Controversial social media figure Andrew Tate is poised for a colossal payday as he makes his long-awaited return to combat sports this weekend. The former kickboxing world champion will challenge for the Misfits Boxing heavyweight title against reigning champion Chase DeMoor in Dubai on Saturday, 20th December 2025.
The Lavish Prize on the Line
While an official figure has not been publicly disclosed by the promotion, Andrew Tate is expected to take home a purse worth millions of pounds from the Dubai spectacle. This comes despite the 39-year-old already boasting a significant fortune from his business ventures and cryptocurrency investments. For DeMoor, the former Too Hot to Handle star, this marks his seventh fight of the year and a third defence of the title he won in November 2024.
A Clash of Titans and Controversy
The fight presents a fascinating stylistic clash. Tate, nicknamed 'Cobra', brings a decorated professional kickboxing pedigree, albeit one cut short by injury. His opponent, the 29-year-old DeMoor, has been exceptionally active but faces his toughest test to date. The event is shadowed by Tate's ongoing legal issues; he faces criminal charges in the UK, including rape, which he denies.
Tate's financial standing has been a frequent topic of his online content. According to estimates from Celebrity Net Worth, his wealth sits around $20 million. He has previously claimed to have turned $600,000 into $12 million through Bitcoin and made over $85 million trading on PancakeSwap.
Tate's Focused Mindset Ahead of the Bout
Speaking ahead of the fight, Tate expressed gratitude and a singular focus. "It's fantastic to have a singular focus in life," he stated. "I am very blessed by God to be able to take an opportunity like this and do it in front of so many people." He also revealed a preference for his boxing training camp over his previous kickboxing preparations, citing fewer injuries.
The high-stakes bout headlines a major weekend for crossover boxing, following the heavily anticipated clash between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul, which streams live on Netflix. For Tate, a victory would not only add a boxing title to his resume but significantly boost his profile and earning potential within the burgeoning Misfits Boxing scene.
