Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor has disclosed that his opponent, Andrew Tate, demanded a weight clause be included before their upcoming match. Tate, aged 39, is transitioning to professional boxing after a successful career in kickboxing. Despite some setbacks due to injuries, Tate remains a formidable contender in the ring.
The much-anticipated clash between Tate and DeMoor is scheduled for December 20, marking Tate’s debut in the boxing scene. DeMoor, the reigning heavyweight champion, is expected to present a significant challenge to Tate, who made a grand entrance at a press conference in Dubai, arriving in a boat with his entourage.
During the heated exchange at the press conference, DeMoor revealed that a weight clause, against his preferences, was included in their contracts by Tate. This revelation sparked a verbal confrontation between the two fighters, with DeMoor criticizing the imposition of weight restrictions for a heavyweight title fight.
As the event approaches, details about the official weight limit remain undisclosed, following a similar approach to the upcoming fight between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua. Joshua, a former heavyweight champion, faces a weight restriction for his upcoming fight, ensuring a fair matchup against his opponent.
Tate, known for his kickboxing background, is fully committed to his boxing training, emphasizing his serious approach to the upcoming fight. On the other hand, DeMoor continues to express his disdain for the stipulations imposed by Tate, accusing him of being fearful and highlighting his own readiness for the showdown.
The highly-anticipated battle between Tate and DeMoor is set to take place at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium on December 20. Fans can catch the action live on Rumble Premium, with subscription details available for those eager to witness the showdown unfold.
