Andrew Tate, a former kickboxing champion and controversial social media influencer, is set to make his debut in Misfits Boxing. This event will take place on December 20, where he will face Chase DeMoor, the reigning heavyweight champion.
Debut in Misfits Boxing
The bout is scheduled to be held at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. Tate, 38, recently transitioned from the world of kickboxing, where he was a four-time world champion, to the more theatrical realm of celebrity boxing, known for its crossover events.
Controversial Background
Tate is embroiled in various legal troubles across multiple countries, including the UK, US, and Romania. He has denied all allegations related to these cases. After being released from judicial monitoring in Romania, he returned to Dubai in April.
New Leadership in Misfits Boxing
Tate has also taken the role of CEO at Misfits Boxing, succeeding YouTube star KSI. Mams Taylor, the co-founder, stated that Tate would lead the organization towards greater success, emphasizing entertainment and high-profile matches.

Tate aims to attract more viewers to Misfits Boxing, claiming, “Who’s the person who everybody wants to see fight? It’s me.” His ambitious statements have sparked excitement and skepticism within the boxing community.
Legal Issues and Media Response
Recently, charges against Tate related to rape in the UK were dropped due to insufficient evidence. However, he continues to face a civil case brought by three women, set to commence in June 2026. Tate has publicly defended himself, calling the allegations false and portraying himself as a victim of legal battles.
As Tate prepares for his boxing debut, all eyes will be on him, not just for the fight, but for the broader implications of his involvement in Misfits Boxing amidst ongoing controversies.
