Andrew Tate has claimed his defeat by Chase DeMoor in his boxing debut may have been pre-determined. The controversial influencer lost on points to the Misfits heavyweight champion in Dubai last weekend, appearing tired in the second half of the fight. Two judges scored the bout in DeMoor's favour, while the third scored it a draw.
In a recent statement, Tate suggested that DeMoor might have won because he would have struggled to deal with defeat. 'You have to understand that there are forces larger than us people that exist,' he said. 'I said that the answer was already written. Why did I get tired? I don't know. It doesn't make sense. The only thing that makes sense is that I was not supposed to win.'
Tate speculated that a higher power may have intervened, saying: 'Maybe the win means more to Chase than it would have meant to me. Maybe Chase couldn't handle the loss. Maybe God decided, "You know what, Chase has been through enough with mocking and things on the internet. Chase doesn't need the loss right now. Andrew can handle the loss better."'
He added: 'Maybe, if I won, we would have went out and celebrated that night, and Tristan would have smoked a bunch of cigars and died one minute earlier. Maybe I get an extra minute with my brother because I lost. If that's the case, I'm glad I lost. You have to have faith in a higher power. There's a lesson in all this.'
Tate concluded by urging fans not to take away DeMoor's victory: 'Chase deserves this victory; he deserves the fame, the happiness, the money, the credit. He earned it.'
