Pre-Fight Verbal Sparring
The build-up to the fight has already featured characteristic bravado from both men. Andrew Tate dismissed his opponent's stature, stating, "Nobody cares who Chase is. I have given him a huge opportunity here... Truthfully, everyone’s there to watch me, no-one there to watch Chase."
Chase DeMoor responded with a mix of respect and defiance, saying, "I do respect him but I’m still gonna beat ** out of him... You can change the opponent then you’re a coward. You and me both know what’s about to happen."
This crossover event promises to draw significant global attention, blending the worlds of social media influence and competitive boxing on a major stage.
