Andrew Tate defeated by kickboxer in ‘pink gloves’

Former kickboxing champion and controversial internet figure Andrew Tate was defeated by reality-TV personality Chase DeMoor at Misfits Mania: The Fight Before Christmas.

Tate was left injured, bloodied and visibly bruised after enduring a punishing defeat in his controversial return to the ring. He reportedly suffered a severe eye injury.

While mainstream coverage focused on the unexpected outcome, social media buzz took a lighter cultural turn, centring on the striking imagery of DeMoor fighting in bright pink gloves. Clips and memes circulated showing Tate taking heavy shots and even going to his knees against an opponent wearing pink gloves — a detail that has become a symbolic punchline in online reactions.

Many users joked about the irony of Tate, known for projecting hyper-masculine ideas, being bested by someone wearing a colour traditionally associated with femininity, turning the gloves into a humorous cultural marker.

On Reddit, users riffed on the pink gloves theme with comments such as "got whooped by some pink gloves — not alpha" and "chased by the pink," blending humour with criticism of Tate's macho persona.

While the glove colour carries no official sporting significance, it has added a viral cultural twist to the narrative of an unlikely defeat.
