The world of influencer boxing is set for a seismic event as controversial internet personality and former kickboxing champion Andrew Tate steps back into the ring. He will face the current Misfits Boxing Heavyweight Champion, Chase DeMoor, in a highly anticipated bout that headlines 'Misfits Boxing: The Fight Before Christmas'. The clash is scheduled for December 20, 2025.
Date, Venue and How to Watch the Mega Fight
All roads lead to the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium in Dubai, UAE for this premier boxing event. For fans worldwide, the action will be broadcast live on Rumble Premium. The preliminary fan festivities are set to begin at 1 pm ET (Eastern Time), with the main card walk-ins expected around 5 pm ET.
The fight week schedule is packed with key events. It all kicks off with a press conference on December 18, 2025, followed by the official weigh-in and an award ceremony on December 19. The grand finale, fight night itself, takes place on Saturday, December 20, 2025.
Experience vs Pedigree: Tale of the Tape
This fight is being billed as a classic showdown of experience versus active pedigree. Andrew Tate, a four-time kickboxing world champion, boasts an impressive combat sports record of 76 wins and only 9 losses, with over 30 knockout victories. However, his last professional fight was in 2020 against Cosmin Lingurar, which he won by knockout. Since then, Tate has become one of the most discussed figures on social media. This Misfits bout marks his official debut as a professional boxer, and he has himself admitted the stakes are incredibly high for him.
Standing across the ring will be Chase DeMoor, a reigning champion who has been far more active in the influencer boxing scene. Originally gaining fame from the Netflix series "Too Hot to Handle," DeMoor has reinvented himself as a formidable force in the Misfits Promotion. He carries the experience of 14 professional bouts with a record of 9 wins, 4 losses, and 1 draw. His frequent ring appearances throughout 2024 and 2025 give him a significant edge in recent competitive activity.
Predictions and Fan Expectations
The fight has generated massive hype, largely fueled by Andrew Tate's polarizing online reputation. Analysts and fans are split on the outcome. Many believe Tate's proven world-champion level power, pace, and technical kickboxing foundation could overwhelm DeMoor, who is sometimes critiqued for a lack of traditional boxing technique.
Conversely, Chase DeMoor's supporters point to his superior recent ring time and conditioning. Being the active champion and having faced more varied opponents in the past two years could provide him with the tactical upper hand to weather Tate's initial storm and control the later rounds. This clash of styles and backgrounds promises a compelling and unpredictable main event to close out the year.
