Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor has disclosed that his rival Andrew Tate insisted on including a weight clause before their upcoming showdown. Tate, aged 39, is preparing for his professional boxing debut on December 20 against DeMoor, the reigning heavyweight champion. Despite Tate’s background as a kickboxer and former champion, injuries curtailed his career. The two fighters recently engaged in a fiery press conference in Dubai, where DeMoor expressed frustration over the weight limit clause imposed by Tate, leading to a heated exchange between the rivals.
In a surprising turn of events, DeMoor revealed the weight clause disagreement, sparking verbal sparring between the fighters over the contract terms. Tate, taken aback by DeMoor’s accusations, responded defensively, questioning the necessity of a weight limit in a boxing match. The tension escalated as the pair traded barbs, highlighting their differing views on the fight’s terms.
As the fight date approaches, details about the weight limit for the matchup remain undisclosed, mirroring the anticipation surrounding Jake Paul’s move to heavyweight for his upcoming fight with Anthony Joshua. Joshua, a former heavyweight champion, faces weight restrictions for his fight, ensuring a level playing field against his opponent.
Notably, Tate’s transition to boxing from kickboxing mirrors Paul’s trajectory, adding an intriguing dynamic to the upcoming match. Both fighters are intensively preparing for the showdown, with Tate emphasizing his serious approach to the fight despite external criticisms.
