Chase DeMoor Loses His Mind and Calls Out Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, and Andy Ruiz Jr
Influencer-turned-boxer Chase DeMoor is once again making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Known for his appearances on reality TV and his polarizing presence in Misfits Boxing, DeMoor has now taken his ambitions to a whole new level — by calling out three of the biggest names in heavyweight boxing history.
DeMoor’s Wild Callout
In a post that quickly went viral, DeMoor wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“My official statement, Tell @anthonyjoshua @Andy_destroyer13 @BronzeBomber I’m ready for January. They can’t match my size, speed, or power. I’m the future — the real champ in this era.”
The bold statement left fans and boxing circles stunned, with many mocking the influencer’s overconfidence. While DeMoor has been active in the Misfits Boxing scene — which primarily features internet personalities and entertainers — challenging world-class fighters like Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder, and Andy Ruiz Jr. is a leap far beyond reason.
A Reality Check
Chase DeMoor’s claim of being “the real champ in this era” has drawn heavy criticism. The former football player has become a familiar figure in influencer boxing, but his in-ring performances haven’t exactly lived up to his own hype. Most recently, he’s been part of Misfits’ crossover events, where he’s struggled to find convincing wins.
Comparing that level of competition to the likes of Anthony Joshua or Deontay Wilder — both former world heavyweight champions with Olympic and professional pedigrees — seems more like a publicity stunt than a serious challenge. Even Andy Ruiz Jr, known for his stunning upset victory over Joshua in 2019, has decades of real boxing experience under his belt, something DeMoor simply doesn’t possess.

Biting Off More Than He Can Chew
While self-confidence is essential in combat sports, DeMoor’s latest callout borders on delusion. Misfits Boxing thrives on spectacle and entertainment, but calling out legitimate heavyweight champions highlights just how far the influencer scene is from elite professional boxing.
Fans on social media were quick to remind DeMoor that the difference between influencer bouts and world championship boxing is massive. Size and athleticism alone don’t win fights at the highest level — experience, technique, and ring IQ do.
From Reality TV to Boxing Ring
DeMoor first gained attention through reality shows and social media before transitioning to influencer boxing. Despite his athletic background, he’s yet to prove himself as a serious boxer. His matches in Misfits events have drawn large crowds, but mostly for entertainment value rather than technical skill.
Now, by calling out Joshua, Wilder, and Ruiz Jr., DeMoor appears to be using controversy as a way to stay relevant — a tactic that’s not uncommon in the influencer boxing world. But against world-class heavyweights, such talk seems more like fantasy than ambition.
