Andrew Tate blames conspiracy theory as he makes excuse for Chase DeMoor defeat
Andrew Tate has suggested that his loss to Chase DeMoor may have been decided by a higher power. The controversial influencer, who is a self-proclaimed misogynist, made his boxing debut last weekend but was defeated by the Misfits heavyweight champion in Dubai. Despite a previous career in kickboxing, Tate looked exhausted during the latter stages of the bout and lost on two of the three judges' scorecards, whilst the remaining judge scored it a draw.Tate has now addressed the outcome, suggesting that DeMoor's triumph could be linked to his own capacity to cope with defeat. He said: "You have to understand that there are forces larger than us people that exist. I said that the answer was already written. Why did I get tired? I don't know. It doesn't make sense."The only thing that makes sense is that I was not supposed to win. Why was I not supposed to win? Is the world a better place now that I've lost?"Maybe the win means more to Chase than it would have meant to me. Maybe Chase couldn't handle the loss."Maybe God decided: 'You know what, Chase has been through enough with mocking and things on the internet. Chase doesn't need the loss right now. Andrew can handle the loss better.' Maybe God decided that."Maybe, if I won, we would have went out and celebrated that night, and Tristan would have smoked a bunch of cigars and died one minute earlier."Maybe I get an extra minute with my brother because I lost. If that's the case, I'm glad I lost. You have to have faith in a higher power. There's a lesson in all this."I don't need to know exactly what it is. If God decides that for some reason he's going to instantly gas me when I was in perfect physical condition, so that I lose, I have to accept God's decision, and I'll take the punches in the face like a man."Let me give you some life advice. Never, ever take away your opponent's victory. Chase deserves this victory; he deserves the fame, the happiness, the money, the credit. He earned it."Fellow internet personality KSI was quick to respond on social media following Tate's loss.He posted an image of both Jake Paul and Tate in the aftermath of their respective boxing defeats, captioning it: "Christmas came early."Whilst the bout marked Tate's inaugural boxing appearance, it wasn't his maiden voyage in competitive combat sports. He was previously a kickboxer and additionally holds a 2-1 record in mixed martial arts.
