Controversial British-American social media personality and former kickboxing champion Andrew Tate is not in talks to fight on a Misfits Boxing card, according to sources close to the broadcaster DAZN, which partners with Misfits.
This comes after numerous reports claimed that Tate was in advanced negotiations for a potential bout later in the year, with an announcement rumored to be made at a recent Misfits show.
However, BBC Sport understands that no talks are taking place and no announcement is planned.
Misfits Boxing, which was co-founded by YouTuber KSI, has become known for hosting events that feature a mix of professional fighters and internet personalities.
The reports of Tate's involvement gained traction despite his ongoing and serious legal challenges in multiple countries, which he and his brother, Tristan Tate, are fighting.
In the UK, four women are suing Tate over allegations of sexual violence, while in Romania, the brothers face accusations of human trafficking, trafficking of minors, and money laundering.
Andrew Tate also faces a rape allegation in Romania.
He has denied these claims, calling them 'a pack of lies and gross fabrications'.
Despite the legal turmoil, some event organizers reportedly see value in Tate's public profile and his background as a four-time world kickboxing champion.
He has made recent high-profile appearances at UFC and Power Slap events.
Neither Tate nor his representatives have publicly commented on the rumored involvement with Misfits.
The next Misfits event, set for Saturday in Manchester, will be headlined by former UFC fighters Darren Till and Luke Rockhold.
