Andrew Tate could return to the ring this 12 months.
The controversial social media personality had a stint in kickboxing before rising to prominence as a polarizing online figure.
Tate, a former ISKA champion who competed 86 times, has been widely criticized for lots of the opinions that made him go viral. Tate has also been the topic of criminal investigations in Romania, america, and the UK.
Along together with his brother, the 38-year-old was arrested in December 2022 and later charged with rape, human trafficking, and forming an organized crime group to sexually exploit women — allegations Tate has denied.
That has not stopped some distinguished names within the combat sports community from interacting with Tate, and he now even looks set to enter the ring under the Misfits Boxing banner.

Andrew Tate drops sparring partner with a body shot
Before Darren Till knocked out Luke Rockhold at Misfits Boxing 22 in August, the previous UFC star was teasing a future showdown within the ring with Tate.
While that within the works soon after, the most recent update has suggested Tate will fight Chase DeMoor. A report from Mirror Fighting has placed that matchup within the important event of a December Misfits Boxing card.
Although that booking stays unconfirmed, footage has emerged showing Tate training behind the scenes.
The newest clip was posted by @fightgecko on Instagram and features the controversial influencer dropping his training partner with a body shot.

Fans usually are not impressed by Andrew Tate’s latest sparring footage
The clip of Tate dropping a sparring partner has seemingly done little to spice up his boxing stock within the eyes of fans.
Most were quick to dismiss the footage as one other example of the controversial ex-kickboxer trading punches with a smaller and unskilled training partner.
“Keeps his head on the road after most his punches. That’s gonna need to vary.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Andrew Tate sparring opponent actually put up a fight.”
“Never seen him spar someone his size or that may actually box.”
“At all times against kids with no experience.”
“Chase might put up a fight against Tate.”
“Chase Demoor is gonna kill this guy. Yikes! Easy 10x”
