Andrew Tate’s boxing debut didn’t go as planned! The 39-year-old influencer faced off against American heavyweight Chase DeMoor in Dubai, ending in a hard-fought majority decision loss after six gruelling rounds. While Tate showed promise early on with his swift jabs and body shots, DeMoor’s physical prowess took over by round three. Using his size and stamina, DeMoor wore Tate down, ultimately winning with scorecards of 57-57, 58-56, and 58-56.
Tate, making his return to boxing after five years away, couldn’t shake off the ring rust from his extended break—a point he acknowledged post-fight, citing age and time away as factors in his defeat. The former kickboxing champ put up a brave fight but faced a critical fifth round, enduring a nasty cut above his right eye. Despite nearly being knocked out in the later rounds, Tate kept on fighting till the final bell.
The match didn’t escape criticism. Former UFC champion Michael Bisping shared his less-than-flattering views, calling it “hilariously bad” on social media. Meanwhile, a jubilant DeMoor, after retaining his title, wasted no time in calling out Tommy Fury for a potential clash. With passions high and challenges issued, it seems like this story isn’t over yet!
