Andrew Tate returned to combat sports on Saturday night for the first time in nearly 15 years and immediately remembered what fear feels like. The former four-time kickboxing world champion. Now 40 and years removed from elite competition, was beaten and bloodied in his Misfits Boxing debut. Losing a majority decision to reality TV personality Chase DeMoor. Tate looked exhausted after three rounds and was ultimately outworked by the younger, larger DeMoor.
But instead of disappearing after the defeat, Tate showed up to the post-fight press conference and delivered one of the night’s most emotional moments. According to Tate, the very thing that pushed him into the ring was the same thing that made him uncomfortable stepping into it at all: fear.
