Who is Chase DeMoor? Andrew Tate's boxing opponent for Misfits debut
Controversial influencer Andrew Tate is set to take on reality star-turned-boxer Chase DeMoor in his professional boxing debut later this year
Chase DeMoor rose to fame on popular Netflix series Too Hot To Handle, but has now become a well-known figure in the world of Misfits.
The reality star has made big strides in the world of influencer boxing since making his debut three years ago. Now, he faces his toughest test yet later this year against Andrew Tate. The pair are expected to go head-to-head in Dubai on December 20 as the headline act of Misfits 23 - as exclusively revealed by Mirror Fighting.
It is understood that the final Misfits card of the year will feature Darren Till - who has been linked with his own fight against Tate over the last few months. Tate was a four-time world champion in kickboxing before eventually retiring in 2020.
Recently, he has hinted at making the crossover to Misfits Boxing. Last month, fans were left stunned after the controversial influencer surprisingly appeared in the latest Misfits pound-for-pound rankings. His clash with DeMoor is set to take place at the Coca Cola Arena in what promises to be an epic night of boxing, but who is Tate's opponent?
Who is Chase DeMoor?
Born on June 12, 1996, DeMoor is a popular reality TV star from Seattle, Washington. Before his various stints on our television screens, the social media sensation was known for being a footballer.
Talking about his childhood, DeMoor previously told the The Arizona Republic: “I am a Washington native originally. I grew up in a smaller town up there called Eatonville, Washington. [It has a] very small population; it’s one of those mom-and-pop towns. My parents lived there; my grandparents lived there.”
The 29-year-old played defence for the likes of the Arizona Rattlers and the Houston Linemen, before eventually becoming a big hit in the world of reality TV. DeMoor has amassed millions of followers across his various social media pages, including Instagram and TikTok.

In 2021, the influencer boxer shot to fame on season two of Netflix’s reality show Too Hot Handle. Clearly a confident individual, the 29-year-old described himself as “100 per cent the alpha male” in his intro tape.
He also said he prided himself on being a ladies’ man. The social media star became a big hit throughout the series and, following his success on the Netflix show, was snapped up for other reality shows. DeMoor has also appeared on fellow Netflix series, The Perfect Match. Over the last few years, though, he has swapped the reality TV cameras for the boxing gloves - and is now regarded as one of the biggest stars in Misfits.
What is DeMoor's boxing record?
According to Boxrec, the 29-year-old has a record of 8-4-2, including exhibition outings. DeMoor first put on the boxing gloves on the Austin McBroom vs AnEsonGib undercard back in 2022. The American made a good account of himself, but ended up fighting to a draw against Cory Wharton.
Following the result, DeMoor was unable to kick on and ended up losing his next four fights against Josh Brueckner, Stevie Knight, Alan Belcher and Tempo Arts. The defeat to Arts was DeMoor's last loss inside the ring, and has since been on an absolute tear. He picked up his first professional win against Minikon back in January 2024 before picking up three more wins that year against Terrick Maven, KELZ and Carlos Valenzuela.
The points win over KELZ on the AnEsonGib vs Slim Albaher last November saw the American crowned the Misfits heavyweight champion. DeMoor took a few months of following his win over Valenzuela, returning to the ring back in March against Israel Troles. After scoring a brutal knockout victory, the Washington native returned in May to defend his Misfits title against Tank Tolman. The heavyweight champion was taken into the third round, but eventually defended his gold strap with a vicious knockout victory.
Whilst many fighters need a few months off after a gruelling win, DeMoor returned just a few weeks later and knocked out Jesus Juarez in a professional outing in Mexico. Soon after, Misfits announced they would be staging one of their biggest events ever, titled 'Ring of Throne' - headlined by a clash between Till and Luke Rockhold. DeMoor just had to be a part of history and was back to defend his title against Natan Marcon. The 29-year-old ended up making easy work of Marcon, scoring a second round knockout to retain his belt. DeMoor still holds the Misfits heavyweight title and has already fought five times this year, most recently drawing against Efrain Carranza Gonzalez last month.
DeMoor's chaotic boxing moments outside the ring
Despite being known for his brutal knockout power, many see the American fighter as a bit of a wind up merchant. During a pre-event press conference back in May, DeMoor was involved in an altercation with long-time rival Tempo Arts. The American threw a water bottle at his former opponent - who beat him in 2023 - hitting him in the face. Arts then got up with DeMoor flipping a table and fighting against security to try and get to his rival.
WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE
Ahead of his fight with Marcon, the American threatened to pull out of the contest after being hit by an egg. DeMoor was eventually restrained by four security guards as tensions threatened to boil over. That then led to a back-and-forth between the pair on social media. Despite hinting at pulling out, the heavyweight champion ended up fighting Marcon.
Their showdown was waved off in the second round on the advice of the doctor after DeMoor split open Marcon's lip with an uppercut. Marcon was clearly aggrieved by the decision and charged over to try and attack his foe - missing with a series of punches before security stepped in.
DeMoor wound Marcon up even more by sticking his tongue out and twerking in his direction. The Polish social media star was then escorted out of the ring before further chaos erupted backstage. Footage then captured Marcon exchanging blows with another crossover fighter, Rahim Pardesi. All hell broke loose as both teams got involved - with several punches being thrown.
Marcon later took to social media to address his followers: "A championship fight… and the referee stops it because of a cut lip… He could have stopped it, but he shouldn’t have. I wanted to fight. I didn’t lose this. But the federation’s golden boy still has to remain champion. I’ll prove it soon."
DeMoor hit back with his own post, reading: "Natan might’ve thought he could out-troll the troll—but that only gave me the edge. The mental victory came long before the physical one. I won that war in silence, in the moments nobody else saw. I stayed grounded because of the circle around me—real ones who kept me focused when the noise got too loud.
"And in the background were voices that nobody else heard… voices crying for justice. And I was the only one who could answer. The Kraken is slain. Justice was served—with a scar left behind to remind them of the day they thought they could beat Chase DeMoor."
