The controversial boxing career of Andrew Tate is set to continue, with a rematch against Chase DeMoor now officially in the works for later this year. This comes despite Tate suffering a points defeat in his professional debut for Misfits Boxing last month in Dubai.
The Dubai Defeat and Rematch Clause
Andrew Tate's much-hyped entry into the Misfits ring, where he also serves as CEO, ended in a narrow loss to the reigning Misfits heavyweight champion, Chase DeMoor. The fight, which took place in December 2025, saw Tate start strongly before fading in the later rounds, allowing DeMoor to clinch a points victory and retain his title.
However, the story did not end there. DeMoor has since revealed that a contractual rematch clause was inserted by Tate's team, and it is now being activated. Speaking on a stream with JasonTheWeen, DeMoor confirmed the news, stating, "He has a rematch clause in there too. He wants to run the rematch back. We're going to fight again this year."
Tate's Reaction and DeMoor's Future Plans
Following his loss, Andrew Tate offered a unique perspective, suggesting forces beyond the ring may have influenced the outcome. "The only thing that makes sense is that I was not supposed to win," he mused, before graciously conceding defeat. "Chase deserves this victory; he earned it," Tate stated, while also hinting at a deeper, almost spiritual, acceptance of the result.
For Chase DeMoor, who fought an astonishing seven times in 2025, the victory solidifies his position. He is already eyeing other major fights, including a potential clash with former UFC star Darren Till, who has publicly called for the match to be made.
What's Next for Misfits Boxing?
The confirmed Tate vs DeMoor rematch promises to be a significant event for Misfits Boxing in 2026. It ensures continued spotlight on the promotion's heavyweight division and its controversial new CEO. While DeMoor explores other opportunities, his immediate priority will be to settle the score with Tate once and for all in the squared circle.
The first fight was a close, if somewhat sluggish, affair. Both fighters will now have the chance to make definitive statements in the second chapter of their rivalry, with Tate aiming for redemption and DeMoor looking to prove his win was no fluke.
