Andrew Tate, once a world titleholder in both ISKA and Enfusion, is returning to competitive fighting after years away from the ring. The controversial figure, who became known as much for his outspoken persona as his kickboxing achievements, will make his Misfits Boxing debut against Chase DeMoor in December.
In his latest training footage shared online, Tate showcased sparring sessions with Benjamin Adegbuyi — a towering 6’6” GLORY heavyweight champion known for his power and experience in elite kickboxing competition.
“Day one of fight camp I want to see where I am,” Tate said in his training vlog. “So I’m going to go spar the best fighters basically in the country. We have Benny who’s the GLORY heavyweight champion, we have Olympic boxers, we have some really dangerous guys here, professional boxers. These are some really dangerous guys, the kind of guys I should be sparring at the end of my camp.
“But I’m going to do it now, fresh, straight off a summer of cigars to get my a– kicked. I want to see exactly where I am and jump in at the deep end so we’ll see how it goes.”

Adegbuyi, nicknamed “Benny,” is one of Europe’s top heavyweight kickboxers. A multi-time GLORY contender tournament winner, he has twice challenged for the organization’s heavyweight title. His reputation for knockout power and size has made him a respected figure in international combat sports.
Training with a fighter of Adegbuyi’s stature signals that Tate is taking his comeback seriously, especially considering the size and skill gap between them.
DeMoor’s challenge and unusual weight clause
Tate’s opponent, Chase DeMoor, holds the Misfits Boxing heavyweight title and is known for his background in reality television. Despite his recent success in influencer boxing — where he’s picked up eight wins and a draw — he faces unique conditions for this matchup.
In DeMoor’s own training vlog, he revealed he must make a 200-pound limit for the fight, a notable drop from his usual 219–225 pounds. “I’ll have to shred up a bit,” he said, adding that it will require strict dieting to hit the mark.
While Tate once competed near that weight during his kickboxing prime, his current physique suggests he’s heavier today. The contracted weight gives both men a challenge in what’s being marketed as Misfits Boxing’s biggest heavyweight title fight.
For Tate, the December 20 bout marks his first official fight in years. His comeback has generated massive attention, both for his past in professional kickboxing and for his larger-than-life image online.
While promotional drama around Misfits Boxing often leans theatrical, Tate’s choice to spar with legitimate champions like Adegbuyi gives his preparation real credibility — a sign that this return to fighting might be more serious than many expected.
