In an announcement video posted on Misfits Boxing’s social media platforms, Tate said: “Say hello to your new CEO. I wouldn’t say it was a hostile takeover, but it was certainly planned and Mams and I are going to be working together to finally put Misfits where it belongs on the world stage.
“The largest disruptive force in sports entertainment history.”
He later added: “I guess it’s my job to make the most entertaining fights, and who is the person everyone wants to see fight? Who’s the guy I can sign that everyone will tune in to watch fight? Me. Isn’t that convenient.
“I myself am going to be fighting as CEO on the next Misfits show, December 20, here in Dubai.
“And if I’m going to fight, I may as well do it for a belt. And if it’s going to be for a belt, I may as well do it for the biggest one.
“So I, as CEO, order a mandatory title defence for the Misfits heavyweight belt between myself; King Andrew, the Top G against Chase DeMoor.”
