Darren Till Explains Why He Walked Out of Andrew Tate Fight Midway Through
Andrew Tate made his fighting comeback in Misfits Boxing, losing to current world heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor.
Tate returned to action for the first time in five years having retired from kickboxing after becoming a world champion in the sport.
The self-proclaimed misogynist is facing criminal and civil proceedings across the world - including in the United Kingdom - meaning the fight took place in Dubai. Tate denies all offences.
DeMoor, an actor from the United States, got his hand raised after a split decision victory on the judges scorecards with Tate admitting after the fight he ‘lost fair and square’.

One man in attendance was fellow Misfits fighter and former UFC title challenger Darren Till who left his seat during the fight after seeing enough.
Asked during the fight whether he was interested in seeing the rest of the bout, Till said: “Not really. I’ve give my life. 20 years to the sport. Blood, sweat and tears.
“I consider myself one of the best striking martial artists in the world.
“ A pair of numpties like that call me out and I'm sat ringside. I have to leave.
“It disrespects everything I believe in and everything I've trained for. What am I watching?
"I'm actually unlearning as I'm watching. So yeah what?”
When pressed as to whether a big-money fight with either man would still interest the Liverpool-born fighter, he responded by blowing a fart sound down the microphone.
Politicians have urged Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to use Tate’s trip to Dubai for the boxing event as impetus to extradite the 39-year-old to the UK.
Him and his brother Tristan face a series of 21 charges including rape, assault, human trafficking and controlling prostitution.
Shadow foreign secretary Dame Priti Patel said: “The Tate brothers face extremely serious charges and it is long since time they were brought to face justice in the UK.
“The Prime Minister must call on the Dubai authorities to arrest them when they visit and extradite them so they the proper judicial process can take place.”
Till hasn’t fought since knocking out former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold in August where he became the inaugural Misfits Boxing bridgerweight champion.
