Controversial internet personality Andrew Tate is officially stepping back into the boxing ring for what promises to be one of the most talked-about combat sports events of the summer. The former kickboxing champion will headline a Misfits Boxing card against American YouTube sensation Chase DeMoor.
Tate, who hasn't competed in professional combat sports since 2020, confirmed the matchup during a recent social media broadcast, declaring: "The fight is signed. I'm going to smash his head in. It's going to be a good fight."
From Social Media Feud to Main Event
The bout culminates months of online tension between the two polarizing figures. DeMoor, known for his athletic physique and social media presence, had repeatedly called out Tate across various platforms.
"I'm going to knock Andrew Tate the f*** out," DeMoor boldly stated in his own announcement, setting the stage for a highly personal confrontation.
Misfits Boxing Continues Influencer Dominance
The event falls under the Misfits Boxing banner, the organization co-founded by YouTube megastar KSI that has revolutionized combat sports by blending social media personalities with professional boxing. The promotion has consistently drawn massive pay-per-view audiences through its MF & DAZN X Series.
Tate's return represents a significant coup for the promotion, given his enormous online following and controversial profile. Despite his lengthy absence from competitive fighting, Tate brings legitimate combat credentials as a four-time world kickboxing champion.
Controversy Follows Tate Back to Boxing
The matchup arrives amid ongoing legal challenges for Tate, who remains under house arrest in Romania while appealing rape and human trafficking charges—allegations he vehemently denies. His boxing return inevitably brings additional scrutiny to the event.
Meanwhile, DeMoor brings his own unconventional background to the ring. The American content creator previously competed on Netflix's "Too Hot to Handle" and has built a substantial following through his fitness content and online persona.
As the summer date approaches, combat sports and social media communities alike are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be one of the most divisive yet compelling boxing events of the year.
