Andrew Tate says he is ready to serve up some ‘humble pie’ to Chase DeMoor after being caught flinching during their final face-off.

Tate, known as much for his brash persona as his fighting background, was put on the back foot at the ceremonial weigh-ins. During their face-off, DeMoor pretended to throw a punch, catching Tate off guard and making him visibly react.

After the incident, the former kickboxing world champion spoke with Bloody Elbow about how he sees things playing out in the ring. He suggested the 29-year-old American might have something to apologise for afterwards, and doubled down on his prediction of a knockout win.

Rightly or wrongly, Tate is one of the most infamous men on the planet. DeMoor has capitalised on being the man chosen to fight him, using every opportunity to build his own brand.

He has agreed to several conditions, like coming in at 200 pounds for a heavyweight title bout and sticking to a rehydration limit. But he has not held back when it comes to trash talk, either.

Regarding that, Tate stated to Bloody Elbow: “He’s going to have to eat a lot of humble pie.

“I think that it will make him a better person afterwards. I think he will grow into a better human being once he has gotten up off the canvas.”

During his kickboxing career, ‘King Cobra’ often said it was not just about winning, but about dominating his opponents. And as he prepares to step into the ring again, that mindset has not changed.
