Social media influencer Andrew Tate lost to Chase Demoore in the heavyweight boxing match that aired over the weekend. While the match was intended to mark his return to combat sports, he said that he’ll have to “make a decision” about whether he would return to the ring. After the match, Tate shared his thoughts and later took to social media to defend the loss.
Andrew Tate loses match to Chase Demoore
On Saturday, December 20, 2025, Andrew “Cobra” Tate faced Chase DeMoor for the Misfits Boxing heavyweight title in Dubai. DeMoor retained his title by winning via majority decision, with two judges scoring the fight 58-56 in his favor and one judge scoring it a draw (57-57).
After the match, Tate credited DeMoor for being “tough.” He said, “I’m 10 years out and 40 years old. Gave it my all, but he’s tough. I don’t know what to say, but he’s really tough. Congratulations to him.
When asked whether he’ll return to the ring, he responded, “I’m gonna have to go back, watch the fight, make a decision about it. Chase deserves his win. I’m really happy for him, genuinely.” He ended the interview addressing his fans, saying, “It’s better to try and lose than not try at all.”
Tate later took to X (formerly Twitter) to make a series of posts regarding his recent loss. In one of the posts, he wrote, “Most men have never felt the sting of defeat because most men have never even tried.”
He later made another post: “In 100 years from now, somewhere on the new earth, there will be a man reading about me in a history section of the Skynet. And that’s not because I never lost. But instead, because I always tried.”
A third post stated, “I’m happy when I push, I’m happy when I pull. I smile when I win, I smile when I lose. You gotta roll with the punches.”
He also wrote, “I was raised by men who got up and did it. Even if it was hard. Or they didn’t feel like it. They did it anyway. Every single day.”
He is not the first influencer-turned-boxer who lost a match this month. A day earlier, Anthony Joshua defeated YouTuber Jake Paul during their heavyweight boxing match, titled “Judgement Day,” that took place at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.
