Andrew Tate’s Misfits Boxing Debut Announced

Reaction

“Welcome to your new CEO, it wasn’t a hostile takeover but it was certainly planned and Mams [Taylor] and I are going to be working together to finally put Misfits where it belongs on the world stage. The largest disruptive force in sports entertainment history, so considering that somebody that failed at their obligations to make this organisation as big as it should’ve been has been ousted and I’m the new CEO.

“KSI tweeted something that annoyed me three years ago, so long story short: I took his company from him. And considering that I’m the largest name on the planet, if I’m gonna fight on an organisation, why not fight on an organisation that I own a percentage of? It makes a lot of business sense,” Tate said

The Approach

The success for Tate in his boxing debut hinges on his ability to translate his professional kickboxing defense and distance management into boxing. Tate, who primarily competed at lighter weight classes, must prioritize superior footwork and head movement to compensate for any potential lack of size or power. His key tactic will be to utilize a sharp, active jab to establish the range, disrupt Chase DeMoor’s rhythm, and dictate the pace. Tate’s history suggests he excels at counter-punching.

DeMoor, who relies heavily on his natural size and relentless pressure, cannot allow Tate to settle into a rhythm. His game plan will focus on immediately closing the distance, forcing ugly, messy exchanges, and exhausting the former kickboxer’s cardio, which is a known vulnerability for fighters returning after a long absence or moving up in weight. DeMoor will aim to press forward behind a high guard, constantly threatening with power shots, and initiating the clinch to tire Tate.
