MMA Fighting has Andrew Tate vs. Chase DeMoor live round-by-round updates at Misfits Mania for their Misfits heavyweight title bout Saturday afternoon at Duty Free Tennis Stadium in Dubai, UAE.
Tate is a figure of much controversy today. A kickboxer-turned influencer, Tate is currently facing allegations of rape and human trafficking in multiple countries, along with his brother, though Tate denies all charges against him. The 39-year-old has a kickboxing record of 76-9-1, but has not competed since 2020.
DeMoor is a former football player and influencer, best known for his time on the reality TV show Too Hot to Handle. He transitioned to influencer boxing in 2022, where he started with a 0-4-1 record. Since then, DeMoor has not lost, though, going 8-0-1 over his past nine fights, including winning the Misfits heavyweight title and making two successful title defenses.
