Photos: Lerone Murphy Trains with Controversial Internet Personality for Boxing Debut

Lerone Murphy recently had an unusual linkup.

Murphy is seemingly helping Andrew Tate prepare for his boxing debut. Tate recently took over as the CEO of Misfits Boxing, where he will also make his debut. The former kickboxer will face current Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor on Dec. 20 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium in the UAE.

Photos of Tate and Murphy in training gear have recently surfaced online through former UFC competitor Luke Barnatt.
