Since defeating Andrew Tate in a Misfits Boxing heavyweight showdown, Chase DeMoor has enjoyed significant momentum and rising attention. The former Love Island contestant capitalized on that visibility, strategically calling out recognizable names to expand his profile.
Alongside that surge in popularity, DeMoor has engaged in multiple heated exchanges, including a persistent rivalry with veteran boxer Matt Floyd. Floyd and DeMoor have traded verbal shots for months, with the Australian repeatedly expressing a strong interest in settling their differences inside the ring.
Even after DeMoor’s victory over Tate, Floyd continued to criticize his technique, question his boxing fundamentals, and overall ring credibility. In a recent social media post, the Australian fighter further escalated tensions by sharing pointed remarks and making several serious revelations.
“So Chase DeMoor wants to fight me. I actually respect him a bit and I know Andrew Tate offered him money to take a dive. I respect that he didn’t and he beat Andrew. I know it’s true because I got the same type of sh**. But I wouldn’t take a dive for $100 million. I will knock them both out on the same night,” said Matt Floyd via Instagram.
Floyd has also made homophobic comments directed at Chase DeMoor during their escalating online feud. DeMoor responded privately, allegedly sending Floyd DMs asking him to delete the posts and stop labeling him gay. The controversy has intensified public interest, significantly raising anticipation and adding fresh tension to their already heated boxing rivalry

Andrew Tate was planning to fight Matt Floyd
When Andrew Tate decided to return to professional competition, several potential opponents were discussed within combat sports circles. Among the names mentioned during those early conversations was Matt Floyd, who had been exploring opportunities to step into bigger spotlight bouts.
While researching Tate’s fighting background and previous kickboxing achievements, Floyd learned that Sidekick Boxing had sponsored Tate during earlier stages of his career. Floyd was reportedly impressed by how consistently the brand stood behind Tate, publicly supporting him despite controversies and media criticism.
That perceived loyalty resonated positively with Floyd, influencing his decision to reach out and pursue his own endorsement arrangement. However, tensions allegedly escalated when members of Tate’s team began circulating negative claims intended to discourage Floyd’s association with Sidekick Boxing.
Back then, SideKick founder Daniel Knight also suggested Floyd not have high hopes, as he didn’t believe Tate would make a return. On the contrary, Tate did make a comeback but ended up brutally losing against Chase DeMoor.
