Controversial social media personality Andrew Tate is intensively preparing for his upcoming boxing match scheduled for December 2025 in Dubai. Throughout November 2025, Tate has been regularly sharing training videos that portray him as a serious fighter, though his participation has raised significant ethical questions given his ongoing legal battles.
Intensive Training and Grand Preparations
Andrew Tate has maintained an almost daily routine of posting training content during November 2025. His social media channels have featured various workout scenarios, including pad work aboard a private jet en route to Dubai, intensive running sessions on gym equipment, and sparring practice inside professional boxing rings. These carefully produced clips are created by his personal team for his Tate Confidential show, presenting a polished image of athletic dedication.
The 38-year-old Washington D.C.-born influencer is scheduled to face former American football player Chase DeMoor in a December 2025 bout organized by Misfits Boxing. The influencer boxing brand, co-founded by Olajide "KSI" Olatunji, has built its reputation around matching internet personalities including YouTubers, TikTok stars, and OnlyFans creators in the ring.
Legal Clouds Over the Boxing Ring
Despite the athletic spectacle, Tate's participation comes with substantial controversy. Andrew Tate currently faces ten criminal charges in the United Kingdom and has been sued by four women alleging sexual violence. The influencer has denied all charges and claims against him.
Misfits Boxing's decision to feature Tate on their major December event in Dubai has drawn criticism from various quarters. Adding to the controversy, Tate claimed in late October 2025 that he had "ousted KSI" and become the new "CEO" of Misfits Boxing, though the company behind the brand, Proper Loud, has not confirmed this assertion.
The streaming platform DAZN, which holds a five-year partnership with Misfits Boxing, is not expected to broadcast the December bout featuring Tate, indicating potential concerns about the matchup.
Pattern of Controversial Fighters
Andrew Tate is not the only controversial figure featured by Misfits Boxing. The organization has repeatedly showcased fighters with problematic backgrounds and behavior patterns.
Harrison Sullivan, known online as HSTikkyTokky, received a public warning from the Financial Conduct Authority in 2023 about potential scams linked to his unlicensed trading advice. Following his London fight last year, Sullivan engaged in violent behavior including spitting at a fan, throwing a chair, and punching another individual before security intervened. He also head-butted his opponent George Fensom during the weigh-in ceremony.
Dillon Danis, another Misfits regular, is currently facing a lawsuit in the United States filed by supermodel Nina Agdal. Additionally, Polish influencer Natan Marcon caused a disturbance after a Misfits fight in Poland in August 2024, kicking down boards and requiring restraint by security personnel.
These incidents collectively demonstrate how Misfits Boxing has transformed chaos and controversy into entertainment that reaches millions of young viewers worldwide, raising questions about the message being sent to impressionable audiences.
