits heavyweight title and has already fought five times this year, most recently drawing against Efrain Carranza Gonzalez last month. It is understood the final Misfits card of the year will also feature Darren Till who has long been linked with his own fight against Tate.
Tate was a four-time world champion in kickboxing, winning his last title 12 years ago. He retired with a record of 76-9, winning 32 of his fights by knockout before retiring following his final fight in 2020. DeMoor has won eight of his 14 boxing fights and is unbeaten in two years. His clash with Tate is set to take place at the Coca Cola Arena which also hosted Floyd Mayweather Jr’s exhibition with Deji in 2022.

Last month, Tate learned he will face no criminal charges over allegations made by four women who are suing him in a High Court civil case. The women have accused Tate of sexual violence, including grabbing one by the throat on several occasions in 2015, assaulting her with a belt and pointing a gun at her face.
Mr Tate’s barristers told an earlier court hearing that there was “total denial of wrongdoing”. And the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the legal test to bring criminal charges had not been met. A spokesman said: “We undertook a further review of a case file in relation to allegations of assault and rape between 2013 and 2015.
“Following careful consideration of the evidence provided by Hertfordshire Constabulary, we concluded that our legal test for prosecution was not met, and that no further action should be taken. “We have informed all parties of our decision and offered to meet with the complainants to explain our reasoning in more detail.”
Mr Tate’s UK solicitor Andrew Ford welcomed the decision. He said: “Despite much external pressure the evidence speaks for itself in this case and the Crown Prosecution Service have rightly confirmed the evidence is inadequate to provide any realistic prospect of conviction.
“The reason the CPS made this decision will become obvious when the evidence is played out during the civil proceedings. We are glad that this is yet another example of a potential criminal case against Andrew Tate falling by the wayside.”
The women brought a civil case against Tate at the High Court after the Crown Prosecution Service originally decided not to prosecute in 2019. Three of the British accusers were the subject of an investigation by Hertfordshire Constabulary, which was closed that year.
