Andrew Tate is scheduled to make his debut in Misfits Boxing later this year, where he will face off against the promotion’s heavyweight champion, Chase DeMoor. Tate, 38, is no stranger to combat sports, having had a successful kickboxing career before retiring due to multiple eye injuries affecting his final fights.

The influencer had hinted at transitioning to boxing, with names like Darren Till and Roy Jones Jr. being mentioned as potential opponents. However, it has been confirmed that Tate will be challenging DeMoor, the 29-year-old reigning heavyweight champion who defended his title against Natan Marcon in August.

Although Till missed out on the opportunity to fight Tate, the former UFC title challenger is expected to be part of the undercard, with his opponent yet to be announced. The event, titled Misfits Mania, is set to take place on December 20 at the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai, with the main card likely starting around 6pm UK time. Tate is anticipated to enter the ring around 9pm UK time for the main event.

The broadcast details for the fight have not been disclosed yet, but it will not be available on DAZN as in previous Misfits shows. The event will not be part of the X-Series, and a new broadcaster will be selected. Fans can expect the fight to be on pay-per-view.

The matchup between Andrew Tate and Chase DeMoor, along with Darren Till’s fight against an undisclosed opponent, will be part of the event. The complete fight card will be announced closer to the event date.
