Andrew Tate rematch in jeopardy as Chase DeMoor books new headline fight

Andrew Tate is set to miss out on an immediate rematch with Chase DeMoor after letting his contractual clause lapse.

The Misfits Boxing champion is returning to the ring on June 6 to face German reality TV star Aleks Petrovic. They will compete in the main event of a crossover show between the British promotion and Fame Fighting, where Petrovic is the super-heavyweight champion.

Meanwhile, Tate appears to be still unsure on whether or not he will return to the ring. His loss to DeMoor was an embarrassing moment to close out his year, and with events in his adopted home of Dubai limited, he might struggle to find venues that will accept a fight of his in America or the UK.

After his rematch clause lapsed back in February, he has been entertaining offers for a big fight in his return. And while he appeared to be veering away from Misfits Boxing, he is now defending the promotion in a massive crossover event on June 6 at Ostermann Arena in Leverkusen.

“I was bred for combat,” DeMoor wrote in his announcement post about the event. “I’ve been sleeping long enough, June 6th, that will be two world wars, a World Cup AND a Heavyweight Championship.”

Misfits Boxing boss Mams Taylor branded DeMoor his ‘Team Captain’, with other fighters expected to compete including Salt Papi, Josh Brueckner and Slim Albaher.
