Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor has disclosed that his rival Andrew Tate demanded a weight clause be included in their upcoming fight agreement. Tate, aged 39, is transitioning to professional boxing on December 20 to face DeMoor, who holds the heavyweight title. The clash between the two men, with just over two weeks remaining, escalated during a heated press conference in Dubai.
DeMoor faced a brief delay as Tate initially failed to show up on time but later arrived dramatically by boat. The tension between the fighters heightened when DeMoor revealed that Tate had insisted on a weight limit in their contracts, a move that DeMoor criticized as unnecessary. The verbal sparring continued with Tate expressing surprise at the weight clause, leading to a heated exchange of words between the two.
In a similar vein, upcoming fights like Jake Paul’s move to heavyweight and Anthony Joshua’s weight restrictions have garnered attention. Joshua, a former heavyweight champion, faces limitations on his weight for his next bout. Meanwhile, Tate, known for his kickboxing career, is making significant adjustments for his boxing debut, mirroring the strategy of Jake Paul’s weight shift.
The forthcoming bout between Tate and DeMoor is scheduled for December 20 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium. Fans can catch the action live on Rumble Premium with a subscription cost of £7.48 ($9.99) per month. The fight’s exact timings are pending confirmation, but the main card is expected to start around 6 pm UK time, with Tate likely entering the ring first at approximately 10 pm UK time.
Both fighters are intensifying their preparations for the showdown, with DeMoor condemning Tate’s tactics and Tate emphasizing his commitment to a serious boxing approach. The build-up to the fight has been rife with tension and anticipation, promising an exciting match-up for fans eagerly awaiting the showdown in Dubai.
