In August 2025, Ariel Helwani broke the news that Misfits Boxing and controversial influencer Andrew Tate were in advanced talks for Tate to compete in a heavyweight bout by the end of the year.[4] However, a day later BBC Sport contacted DAZN and were informed that Tate was in fact not in negotiations with Misfits despite the earlier reports, Misfits declined to comment.[5] On 15 October, MF Pro newest signee David Lopez revealed that he will make his Misfits debut on a currently unannounced event scheduled for 20 December in Dubai, UAE.[6] That same day, Daily Mirror reported that Tate was set to debut against MFB heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor on the Dubai Misfits 23 event in December.[7] On 19 October, Misfits officially announced the event set for 20 December with the billing "The Fight Before Christmas", a nod to the 1993 animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas.[8] On 30 October, Tate vs DeMoor was officially announced and set for the MFB heavyweight title accompanied with a promotional video that claims Tate has replaced KSI as the new CEO of Misfits.[9]

On 3 November, Mams Taylor confirmed that Tony Ferguson would be unifying his interim MFB middleweight title, and Dillon Danis will be defending his MF MMA light heavyweight title on the undercard.[10] On 5 December however, Misfits announced that Danis had withdrawn from the bout after not being medically cleared to compete following an altercation involving UFC Welterweight Champion Islam Makhachev's team at UFC 322.[11]

On 4 December, the official broadcaster was announced as Rumble Premium, this marks the first event outside of DAZN for Misfits.[12]

Controversy

[edit | edit source]

The announcement regarding Tate vs DeMoor sparked controversy among the boxing audiences due to Tate's legal affairs.[13] Misfits' co-president Mams Taylor stated on the The MMA Hour that "I don't want to platform anyone I think is a truly evil person or anything like that. And I just don't think that any of those things are true about him."[14]

On 19 December during the press conference, British far-right and anti-Islamist Tommy Robinson got into altercation with MF Pro boxer Ty Mitchel.[15]
