Tate, a controversial figure and former kickboxer with a 76-9-1 record, was competing in a full-contact boxing event after a multi-year hiatus. DeMoor, a former football player turned influencer boxer, entered the fight with momentum, having won the Misfits heavyweight title and defended it successfully twice.

By the round’s end, DeMoor had maintained control through consistent pressure and inside work.

Round 4

The fourth round emphasized DeMoor’s strategic body work. Tate attempted to remain active, but DeMoor’s persistent size and energy advantage began to show.
